Artists have been performing songs written by others since ancient texts were sung in ancient melodies. While it’s commonplace today, in the early days of modern music, performers and songwriters were not typically one in the same – songwriters wrote the songs, and singers sang them.
But cover songs are special.
Instead of recording the work of a songwriter, a piece unheard by the public until it’s recorded and released and/or performed publicly, the reimagining of previously released records by a new artist brings new life and new magic.
A cover song displays the unique vision of true performers, musicians, and producers, as well as the power in words and melodies born from the minds of brilliant songwriters.
These brilliant covers honor the original compositions and stun with fresh interpretations.
