Just lately I've got a little bit obsessed with covers of songs. It's a bit like book reviews really, because everyone interprets a book in different way. Well it's the same with music, it means different things to different people. And somehow, with covers, the same song can mean different things when somebody else sings it. Interprets it in their own way. So I thought I'd compile a little list of my favourite cover songs of the moment, and maybe repeat this every week.
1) Last Christmas - Nerina Pallot. Originally by Wham. Laced with Nerina's soft and stunning vocals, and incredible electric guitar. Check this beautiful cover out here.
2) Your Song - Ellie Goulding. Originally by Elton John. A really toned down version of a timeless classic. Check it out here.
3) Like a G6 Remix- Charli XCX, MNEK & Mercedes vs Far East Movement - This is a must listen! I wasn't really keen on the original, but this is beyond amazing. Probably my favourite cover of 2010. Charli's vocals are phenomenal as always. You must click here for this one!
Right, that's your lot for this week, but next week there should be another list, hopefully with more covers than this week. Check back soon, and make sure you check out ALL 3 of these, they're amazing!!
