Angélique Kidjo and Buddy Guy's rendition of Hendrix's "Voodoo Child" blends Beninese vocal finesse with emotive guitar riffs, striking a balance between homage and cultural reinterpretation. Buddy's sharp solos and Angélique's intricate delivery occasionally clash, but the performance remains a bold cultural fusion. Meanwhile, Paul Simon's "Wristband" uses playful humor to dissect societal barriers, its live performances featuring acoustic flair merged with Clap Clap!'s electronic touches, adding depth to its restless energy.
Post Malone and the Red Hot Chili Peppers shook up genres at the Grammys, moving from intimate acoustic vibes of "Stay" to the funk-infused "Dark Necessities." Marianne Faithfull's 2013 live take on "Broken English" traded punk grit for melodic introspection, while Norah Jones, Willie Nelson, and Wynton Marsalis reimagined "You Are My Sunshine" with a jazz-country twist. Gregory Porter’s duet "Water Under Bridges" with Laura Mvula leaned into nostalgic elegance, though some spontaneity felt restrained in its polished delivery.
