Harpist's Cover Of Taylor Swift's 'Style' Is Just Too Damn Good

Meet Ogden, our new favorite harp and ultimate music crush (who is a harp).

The harp dates back to as early as 3500 B.C., which makes it a sufficiently ancient kind of instrument. Emilie Kahn, however, is a contemporary singer-songwriter and harpist whose cover of Taylor Swift's "Style" is anything but traditional.

Kahn, along with her trusty harp, Ogden, make up the unconventional pair Emilie & Ogden. The partly inanimate duo are behind the strangely intoxicating performance featured above. In the video, Kahn's unearthly voice transforms Swift's catchy '80s-tinged hit into a stinging and surreal ballad.

And that plucky harp proves that -- despite the fact that it's 5,500 years old -- the ethereal music-maker never goes out of style.

Slay, Ogden, slay!
