This week’s That Grape Juice Cover Star is from Aussie male singing group Fortunate. Watch as the fab foursome knock Beyonce’s latest hit ‘Drunk In Love’ out of the park:

Intoxicating to say the least!  With flawless harmony on deck, the quartet took the bass driven Beyonce number and turned it into a sexy acoustic slow jam.  Steering clear of overdone melisma and opting out of inclusion on “team too much”, the fab foursome deliver what we think is the best cover yet of ‘Drunk In Love’.

For that we say bravo!
