Looking for some covers of popular songs especially anything from the 80s or 90s that's been redone today into a hard rock or metal version. Bonus if it's a female vocalist

But I'm open to anything if the covers good or better than the original

I never found a metal rendition of a 'softer' song that's better than the original so I got nothing on that.

But here's few of some artis I follow.

Eleanor Rigby - Josh Turner I think most of the song he cover is old (idk I don't really listen to classic song). But good lord, he's talented af.

Jack Conte (CEO of Patreon) are on both of these. Pomplamoose is his band with his wife Nataly Dawn.

Scary pockets brings different singer (and other instrument) each song, mostly funk forward.

Pomplamoose - Mr Blue Sky

Just the 2 of us - Scary Pockets

If you like those two, you probably also like Lawrence

This is just straight up jazz but they're super good. Young Original - Its a lovely day today
