If mimicry is the highest form of flattery, covering a song is the musical equivalent. Not all songs should be covered, but there is something interesting and satisfying about hearing a new take on a song you love.
This is one of my favorite songs by an amazing songwriter:
"Lioness: Hidden Treasures" is a record of many covers by Amy Winehouse, posthumously released back in December. In the 2011 version of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" Amy uses her unique voice to infuse this classic standard with vulnerability and strength: roughness and purity.
