Vile recorded the cover on tour with the Violators a few years ago and finally mixed the track during the pandemic. It just has an effect on you that you can’t even necessarily detect at the moment.” When you hear music like that, so organic and raw, but you know, so confident, all those things combined, so cool. The first time I heard them, I’m sure I was probably stoned.
“Lou Reed/the Velvet Underground were probably my earliest classic rock influence,” Vile tells Rolling Stone. Now, he’s contributing a new take - with his band the Violators - to I’ll Be Your Mirror: A Tribute to the Velvet Underground & Nico, out September 24th via Vile’s new label Verve Records. Their harmonies and clever idea make for a refreshingly unique cover.Kurt Vile first covered the Velvet Underground’s “Run Run Run” when he was 18 at a show in Landsdowne, Pennsylvania - complete with “take a drag or two” subbed out for the local crowd-pleasing “Landsdowne Avenue.” He then performed it with the Velvets’ John Cale in 2017 in honor of the 50th anniversary of The Velvet Underground & Nico. He joins with singers Madilyn Bailey, Alex G, and Kurt Schneider to play a game of patty cake in the park, and they use the beat from this popular children's game as accompaniment to their voices! Last year, we told you about how the brilliant Sam Tsui created a genius mash-up of literally every single song on Adele's 25 album now Sam is back with another brilliant Adele cover, this time create an a capella version of the hit song "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)."īut Sam doesn't just sing "Send My Love" in this cover. Out of all of Adele's fans around the world, there's one fan whose love for Adele benefits us all: singer and YouTube sensation Sam Tsui. Remember the time she invited a 12-year-old fan with autism onto the stage at her concert and gave her the microphone and the spotlight? Or how about the time she pulled a couple onstage after they got engaged during her performance of "To Make You Feel My Love?" Who doesn't love Adele? Not only is she a phenomenal vocalist, she's an amazing person.
