Joe's cover of Ellie Goulding's newest single 'Figure 8' is an amazingly unique cover. It is totally different from the original song, it is all played with instruments in Joe's version rather than singing to a backing track. Just the way he sings it alone is so good, you can really tell he has a really good set of vocals from the way he sings the song and means every word.
With the song being played in a totally different way with a band and guitars, it gives the whole song a totally different feel. From Joe's cover, I can really get a vibe that it could be him singing to that one special person just from the way he sings the lyrics and makes specific words extra meaningful by putting more energy into making the song sound meaningful and loving.
Whereas Ellie Goulding's original you could listen to whilst getting ready for a night out, or maybe just chilling out doing coursework. I just love this cover of Figure 8 - it is an amazing song and Joe's cover just makes it even more amazing. This is something I especially love; when an artist can take a song and make it there own, and that is exactly what Joe has done here, well done Joe!
