We love Synth Pop covers
An extensive overview you shouldn't miss if you love Synth Pop covers
Either you hate or love cover versions. According to my life experience I have only come across these two opinions about cover versions. Our point of view on the topic is no longer a spoiler after this page title. Yes, we love cover versions, especially Synth Pop cover versions. And for the full "Inception" experience: We adore Synth Pop cover versions of Synth Pop songs!
What makes a good Synth Pop cover? Also here the opinions are controversial. Personally I think, to play a good song as close to the original as possible is pointless. Why should I listen to a 1:1 copy when I can also listen to the original? A good cover should be independent. No, it must even shine through its independence. The band or the artist must be able to breathe new life into the song. Be it through a new instrumentation, a different style, a different tempo and of course the own musical DNA.
A cover version is to be understood as a kind of love letter to the original author and should be gratefully received as such. With this page we would like to honour all the bands and artists, who in turn honour their favourite band and artists with their cover versions and thus pay tribute. Maybe that's why they started with music themselves. Therefore we have put together a small overview with music videos, our tribute compilations and a big Spotify Playlist on this topic.
Music videos of cover versions
Most visitors of Electrozombies already know that music videos are very close to our hearts. However, very few visitors use the tags to access a genre-specific archive page to browse through. In general we use tags to roughly classify the music genre. Good to know: We made an exception with the tag "Cover Version", which shows you all music videos that are a cover version. Just browse through and discover new versions of your favourite songs.
Tribute compilations by Electrozombies
We at Electrozombies want to promote the production of Synth Pop cover songs and regularly invite to participate to our tribute compilations. This has resulted in hundreds of fantastic songs that would probably never have seen the light of day otherwise. We would like to do more tribute compilations in the future. Maybe not only tributes to a band or artist, but also to a theme or concept. If you would like to be notified when a new tribute compilation is planned, just send us a short e-mail and we will add you to our mailing list.
