With some lovely backing “ooohs” from frontwoman Julia Cumming, this isn’t a cover that is looking to reinvent its source material, but simply to give it a low-key interpretation that pays deference to a master songwriter in Young. —Tyler Kane, Deep in their album cycle for AM, Alex Turner & co. brought lounge chic to Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home,” then the biggest song in the world, completely unmissable if you were within distance of a car radio or a bar playlist.

Gentle Gwen (Trad. Cobain himself probably would have approved of such artistic liberty.

In a year that saw more than its fair share of changes, no one captured all that anguish quite like Bradley, who speaks for us all near the end of “Changes” when he howls, “It hurts so bad … ” Despite the stupefying power of its raw emotion, this song—Charles Bradley’s song—is a reminder that pain is a part of being human.

The performance was shot at b.b gun leather, a garage workshop in a residential neighborhood—one might say a suburb—of East Vancouver. By slowing the song to a crawl, Lorde revealed the slow-churning bummer that existed under the synth-washed ’80s production. —Scott Russell, The Cranberries seem like one of those artists that shouldn’t be covered. —Lizzie Manno, Haim has had enough comparisons to late ‘80s/early ‘90s pop artists for us to have seen this one coming, but that doesn’t make it any less awesome. The session is just one of a slew of covers Bridgers released in 2018.

The Secret Sisters Had they been released earlier, they would have been included here. It’s hard not to hear the lyrics and think of her past relationships, or to marvel at the fact that—holy crap!—Rihanna is covering a Tame Impala song. In a similar way, Rihanna’s ANTI was also quite a change for her. Find out now! It’s that good.

While not unsympathetic to the character, Smith is still scornful of him, whereas Baker’s mournful voice and echoing electric guitar emit nothing but pity for the man; she seems to regret that “there’s no one to stop you.” Smith’s version is darker, while Baker’s is sadder. —Ellen Johnson, Before she released “Doin’ Time” on her 2019 album NFR!, Lana Del Rey’s setlist at a Dublin, Ireland, show included an alluring, smooth live cover of the Sublime song, complete with backup dancers and a backdrop depicting tropical palm trees. —Ellen Johnson, Death Cab For Cutie released a cover of Frightened Rabbit’s “My Backwards Walk” as part of their Spotify Singles collection in 2018.

Baby (Justin Bieber cover) The singer/songwriter, now an indie staple after the release of her album Atlanta Millionaires Club earlier this year, included “Dancing in the Dark” on her 2013 debut album Run and Tell. It wouldn’t be surprising if, to a certain segment of 2010s YouTubers, this was the definitive version of “I Want You Back.” —Jim Vorel, No one ever said Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well” was a bad song, but the Red cut has re-emerged this year with new fervor, thanks in part to a wave of nostalgia that swept over older Swift fans after she released the horrendous “ME!,” the bane of her new album Lover, and also in part to Swift’s recently released Tiny Desk concert, during which she played the song and officially proclaimed it “a sad song about fall,” which we’ve known all along. Perhaps that’s what makes his delivery of lines like “I’m as puzzled as a newborn child / I’m as riddled as the tide” so convincing. Franklin worked with André 3000, Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, and longtime collaborator Clive Davis to produce the 10-track record, which features covers of classics like Etta James’ “At Last,” Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” and The Supremes’ “You Keep Me Hangin’ On.” The first single from the record, and the most modern cover in the compilation, is the Queen of Soul’s take on Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep.” Franklin adds some auxiliary diva to Adele’s already diva-loaded hit, and brings her own blend of punch, spice, and Aretha. Can you guess the number one R&B song in 2010? The existential doubt in Tim Buckley’s telling of the Odyssey takes the helm in this banjo-led cover. A great band or artist forces us to hear the song in a new way. Runnin’ with the Devil (Van Halen cover) The choice of song most likely comes from the time the bands spent touring together in 2008, when Frightened Rabbit opened for Death Cab in support of The Midnight Organ Fight. The influence of bands like Modest Mouse or Built to Spill on the current batch of singer-songwriters of whom Bridgers is a part is readily apparent on songs like this, songs where the simple heartbreak of the country framework is reworked into something more scattered and complex. “Weird Al” Yankovic 30 Best Hip-Hop Albums Of The 2010s, Ranked Music Street Sweeper Social Club —Max Freedman, Lorde must have been a Donnie Darko fan. Perhaps not, but the folk supergroup’s Spotify Singles version of the already-stellar track from Vampire Weekend’s 2013 album, Modern Vampires of the City, is immaculate. It was a bright spot in an album full of them, so it should come as no shock that Simpson’s recast of a seminal teen-angst anthem in Nirvana’s “In Bloom” achieve such rigorous and satisfying transformation. As covers should, this rendition addresses old material with a new tactic: Smith gave us the man’s internal dialogue, and Baker adds a perspective to the story—that of a lamenting bard sharing his tragedy with the world. The defining tracks of the decade, starring Robyn, Drake, Vampire Weekend, Daft Punk, SZA, and many more. Here are the best cover songs of the 2010s. In that context, Rihanna’s cover of the Tame Impala song—changed to “Same Ol’ Mistakes”—makes perfect sense. As the opener of the band’s sprawling 2012 album Kill for Love, “Into the Black” introduces listeners to Chromatics’ newly hi-fi, nocturnal take on dream pop world while rendering the story of Johnny Rotten as potent as when Young first told it. When he hasn’t been sitting behind a drumkit with the Dead Weather, Jack White has been perched beside the production boards at his own Third Man Records. Thought by many to be the most insipid – and ubiquitous – pop song of the year, “Baby” invites tongue-in-cheek interpretations. In doing so, Sunflower Bean tipped its hand a bit in implying the evolution of their sound that would occur between 2016 debut Human Ceremony and 2018’s acclaimed follow-up Twentytwo in Blue, presaging the subtle move away from from indie rock psychedelia in the direction of a poppier sound informed heavily by 1970s classic rock, which continued on 2019 EP King of the Dudes. “I think that doing a more stripped-down version allowed me to make something that feels emotionally raw.” Cutting away much of the original’s characteristic 1980s clutter and drastically slowing down the delivery, the single does just that. Rachael Price’s vocals absolutely soar on this one, imbuing the slower-paced version of the song with dramatic peaks and valleys that bring it to a thrilling conclusion. The Judy Garland-esq melodrama sounds all the more believable. In July, she covered Manchester Orchestra’s “The Gold,” and she’s also covered both (Sandy) Alex G’s “Powerful Man” and McCarthy Trenching’s “Christmas Song” with Jackson Browne.

