School of Seven Bells – How To Love (Lil Wayne Cover)

The best covers are usually the ones that no one expects. Surely, pequeño Wayne has brought inspiration to many but I would have never pictured the beloved American indie duo School of Seven Bells, responsible for an eclectic array of soft pop tunes, to cover such a song. Yet after first listen, it comes at no surprise. Lil Wayne’s “How to Love”, released as the third single from his ninth studio album, Tha Carter IV is turned completely upside its head surrounded by a richer instrumentation of elongated notes with Alejandra Deheza beautiful voice piercing through. “How To Love” was a 2011 classic and School of Seven Bells delicately updated it for modern consumption. Enjoy!

[HOT] The Kills – Dreams (Fleetwood Mac Cover)

the kills - dreams

We’ve heard so much about this upcoming Fleetwood Mac tribute record that we’re absolutely desperate for it to drop. The fact that bluesy rock duo The Kills are also featured on this album has Meade us even more excited. Their cover of ‘Dreams’ – one of FM’s best-known tracks – is a sensual yet gritty take on the song which allows the band to make it their own. We reckon ‘Dreams”ll be one of the highlights of the record, which is out on August 14.
