STEELHEART have shared their rendition of the BADFINGER classic ‘Without You’, which has been a hit previously for Harry Nilsson and Mariah Carey.
In 1996, the same year Mariah Carey‘s cover of ‘Without You’ swept across Europe, became the #7 best-selling single of the year in the UK, hit #1 in over a dozen countries, and topped the European Hot 100 chart for two weeks, STEELHEART frontman Miljenko Matijevic quietly recorded his own version of the BADFINGER classic.
That recording sat. Matijevic waited. Decades later, he’s ready.
‘Without You’ by STEELHEART is out now, featuring a 40-piece orchestra and what Matijevic calls the most emotional vocal he has ever captured on tape.
‘Without You’ – written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans of BADFINGER, first released on their 1970 album No Dice, and later immortalized by Harry Nilsson and AIR SUUPLY before Carey‘s chart-topping rendition – has never received Matijevic’s definitive interpretation. Until now.
