Rock and roll just got a new anthem, courtesy of Natalie Jean and her powerhouse collective. They’ve just dropped a cover of “Creep” that’ll send shivers down your spine and make you rethink everything you know about cover songs.
Jean’s no newbie to rock music. A multi-award-winning artist with a knack for genre-bending, brings her trademark intensity to this Radiohead classic. With Billboard charting and two Gold Medals from the Global Music Awards under her belt, she’s no stranger to pushing the envelope. Her linguistic flex (she’s fluent in French, Spanish, English, and Haitian Creole) adds a whole new level of emotive depth to the track.
But Jean’s not flying solo on this one. She’s teamed up with some serious heavy hitters. Noshir Mody, a Grammy-nominated guitarist with roots in Mumbai, adds some killer guitar work that takes the song’s original melancholy and turns it into something way more complex. Then there’s Brian Sargent, a Berklee College of Music grad with over 25 years of production experience, who’s responsible for the sonic wizardry that makes this version truly stand out.
The addition of Grammy winner Kitt Wakeley adds another layer of production magic to this already killer lineup. Trust us, this isn’t your average cover – it’s a whole new musical beast. What makes this version so cool? It’s like they threw jazz, rock, and classical into a blender and hit ‘puree.’ The result? A totally mind-blowing sound. And Jean’s vocals? They’ll give you chills, capturing all the emotion of the original while putting her own spin on things.
This can’t be seen as an ordinary cover song out for display – it’s music with meaning. The track is about feeling lost, doubting yourself, and longing for something more. Every note, every word feels real and raw, like it’s coming straight from the soul. If you’re into alt-rock, indie vibes, or just love when musicians shake things up, you’ve got to give this version of “Creep” a listen. It shows that great tunes can cross any boundary, and that reimagining a classic can breathe new life into it. This is one ride from Natalie Jean you won’t want to skip. Trust us, and just listen.
