A contemporary twist on Frank Sinatra
Frank Sinatra is the epitome of classic cool. He is practically a genre within himself, and the famous singer and actor´s overwhelming fame and popularity have withstood time and inspired even current day musicians.
As a tribute to the musical monument that is Frank Sinatra´s career, Apple put together a project by the name of His way, Our way which was released exclusively for download this past Monday on iTunes. The collection consists of 13 different extremely of the moment artists offering their own vocal talents to their favorite Sinatra singles.
One of the featured artists happens to be Maroon 5, whose frontman Adam Levine confessed to Rolling Stone that he was ¨terrified¨ to take on The Voice. He goes on to admit being a massive Sinatra fan, describing the legend as ¨truly unique… He was just one of these rough, no bullshit, excellent guys, and was spot-on every time he got onstage and started singing. He commanded everyone’s attention and that’s the kind of stuff I love.¨
As timid as he was, Levine was equally eager to take on the callenge of laying down his own sound for The way you look tonight. The version is smooth and classy, completely faithful to the feel of Sinatra and available for free streaming this week on Entertainment Weekly´s website.
Other contemporary artists Apple rounded up range from, among others, the angelic sound of A Fine Frenzy on the single The Things We Did Last Summer, a surprising Seether rendition of I´ve got you under my skin, and The Kills very chill Willow Weep For Me.
Red Karaoke is no stranger to new renditions of Frank Sinatra, one of the top artists here on our site. Check out all of the Frank Sinatra karaokes we have and lay down your own vocals to one of his classics.
