Amandla Stenberg Completely Reinvents Mac DeMarco’s “Let My Baby Stay”

Their cover appears on the Everything, Everything soundtrack.

May 11, 2017

Amandla Stenberg's next big acting role will be in Everything, Everything, a teen romance based on the 2015 young-adult novel of the same name. Ahead of the movie hitting theaters on May 19, Stenberg has shared a new cover of Mac DeMarco's "Let My Baby Stay," which features on the soundtrack.

The original "Let My Baby Say" is typical of DeMarco's charming lo-fi slacker sound and appeared on his 2014 album Salad Days. However, Stenberg takes the song and turns it into a woozy late-night R&B jam. "Please don’t take my love away," they sing. "Let my baby stay." Check out the song, and its accompanying video, above.
