Today’s Playlist – Someone That I Used To Know  (Gotye Cover)

 

So one of the things I love about Jay is his willingness to explore his own spin on someone else’s work. He did with Nicki Manaj’s Super Bass. Which was really quite cool (even if I am not a Manaj fan I got what he was going for).

So here he goes with a huge hit from that seemingly one-hit wonder (did he ever have another hit? I can’t recall)  Gotye. Personally, I sort of like his version better. He ended up recording it on his Around the World in Eighty Jays album. It was actually my favorite on that album. Not that the original wasn’t good. It definitely has a hell of a hook. It’s infectious, it’s got a good beat (I’ll refrain from saying and it’s easy to dance to – apologies to Dick Clark) and instantly memorable.

Yet, under Jay’s capable hands it sort of takes on a new life. More reflective (which I guess was the point).

He’s done a few of these covers. This one is definitely one of my favorites.

So I’ll stop blabbing about it. Just sit back and let the guy do what he does best… create a little magic all his own.

 


 

The Always, Then & Now Tour…

Please check out his site with links for his upcoming shows. I am definitely a late comer to the Brannan bandwagon whenever he pulls through my city. But now that I am going this year, I am making it a goal never to miss when he swings through town. I hope you take advantage of the opportunity as well. Also be sure to check out his web store at the following link.
