Sunflower Bean: “Harvest Moon” (Neil Young) I’m With Her’s bluegrass instruments and three-part harmonies don’t just freshen the tune-they transform it into something new entirely. It’s as if Ezra Koenig wrote the song six years ago in the hopes that it would someday be covered by three women at a hootenanny.
If “Hannah Hunt” is the best Vampire Weekend song of them all (and I will argue that until the day I die), then surely I’m With Her’s marvelous take on the track is the best cover of a Vampire Weekend song ever rendered?! Perhaps not, but the folk supergroup’s Spotify Singles version of the already-stellar track from Vampire Weekend’s 2013 album, Modern Vampires of the City, is immaculate. I’m With Her: “Hannah Hunt” (Vampire Weekend) Listen to our Best Cover Songs of the 2010s playlist on Spotify right here. Here are the best cover songs of the 2010s. These artists refreshed and revived songs that didn’t even need improvement-yet, it’s like hearing these tunes for the very first time. A great band or artist forces us to hear the song in a new way. A competent artist gives the song new life while still respecting the original recording. The rendition must succeed while resembling the original-to a reasonable degree-and also incorporating new elements that make it different. There’s an art to pulling off a good cover song.
