Bastille Performs Cover of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You”

ABC/Randy HolmesBastille has joined the multitude of artists who've covered Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You."

The band performed their version of the modern holiday classic during a recent appearance on BBC Radio 1's "Live Lounge," which features artists doing acoustic covers of other hits.

While Bastille's music is often characterized as cinematic and anthemic, they take a more stripped-down approached to their piano-based cover of "All I Want for Christmas Is You."  But frontman Dan Smith spices things up a bit by adding a verse from R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" to the song.

Bastille will be touring arenas across North America next year in support of their sophomore album, Wild World.
