Earlier this month we learned about Starbucks’ forthcoming Sweetheart 2014, the coffee retailer’s fifth compilation of indie-minded artists covering their favorite love songs. We’ve already heard Jim James’ take on Bob Marley and now we’ve got Beck’s version of the 1970 John Lennon/Phil Spector collab “Love.” Listen below.
