Teases & Dares’ Covers Round Up featuring: Sally Shapiro (Pet Shop Boys), Munya (New Order), Saucy Lady (Carly Simon) and Great Good Fine OK (Taylor Swift)

9 Sep

A smattering of quality new releases this week prompted us to share another covers round up with you. We think these 4 re-interpretations are all worth a listen in their own right and are delivered via artists previously featured on T&D.

First up on Italians Do It Better records, our dear Sally Shapiro share a twinkling cover of Pet Shop Boys’ ‘Rent’. It feels a very natural choice of cover for the duo and it’s simply perfect.

We have Munya’s ‘Jardin’ album on pre-order and the excitement ramps up with each new single dropped. Her take on New Order’s ‘Bizarre Love Traingle’ starts off with sparse beats akin to Timbaland/Nelly Furtado before blooming into her usual warm, soft synth loveliness.

Carly Simon’s ‘Why’ seems a popular choice to cover (including by T&D Hall Of Famer Holiday Sidewinder). Saucy Lady adds her trademark 80s electro funk meets City Pop luxury vibes to it and it slinks along deliciously.

Last up Great Good Fine OK take Tay Tay’s ‘Midnight Rain’ and morph it into a yachtpop poolside bop.

We hope you find something to enjoy amongst this latest batch.
