maintenant, j'étudie pour mon examen de français et je m'ennuie! ainsi, j'ai décidé d'écrire un blog!
[ TRANSLATION: Right now, I'm studying for my french exam and I'm bored! Therefore, I decided to write a blog! ]
Aside from remixes, mashups and downright awesome music, I generally have a thing for covers. Usually, though, I can decide whether or not I like the remake or the original better.
Enter: Cobrastyle.
The original was sung by a Swedish group called the Teddybears. It was featured in some tv commercial and it caught my eye, so I proceeded to download it about 3 years ago. So the song has been playing on my ipod for a while now and I've been grooving to it.
Last week, I went home, and my little sister had loaded up our itunes with a bunch of new songs. One being a cover of Cobrastyle by Robyn, also a Swedish artist. She is known for provocative songs such as "Konitchiwa Bitches" (a personal classic fave for me). Her style of music is definitely unique, she's a semi-rapper singer with sassy lyrics and a weird, but intriguing accent (she tries to sound American but you can still hear traces of her Swedish accent). Her cover is, just (?) as good...I think.
