Anyone who knows “Kiss From A Rose” knows Seal’s place in 90s music canon. Brooklyn band Yeasayer stopped by an Australian radio station a couple days ago to premiere a cover of his 1990 hit “Crazy”, and damn it’s good.
The trade-off of earthy tamborine and carefree guitar for the original’s outdated jazz-synth beats legitimizes Seal’s lyrics with vocals that are pretty flawless, revealing a rather thoughtful song. Their version brings the previously overshadowed verses to the forefront and gets the most out of lines like “miracles will happen as we trip”. Last album Odd Blood was known more for its psych-pop tendencies, but here’s to hoping it’s a sign their next album might be rooted more in the acoustics. They’ll be playing at The Music Box on May 24, but check out their website for all other tour dates. Song posted below, but be prepared to feel recklessly good.
