Just weeks after Daniel Johns delivered a down-tempo rendition of Nirvana classic ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, Tori Amos has gone down a similar path with the definitive grunge anthem.
Both covers are driven by haunting piano keys, Amos’ take is a little more pensive, lending her iconic voice to capture the dreary energy of the original with success. We’re sure that some die-hard Nirvana fans will find the lack of crushing riffs sacrilegious, but it’s still pretty enjoyable on our ears.
