Rather Be (Clean Bandit Cover) // The 1975

Cover Corner

Is there anything The 1975 can’t do? Probably not. I personally think that it sounds as if they laid this song over their remix of Cavalier by James Vincent McMorrow, because I find myself being about to dive into that and then remembering that’s not what I’m listening to. But Matty Healy is amazing as always, and the original is good too.

What Is Love (Haddaway Cover) // Jaymes Young

Cover Corner

You might not even recognize the song because it’s so different than the original, but it is so haunting and dark and beautiful you’re gonna love it anyway. That’s all I have to say about that. Love this guy.

Electric Feel (MGMT Cover) // Henry Green

Cover Corner

Today is a special day, my dear readers, because YOU get a two-for-one: both a cover AND a remix. Now, the reason this is occurring is because there was a cover done by Henry Green, and then there was a remix done of the cover. I just like both of them so much that I couldn’t decide which one to share with you all, so you’re getting both.

This is the original cover,

and this is the remix.

Which one do you all like better? Help me decide and let me know with a comment below!

Hold On We’re Going Home (Drake Cover) // Arctic Monkeys

Cover Corner

If you don’t know any songs that have been covered ever, this is the one you should know. Listen to me, people. Listen to Arctic Monkeys cover Drake.

What do you think, better than the original? Do you know anyone else who has covered this song that I should give a listen to? Any other Arctic Monkeys covers you love? Let me know with a comment below!

XO (Beyonce Cover) // John Mayer

Cover Corner

There really isn’t much to say about this, other than you didn’t know you needed it until you were listening to it.

Blank Space + Style Mashup (Taylor Swift Cover) // Louisa Wendorff & Devin Dawson

Cover Corner

You already know that I love Taylor’s newest album, so it’s no surprise I love this mashup of two of my favorite songs off the album. What I really love about this is how these two really make these songs their own, not just a simple cover of one or the other. T-Swift is obsessed with this, and so am I.

Fast Car (Tracy Chapman Cover) // Sam Smith

Cover Corner

I’M DYING, I’M DEAD, I AM OFFICIALLY GONE. Sam Smith has done it again, ladies and gentlemen. To be quite honest, I haven’t even finished listening to it all the way through yet because I am freaking out about how fantastic it is that badly that I had to post immediately.

If you aren’t obsessed with this, I don’t want to hear about it. Actually, I do. What do you think? Are you also now in the afterlife? Let me know with a comment below!

Do I Wanna Know? (Arctic Monkeys Cover) // Hozier

Cover Corner

Great song covered by an incredible artist. Hozier brings a completely different vibe to this track, which really just makes it his own.

What do you think, better than the original? Do you know anyone else who has covered this song that I should give a listen to? Any other Hozier covers you love? Let me know with a comment below!

Take Shelter (Unplugged) // Years & Years

Cover Corner

I really just love this guy’s voice and this song and it’s not the original so here we are calling it a remix. Happy Sunday!

Anyone else completely obsessed with this? Have any suggestions of acoustic versions of songs I should check out? Let me know with a comment below!
