Rosé Covers The Killers At LACMA Gala

On her solo records, the BlackPink member Rosé tends to go for big, bright new wave hooks. That's what she did on her smash Bruno Mars duet " APT " and her recent Olivia Rodrigo-esque single " new trick ." On Saturday, Rosé performed at the Los Angeles County Museum Of Art's annual Art + Film Gala. Leonardo DiCaprio was one of the event's hosts, so this was a room full of fancy people, and Rosé took the opportunity to cover a new wave hit from the '00s.
Nobody is going to get mad if I call the Killers' "Read My Mind" a new wave song, right? It's obviously from 2006, not the OG new wave era, and the Killers were going for more of a Springsteen thing when they made it. It still sounds like new wave to me, and I mean that in the best way. I thought Rosé did a fine job with the song, and it's nice to hear someone cover a Killers hit that's not "Mr. Brightside." Watch it below.
