A few weeks ago there was a post asking for suggestions for female fronted heavy music and I was really grateful to OP for starting the conversation and everyone in the comments for coming up with really great suggestions.
I’m wondering if we could have a similar discussion to share more mellow covers of heavier songs. Usually when I’m working I prefer listening to less intense songs and a chill cover of a heavy song I like is somehow very interesting to me.
The song that got me wanting more of this niche was a cover of Toxicity which I’ve had on repeat this week. I can also think of this cover of Seven Nation Army which is kind of similar as an example but I don’t really know a lot more like this.
Does anyone have any similar recommendations they enjoy?
Edit: All great suggestions so far, still working my way through them! I remembered another song which is this cover of Firestarter by The Prodigy
That particular video wasn’t loading so I had to watch it on YouTube but I’m happy there are still working Invidious instances, I didn’t realise that was the case! Other videos loaded for me on there just fine. The cover was great too, I saw she also has a cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit which was also good!
You can switch backends if one isn’t working for you.
As for Tori Amos, this cover is off her Strange Little Girls album, a cover-only album she released in 2001. I’ve read it’s a bit inconsistent though.
