Best Cover of 2010?

December 21, 2010

Corinne Bailey Rae takes a unique approach to this classic Bob Marley song, blending jazz rhythms and syncopation with her outstanding vocal range. This could very well be the best cover of the year.

Corinne Bailey Rae – Is This Love (Bob Marley Cover)

Here are a few other great covers from 2010…

Mumford & Sons – Wagon Wheel (Old Crow Medicine Show Cover)

The Tallest Man On Earth – Graceland (Paul Simon Cover)

Jonsi – Time To Pretend (MGMT Cover)


Jónsi (yes, the dude from sigur rós)

What is the perfect remedy for spring break woes? Yup, new tracks from our favorite Icelandic singer/songwriter Jónsi. (Actually, my second favorite Icelandic behind Coach Wolf Stansson, anybody with me?)

Jónsi is slated to release his new solo album ‘Go‘ on April 6th in the states. So far a couple of songs have leaked to the blogs, and they are awesome. Even better, they are sung in English (score!).

On top of that, Jónsi will be stopping in Philly at the Electric Factory on May 3rd as part of his North American Tour. Despite the start of finals, TF will most definitely be attending.

Check these and keep an eye out for more:

Jónsi – Tornado

Jónsi – Go Do

Jónsi – Boy Lilikoi
