Cover Up

I’m a big fan of Paolo Nutini since the release of his second album. To be honest I enjoyed some of his first album but I do think it was down to my age at the time but nevertheless the chorus-heavy catchy songs were on my old 3rd generation iPod for a good while. I’m hopefully going to catch him at the Royal Albert Hall in April and, I really hope I hear this brilliant Arcade Fire cover of Wake Up.

Another interesting cover but not as strong in my opinion is by Ellie Goulding whose certainly not shy of trying her hand at a range of covers including Bon Iver’s The Wolves (Act I & II) and Passion Pit’s Sleepyhead. She covers Temper Traps Sweet Disposition recorded from a gig and it’s good enough to make it on Mahogany but it’s by no means a desert island disc.
