I'm riding a recent Fun. obsession lately. Blame their cover of "Somebody That I Used To Know" with Hayley Williams that is ahh-mazing. But no, this post does not involve one of their songs. Well, it does, but it's covered by electro/dance duo Telephoned (who I will always be a forever fan of). They bring "We Are Young" from a melancholy indie-alt number to an electropop track. And if you're willing to bridge genres or jump between them all together, you're good in my book.
Telephoned's "We Are Young" relies heavily on the electronic side of their cover, letting the lyrics you know and love take a backseat, though they're prone to backseat driving. You get the classic tonight we are young, so let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter than the sun and carry me home tonight, and that's really all you need. It's a cover, after all. You still have to make it your own, and that's exactly what Telephoned does with their electro beeps and beats and Maggie Horn's lovely vocals. Miss this cover at your own risk.
