Gotye has clarified his recent comments about Glee’s cover of his song ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’.
The singer said that the cover of his song by Darren Criss and Matt Bomer was “dinky and wrong… like it’s playing to you from a cardboard box”.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Gotye explained his remarks during a private performance in Los Angeles yesterday.
Gotye said, “I thought it was really clever to transpose the song to two guys… It was a great idea.
“The nature of using reverb and space in a recording can change your perception of how a sound appeals to you.”
He went on to say that he had made his comments in reference to “this xylophone hook in my song – it’s kind of dinky not just in the cover version but the original song.
“Somehow, that becomes ‘the Glee cover I hated and Darren Criss is an asshole’.”
