Being a music listener these days, we are served with wide-range of music and various ways to access it - 8tracks, Youtube, or Spotify - it all depends with where you live and what music streaming application that is able to operate in your country.
In other way, it becomes easier for us to listen to more interpretations of a song from other musician or artist - not the original performer. Yesterday, we stumbled upon an NME's article of Chvrches' cover of Arctic Monkeys' "Do I Wanna Know?". Quoting NME, the Scottish trio performed it during Triple J's 'Like A Version'.
Frankly, we never heard any of Chvrches' song. Yep. We were, in a way, hadn't tried to listen to one or two tracks from 'em. That's why we have no idea what they sound alike - till we saw them playing this song. However, we were aware of them, some publications about them and the singer, Lauren Mayberry.
Our reaction? We like it, actually! Despite the familiar Arctic Monkeys' original heavy sound, our ears don't think Chvrches' version is ugly. We even had better understanding through Chvrches' version than Arctic Monkeys' (sorry, guys). NME also wrote Chvrches is "the latest act to cover an Arctic Monkeys song after Jagwar Ma, Katy B and Miley Cyrus in recent months."
Learning and listening to Chvrches' songs is definitely on our homework list for the following days.
