Back in those days, they were one-half of a brother-sister synth duo known as The Knife, and in 2003, they broke out of their niche and attracted widespread acclaim and admiration with their eternal electropop anthem, today recognized as one of the most heartfelt songs of that decade-“Heartbeats”, the second single off their breakthrough album Deep Cuts. If I ever get around to doing album rankings, it’s going right on top of my list.īut for those of you who were around during the early 2000s blogosphere era, you might recognize that name, Karin Dreijer, because their solo work as Fever Ray is not the only thing they’re known for. They’ve been a pretty serious indie proposition for a while now, and their stock rose a great deal in 2023 after releasing their latest record, the critically acclaimed Radical Romantics, which got rave reviews and is honestly one of my favorite albums of the year so far. They’re an electronic experimental project fronted by singer-songwriter Karin Dreijer, and they’re known primarily for their eclectic influences and outrageous liveshows, which often involve Dreijer putting on visually appealing and eye-catching costumes, masks, face paint and body paint, if it weren’t already obvious from the clip I’ve shown you. This artist, if you’re not already familiar with them, is called Fever Ray. And fortunately for us, one of the hot new releases Pitchfork and all the other music mags are buzzing on about happens to touch on some prime Cover Me Badd material.

So these days, I’m really making an effort to scout new music. And because of that, I’m starting to worry that my age may be catching up to me. Because I’m employed now, I find myself having less time to keep up with new music, and I’m finding myself having to go out of my way to catch new artists more and more. Of course, just because we have all this new music coming out, doesn’t necessarily make listening to new music easy for me. Like I’ve said in previous articles, in a stunning reversal from previous musical trends where it seemed like the well of material was constantly drying up thanks to the streaming-induced splintering of our musical ecosystem, 2023 has proven to be an extremely lucrative year for big, attention-grabbing singles, not to mention a slew of budding, promising new artists who may yet have more hits to provide us. But now that I’m working and living in the city again, it feels like I’m slowly returning to the pre-pandemic mold I’m used to, which is doing wonders for my mental health personally.īut aside from the personal stuff, 2023 is proving to be a good year for music, too. I know for a lot of people, the pandemic was already winding down as early as late 2021 or early 2022, but quarantined online life persisted a bit longer for me personally because of the Bar exam, and because I had to move away from the city back to my home province, far away from most of my established pre-pandemic communities. First off, this year is probably where the pandemic ended for me personally. I know it’s too early to call, but 2023 is shaping up to be a good year for me in a lot of respects. I’m happy to say that 2023 is not one of those years.

Y’know, some years, I have a very difficult time maintaining this blog, either due to a lack of material or a lack of personal drive due to internal or external factors. Welcome back to Cover Me Badd, where we look at good covers, bad covers, and what makes them tick. “Keep me searching / For a heart of gold / You keep me searching / And I’m growing old”
