| Stacey - Build Me Up (Buttercup) |
Release Date: Out Now
Right, we’ve got to be careful
here. ‘Build Me Up (Buttercup)’ is a bloody classic song and one that I am fond
of belting out in the kitchen, whilst driving or at a wedding. So when Toronto’s
Stacey comes to the table with this cover version it makes me somewhat
sceptical before I listened to this. Now, fair enough, Stacey has gone for the
classic ‘strip it down and make it slow’ approach to cover versions which I’m
getting a little bored of these days but this is different. Stacey’s haunting
vocal and subversion of the melody makes this a tragic, forlorn love song and a
completely different mood to the original. As covers go, this is strikingly
original and will be a real Marmite tune for many people but I think Stacey
deserves huge credit for putting her enchanting slant on a Motown classic. Brave
but the gamble has paid off.
