One of the best things about music is experiencing various artists' renditions of the same song. Who knew that "Wrecking Ball" could work as a metalcore track, or that Fred Durst could turn George Michael's "Faith" into a grungy rap song?
Covers are great because they can make songs feel entirely new. The words might be the same, but the instruments, notes, beat, cadence, and rhythm may be completely different. Sometimes the differences make the song better; sometimes they make songs worse. Either way, cover songs are an adventure.
Although the covers in this playlist are fun to jam to in any situation, we think they're extra awesome because they also work as excellent workout tunes.
So pop in your headphones and enjoy these cover songs as you train to build your best self!
