    Rick Astley might be best known as the singer of Internet meme Never Gonna Give You Up, but you better put some respect on his name - he's a great artist.

    He's been uploading covers to YouTube throughout 2020, and he's just dropped his cover of Post Malone's Better Now - and we're loving it.

    He's transformed the song into an acoustic ballad, stripping back the track to nothing but his voice and his acoustic guitar.

    Speaking about the track, Rick says, "There are a lot words in this song. It's not my song. I don't really know it properly, but I love it so I'm going to give it a go."

    We think he's being far too modest, because he nails it, lyrics and all. Posty's a self-professed guitar whiz, and we reckon he'll be digging this interpretation of one of his biggest tracks.
