Susan Boyle’s Dreamy High Notes Singing “Lilac Wine” Will Leave You Breathless
“Lilac Wine” is a romantic, sultry classic, and Susan Boyle’s cover of it is top-notch.
The Got Talent alum featured her “Lilac Wine” cover on her third studio album, 2011’s Someone to Watch Over Me, and it’s a welcome addition.
Boyle’s vocal bells and whistles are on full display singing “Lilac Wine.” From dreamy high notes to impressive riffs and a crackly tone that almost sounds like you’re listening to a record, Boyle put her own, singular spin on “Lilac Wine.” And it’s worth checking out!
“Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where’s my love? / Lilac wine, I feel I’m steady, where’s my love?,” the 63-year-old singer endearingly croons on the track. While many know Boyle from her impressive covers of inspirational songs and well-known religious hymns, there’s something about her performing a song like this that just hits different.
Boyle, as many know, achieved massive fame in 2009 after her Britain’s Got Talent singing audition went viral. She performed “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Mis and left everyone gobsmacked, including Judge and Got Talent mastermind Simon Cowell.
“Our expectations were quite low, but she is the perfect example of never judge a book by its cover,” Cowell said while discussing Boyle on an episode of America’s Got Talent (which returns this summer to NBC). “She is just the most incredible person. This was a lady who lived on her own in Scotland, and she came on the show and everything changed. Because up until that point, there was a perception that you had to look this way, or be this age, and she just changed the rulebook. Full stop.”
