Good cover songs are about necessity — something about the source material that needed to be revisited, revised, redone or otherwise rescued from the original production. You don’t have to improve on it, exactly, but if the original is perfect the way it is, then there’s not a whole lot of sense in either reinventing it or re-creating it note for note.
NPR’s Stephen Thompson on how to build the perfect cover song and why he desperately wants The New Pornographers to cover Enrique Iglesias’ “Escape” (via nprmusic)

I don’t think I agree with this. Our delta blues covers aren’t about improvement, it’s about showing a song in a new light and being creative with it

MØ - Waste Of Time

Keep an ear out for more of this danish singer songwriter. We’ve been listening to Pilgrim on repeat ever since we posted it last month and now her new song Waste Of Time is really grabbing attention from the big boys
