Your Cover's Blown: Alex Clare 'When Doves Cry' (Prince)

One of the most overlooked artists of 2011/12 is (undoubtedly in my mind) Alex Clare. You may know him as the feature artist on Rudimental's hit 'Not Giving In', also featuring John Newman.

There are so many excellent cover versions of Prince's 1984 hit When Doves Cry. I guess it's pretty easy to make another great version of an already existing classic.
Alex Clare's cover takes the track in a slightly different direction to all the others. Featuring on Clare's debut album The Lateness of the Hour, When Doves Cry is a contemporary dubstep remake showcasing the artists soulful vocals.

The Lateness of the Hour was an impressive debut for Alex Clare and I can't wait to hear what he's been working on since.
