Covers

Är väl inte så jätteintresserad av såna här grejer engentligen, men lineupen känns ändå lite småkul. Rent spontant blir jag lite sugen på Lily Allens coverval av Straight To Hell, Hot Chips tolkning av Transmission och TV On The Radio med Heroes. Det är sällan covers blir riktigt kul, artister som tolkar sina idoler tenderar ofast att visa för mycket respekt till orginalverket men jag hoppas att ovan nämnda vågar sätta sin egen musikaliska prägel på låtarna.

Så här lyder pressrealesen:

WAR CHILD ANNOUNCE “HEROES” FULL TRACKLIST AND ARTIST LINEUP THE ALBUM WILL BE RELEASED ON FEBRUARY 16TH

War Child announce the full list of artists and songs that feature on their new album “Heroes”, released on Parlophone on February 16th.

The album concept is that the biggest legends in music history select one of their personal favourite songs from their own songwriting canon, and nominate a music hero from the next generation to create a modern reworking of that classic song. The album is in support of the real heroes – children who live with the brutal effects of war.

1. Beck (Bob Dylan: Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat)
2. Scissor Sisters (Roxy Music: Do The Strand)
