The Kills Cover Rihanna’s ‘Desperado’ for SiriusXMU

The Kills have returned with their first album in five years, “Ash & Ice,” the follow-up to 2011’s “Blood Pressure.”

In celebration of its release, Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart stopped by SiriusXMU for a stripped-down performance of songs from the new effort. During the exclusive “SiriusXMU Session,” they also transformed Rihanna’s slow-burning “ANTI” cut Desperado into a bluesy acoustic number driven by Mosshart’s gritty vocals.

The Kills’ full “SiriusXMU Session” premieres on June 8 at 9pm ET with rebroadcasts throughout the week.
