Halsey covers Justin Bieber ‘Love Yourself’ for Like A Version

“Love Yourself” is a pretty inescapable song that’s still popular even long after its release. Halsey gives a fresh take on the Biebs’ big hit with her unique, ethereal vocals. The instrumentation of the cover is soft and subdued while remaining different from the original’s acoustic pop vibe. It’s a warm, cozy cover of an already memorable song. 

Lorde – Cover of “Solo” by Frank Ocean

Lorde – Solo (Frank Ocean Cover) (Melodrama World Tour, Vancouver)

One of the best parts of Lorde’s Melodrama World Tour was the various covers she performed, one at each concert. It’s hard to pick one that’s the best, but this Frank Ocean cover exemplifies why Lorde’s covers have been so good in the first place. It’s an extremely stripped down version of an already great song. Just the piano and Lorde’s vocals – the cover showcases the raw power of her voice. Fans of Melodrama will hear in this cover how songs like this influenced the album.

Khalid – Cover of “Love Galore/The Weekend” by SZA

Khalid covers Love Galore by SZA

Khalid and SZA are both popular, young, and creative artists right now, which is part of what makes this short cover so great. The interpretation is drastically different from the original versions of both songs. While SZA’s are a smooth, electronic-driven experience, Khalid’s only accompaniment is an acoustic guitar. This gives it a singer-songwriter, coffee shop type of vibe. Khalid’s fusion of two of SZA’s most popular songs (including her most recognizable lyric, “you’re like nine to five; I’m the weekend”) is innovative and fun.