Where the original’s finale seems hopeful that maybe, just maybe, Hutchison’s ex will give him one more chance (“You should sit with me and we’ll start again / And you can tell me all about what you did today”), Baker’s version knows the answer and you can hear it in her voice, distant and longing.

Also included in the track: a sweet and subtle transition into “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” —Alexa Carrasco, Creative covers have long been a big part of Lake Street Dive’s identity as a band, from the days when they were simply performing at open mics and bars in the Boston area, to their current national prominence, which they still usually punctuate with costume party covers of their favorite bands every Halloween.

Her latest 7-inch was a throwback of sorts, with the A-side, “Henry,” coming from Allison’s 2016 release For Young Hearts and the B-side pulled directly from 1984: a beautifully reimagined version of Bruce Springsteen’s hit “I’m On Fire.” “I wanted to make a version of ‘I’m On Fire’ that connected with the sadness of the song,” Allison says.

Aretha Franklin: “Rolling In The Deep” (Adele), 20. Charles Bradley: “Changes” (Black Sabbath). “Up All Night” – Drake 73. That shocked me; Bradley’s version feels like an original, a touching ode to loss and regret that the Screaming Eagle of Soul made every bit his own. Maria McAteer’s gorgeous piano ballad carries no such chip on its shoulder. Rihanna: “Same Ol’ Mistakes” (Tame Impala), 6. Ocean offers a smooth R&B take on the track, which was originally done acoustically, but he preserves the minimal, intimate quality of the song’s instrumentation while experimenting with the layering of his rich, soulful vocals. Frank Ocean: “Moon River” (Henry Mancini). Liam Clancy may have died last year, but Erland and the Carnival carry the Irish folk torch high (despite being, technically, from London).

Some of their most popular and frequently performed covers, including George Michael’s “Faith” or Hall & Oates’ “Rich Girl,” can be found on 2012 covers EP Fun Machine, but it’s the same recording’s take on The Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back” that catapulted Lake Street Dive to an entirely different platform of exposure.

The standout track may have been made even better in Misty’s more-than-capable hands. —Steven Edelstone, Along with a joint show at the famed Sydney Opera House, Kevin Morby and Waxahatchee recorded a cover of Bob Dylan’s “It Ain’t Me Babe,” from his 1964 album Another Side of Bob Dylan, in 2018. After recording a seven-inch of Jason Molina covers together and Morby’s appearance in Waxahatchee’s “Chapel of Pines” video , the two could be the next mighty folk duo—maybe they’ll even follow Phoebe Bridgers and Conor Oberst’s lead in making a collaborative album full of touching folk-rock ruminations? 71.
