Carolina Chocolate Drops’ take on Blu Cantrell’s “Hit ‘Em Up Style” transforms modern pop into a string-band jam with banjos and fiddles, tying it to their Piedmont roots. Prince’s “Fury” mixes acid rock and funk with blistering guitar but feels restrained, contrasting its live performances where his energy electrifies the track. Meanwhile, Tenacious D’s “Dude (I Totally Miss You)” walks the line between humor and heartfelt emotion, thriving in their animated live sets.
Beth Hart’s “Hiding Under Water” channels her raw blues-rock energy, with live renditions cutting deeper into her vulnerability. Robbie Williams’ “Monsoon” sits comfortably on “Escapology,” blending polished instrumentation with emotional volatility. PJ Harvey’s “The Sky Lit Up” sprints with controlled chaos, while George Benson and Al Jarreau’s “Summer Breeze” reimagines soft rock as jazzy sophistication, contrasting nostalgia with urbane warmth.
