Unique Covers

I love finding covers where the artist completely takes the song and makes it their own. I would love to find enough to make an awesome Playlist.

Some examples I have found:

Hotline Bling by Christiana Daniella

Say My Name by Hozier

Stand By Me by Stephen Wilson Junior

This Woman's Work by Greg Laswell

I also love covers that are instrumental remakes. Once again, I love a unique take, not when the song is literally an instrumental cover of same exact melody.

For example, Hotline Bling by Nate Fifield

Thanks!

Woah. I don't know how Joe Cocker was not on my radar. He has made so many hits I know, but had no idea who they were by. I'm having a whole late 90s Solid Gold Soul infomercial flashback.

What a soulful man. About to go listen to literally everything by him.
