Newton Faulkner - Teardrop (Massive Attack cover)
It’s a tall order trying to creatively and respectfully cover an MA track, let alone one their best and most recognizable. The seminal British trip-hop band has long been heralded, so attempts at recreating any of their genius would obviously be considered futile.
Faulkner pulls it off though - and in my opinion with great aplomb [yes I went there]. The dreadlocked-Brit is poised to make impression on ladies everywhere. Have a listen and let me know what yout think. Play or Pass? Oh and make sure you ratchet up the drop at 1:35.
Maybe the most commercially known MA song (theme song to Fox’s hit House), Teardrop is brought to life through this minimalist performance initially, in the same vein of the original, then really comes to life nicely.
Awesome find Tuneage.
