A follow-up

After having dissed Sugababes' cover of Florence & the Machine's 'Rabbit Heart', I feel like I should mention this example where a pop act covers a less known band and actually succeeds. Solange Knowles, Beyoncé's sister, has recently covered Dirty Projectors' 'Stillness Is The Move'. 'Stilness...' is a fantastically fantastic track, one of the best I've heard this year and it is definitely an r'n'b track at heart, so this kinda ought to happen. And though the original is still superior, I don't think this cover is bad at all. It's good and it had to happen. Its weakness lays in the fact that it makes you want to go and listen to the original because it is that good bit better. So I think you should do so as well - and then you also have an excuse to watch the ridicously cool video.
