Amanda Palmer just released her duet cover of Portishead's "It's A Fire" with Rhiannon Giddens. The arrangement (by Jherek Bischoff, natch) is a little heavy-handed, I think, but it's one of my favorite Portishead tracks and I think the dual voices works well. Neither of these singers is Beth Gibbons and neither one is trying to be.
There doesn't appear to be an official video for the song; this fan vid is quite popular though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y26KpgZknY&ab_channel=Qz45
There's also a popular cover by Amy Lee (of Evanescence fame) who I think does make the mistake of trying to be Beth Gibbons and I am not fond of the result.
