Why do we like this?

Who's up for a folk-inspired cover of a Drake single? These types of releases seem to be trending quite a bit in the past year, but there's not doubt that Ottawa's singer/songwriter Kalle Mattson has produced a truly remarkable transformation of "Hotline Bling."

To be fair, I hadn't even heard the original before (and I'm pretty certain I never will), but there's something so intriguing about hip-hop lyricism being performed and adapted to a folk styling that is so delicate and profound as Kalle. 

It will be interesting to see what this youngster comes up with next!

By Jason Grishkoff on Apr 26, 2010 | I never understood this song. Not the original, when every person, ever, was raving about The Knife and that amazing album (and I thought it merely interesting, alien lanscapes of gothic electronica pop). I didn't understand it when this cover became... read more →
