Your Cover's Blown: Summertime Saddness feat. Lana, Miley & Angel Haze

Lana Del Rey's Summertime Sadness has been taking over our airwaves recently, however what you are hearing is not the original album version. It is actually a remix by French house music DJ Cedric Gervais. This radio remix is a great version but I personally do prefer the pensive tempo of the original.

The music video for the California starlet's trip hop single is a sepia-toned tribute to a 'Romeo & Juliet' type tragedy. The clip was directed by Kyle Newman and features his wife, Hart Of Dixie star Jaime King. It revolves around the doomed relationship of King and Del Rey's characters as one attempts to live without the other. The cinematography is to die for. Dramatically inspiring and perfectly suited to the tragic tale.

Iggy Azalea's home girl Angel Haze lent her vocals to an acoustic version of the Born To Die single a few weeks back. Whilst it was great to hear something different from Haze I would have loved to see her add an element of her own signature style to the cover. After all the whole point of a cover is (or at least should be) to make it your own.



Yesterday for BBC1 in the UK, the most controversial celeb of the season Miss Miley Cyrus also covered the song. She truly did nail it. It's so easy to ignore the talent when distracted by the on (and off) stage antics of the singer. Yet Miley does continue to remind us that she can actually sing. I particularly love her rendition of the bridge at around the 3min mark. Check it out below. (Beware of wagging tongues).

Which version is your favourite? Original or Remix? Angel Haze or Miley Cyrus?
