Watch Brockhampton's Soothing Cover of Alicia Keys' 'Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready)'

Fresh off their first No. 1 album with Iridescence, Brockhampton stopped by triple j radio during their Australia trek for a unique performance as part of the station's Like a Version series.

When up-and-coming cartoonist Keef Knight has a traumatic run-in with the police, he begins to see the world in an entirely new way.

The boy band delivered a stripped-down cover of Alicia Keys' "Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready)" 2010 hit, in addition to standout cut "San Marcos" off the crew's Billboard 200-topping LP.

Bearface, born Ciaran Ruaridh McDonald, led the homage to the R&B songstress, supplying luscious vocals while the rest of the group members surrounded him on the floor alongside lit candles. The calming atmosphere is an appeasing change of pace compared to the band's usual frenetic ways.

Brockhampton reunited for a more conventional performance of "San Marcos," featuring the crew draped in all-black linens, backed by soprano harmonies and somber string instrumentation. Even through their lucrative deal with RCA Records and all of the commercial success, the boys still yearn for the happiness that brought them together in the first place.

Watch both performances courtesy of triple j below.
