It takes exceptional artistry to turn an '80s groove track into an R&B social justice anthem. Luckily for us, we have Shea Rose.
TRACK REVIEW: SHEA ROSE – “D.T.M.A. (B-52’S COVER)”
Cover
RUN FOR COVER: BOB DYLAN VS. THE TALLEST MAN ON EARTH: “I WANT YOU”
Swedish singer-songwriter The Tallest Man on Earth turns Dylan's rich love song into a speedy banjo howl.
RUN FOR COVER: FUGAZI VS. RUBBLEBUCKET: “WAITING ROOM”
RUN FOR COVER: ALVVAYS VS. BEN GIBBARD: “ARCHIE, MARRY ME”
There's something about sunny '60s pop that never gets old.
RUN FOR COVER: JIMI HENDRIX VS. CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG: “HEY JOE”
RUN FOR COVER: BJÖRK VS. ANE BRUN: “JÓGA”
It goes without saying that no one can top Björk. Her songs are too pure at their core to be mimiced. Ane Brun, however, came the closest we've seen to doing Björk justice.
RUN FOR COVER: CHROMATICS VS. ANIKA: “IN THE CITY”
RUN FOR COVER: ELLIOTT SMITH VS. MADELEINE PEYROUX: “BETWEEN THE BARS”
RUN FOR COVER: NO DOUBT VS. MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA
RUN FOR COVER: NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS VS. COLD WAR KIDS: “OPIUM TEA”
Cold War Kids take Nick Cave's song and do their best getting a smile out of his grim number.
