Robyn has become known for her “sad bangers”, because she often manages to pack contrasting moods into a single song. Listening to a favourite song in a different guise taps into alternative emotions.Ĭross-genre covers are the best for this, where artists and styles are completely juxtaposed, and each version becomes a go-to pick for certain moods. You can wear it pop or jazz or dance or rock’n’roll. They turn a song inside out in the manner of a reversible jacket: same structure, but something entirely fresh. However, good covers are truly transformative. Or the instrumental “samba” covers of chart toppers that play in coffee shops, on repeat.
Horrid ones include mediocre guys playing acoustic guitars, wearing waistcoats over T-shirts, butchering every song released in the last three decades.
C over versions are like white wines: they’re either very good or horrid.
