@SkylarGrey’s Cover of Draft Punk’s Get Lucky


How many of you love @DraftPunk? I know I do, I am a huge fan! How unique is it that a new artist is covering a contemporary hit single? Personally, I was such a fan; I listen to it 3 times on YouTube before purchasing it on iTunes.

As MTV Buzzworthy Blog states, “Grey has been on her grind for a long time now and has worked with everyone from Diddy and Jay Z to T.I., Dr. Dre, and even Marilyn Manson. We last saw her goofing around with Eminem in her "C'mon Let Me Ride" video. Here, although she leaves much of the summer jam's swinging disco intact, Skylar does add in more sweeping electronic touches, upping the already pretty heavy robotic funk quotient considerably,” (http://buzzworthy.mtv.com/2013/09/27/skylar-grey-daft-punk-get-lucky-video/, O’Neil, L, 9/27/2013).

Agreeing with the MTV review, I believe that Grey was one of the most successful, hottest new recording artists of summer 2013. Do you think it is a smart move to have newer recording artists cover contemporary bands/singers? Is this an easier way to have quicker success?
