Awesome and Surprising Cover Songs!
Sharing my Music Passion
My own personal criteria to say ‘Hey this is an awesome cover song’ are very simple. For me, amazing cover songs need to not remind me of the original version. The artist covering a song needs to take it, randomly mix it, carry it to a completely other level and add his own style.
When discovering new cover songs it needs to be a breath-taking experience. I need it to blow me away. It can do so either by a closed genre artist adapting an opposite genre song from his style. Taking it completely to another direction where no one would have thought it would have worked.
Original, out of the box and blow-me away versions!
Surprise cover songs, when listening to a new album without knowing it, has always caught my ear. They instantly fall on my repeat list for a while to let this new version subtlety engrave my soul.
