We receive many requests for premieres, and quite a few for cover songs as well. For us, the cover needs to be unique enough for us that we need to share it. Some of the best covers include keeping with the spirit of the original, but having the ability for the artist/band to shape it with their own, unique style […]

If you haven’t noticed, we love Triple J and we actually do cover a nice amount of artists from Australia and now we have another one.

We look forward to hearing more […]

It is no secret we love Melissa Nadler here at The Revue. She received a glowing review from us for last year’s release of July . She even made our list for the top 50 albums of last year as well. So it’s no surprise that today we share her hauntingly beautiful cover of Black Sabbath’s “Solitude“. It is so great it’s […]

Chandanie is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who is creating a melange of soul […]

It’s never easy covering a song by a legend like Johnny Cash. The rework of Johnny Cash’s “I Walk the Line” by Scott McFarnon is actually really good. Almost bringing in an R&B feel to it, McFarnon does bring a great version together and it’s also for a good cause. The single is promoting The Line London which is an art […]

  Maybe we should have saved this for our weekly CoverBack Thursday feature, but this one was too good to pass up. Released last week, Belfast, Ireland singer-songwriter Lilla Vargen‘s cover of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Don’t Forget Me” is absolutely stunning. Applying a folk-pop approach, Vargen’s piano-based version feels more vulnerable and tender than the original. The smokiness in […]
