Doing a cover is always risky as an artist, especially if you're just starting out. It's easy to completely ruin songs that have become classics over the years, but making a cover your own is the hard part. And that's where Pia Mia did it right! I have already written about her a couple of times and now the 18-year old has proven that my gut was right on the money. She originally became famous by doing covers on Youtube, but this one is exceptionally well done. The Guam born songstress has tackled one of my favourite classics of all time : "Fill Me In" by Craig David. (I recently blogged about it in a Throwback Thursday post, check it out here) She didn't do this alone though, she received some help by teen heartthrob Austin Mahone and this combo works like a charm. The cover sounds nothing like the original, but showcases that Pia Mia is maturing more and more when it comes to her music. Both vocals are on point and the production is superslick. Yes, major kudos to her, because this is one killer cover. Craig David would love this, I'm sure! Listen below. |
