Safe is a good word to describe it. Predictably I like the songs I know least over the songs I know well. Losing You is a miss for me. Strong sounds lovely but it doesn’t change the original and you can’t top the original, without that voice. It just sounds like a nice live lounge attempt, nothing more
Missing I like, but something tells me it’s just because of the strength of such a monumental song that I quite like hearing a different take on it. But I’m a bit disappointed that he stripped the moodiness out of it, which suits the lyrics so much better. Plus trying to replace Tracey Thorns vocal delivery on such a heavy, emotional song is never going to be easy.
I think he did a great job with Elizabeth Taylor, but I love the original far too much to give that more than a couple of listens.
I like the Sky Ferreira and Lykke Li covers, but at the moment Daniel and the title track remain the best efforts wasily
