In the wrong hands a cover Beyoncé's "Crazy In Love" could result in a tragedy reserved for the deepest annals of music online. Thankfully, in the capable talents of Canadian singer and musician Mélissa Laveaux the song sounds really unlike itself in a totally refreshing way. Re-imagined by Mocky, even the most recognizable elements of the song are unexpected. At times Laveaux sounds like a less manic Macy Gray only to shed that comparison in her delicate harmonies and intonations moments later. She flits through the lyrics in a way that gives them a different life than the backdrop to booty-shaking the original provided. A wonderful cover.
