Truly gifted musicians, when covering a well-recognized hit song by another artist, reimagine and rearrange the track to make it their own. They inhabit the song so deeply that, if you didn't know better, you’d swear their version is the original. We feature here Melody Angel giving a virtual master class on the art of the cover song.
Angel, a Chicago-based singer/songwriter and guitarist now at work on her first album, expertly changes up the tempo and vibe on Janet Jackson’s “That’s The Way Love Goes” until it becomes a bluesy folk ballad all her own. Her vocal on the track is simply breathtaking and must be heard. We somehow missed Angel uploading this gem to YouTube 2 years ago, but we’re glad we found it for you now. Enjoy.
