Acoustic covers of popular songs are addicting to some music enthusiasts. Maybe it’s hearing a different take on the song, or maybe it’s hearing the emotion in someone’s voice. With a quiet tone, just subtle enough to complement the lyrics, you can truly hear one’s vocal talent.
There a few ways in which acoustic covers come to us, delivering awesomeness to our waiting ears. There are ridiculously remarkable covers of originals, as released by the artist, or we hear new artists covering our favorite songs. Then of course, you have your silly, off-the-wall covers! They’re all awesome in their own way so check out our three lists below.
Our favorite is Bruce Springsteen covering Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair”. Let us know what yours is, in the comments section below!
