As much as we flat out adore the songs of Anna Ternheim -- and pine mightily for her upcoming album The Night Visitor (October 28 in Europe) -- we've also grown to love the Swedish songwriter's choice of covers over the years, from her take on David Bowie's "China Girl" to her 4-track collection of songs by Frank Sinatra (check out her amazing "New York, New York" after the jump). One of our faves is her take on "Little Lies", the Fleetwood Mac song written by Christine McVie. There's something so cool and detached in her reading but the melody shines through the melancholy, a buoyant pop song reinvented as dark, ethereal folk tune.

Really nice - few people remember that C. McVie actually had the most hit singles (so far!) in FM. "Little Lies" was also wonderfully covered by Ari Hest for an ep of his several years ago.
I love this song since it was released and this version with her sweet nordic accent is very loveley, great cinema :)
