ASSIGNMENT 6 GLOBAL TRENDS

Cover Songs

Cover songs has been in trends all over the world since a very long time. Cover of songs basically means to create our version of a certain song by singing and playing the instruments in a way that we want to. It doesn't mean that people are trying to disrespect the original version of the song or make fun of the original artists in any way. It simple means to experiment. There is nothing wrong in experimenting with songs created by other artists. This trend has made a huge difference in the music industry as it has become very popular. In popular music, a cover version, cover song, or simply cover basically means a new performance or recording by someone other than original artists or composer of a previously recorded, commercially released song. 

There are plenty of cover artists on YouTube. Some of them are Madilyn Bailey, Kurt Hugo Schneider, Conor Maynard, William Singe, Kina Grannis, TheSamTsui, Alex Aiono and many more. My all time favorite cover song artist is Boyce Avenue.

Boyce Avenue is an American rock band formed in Sarasota, Florida, by brothers Alejandro Luis Manzano, Daniel Enrique Manzano, and Fabian Rafael Manzano. The band is names after a combination of two streets the brothers lived on as children. They started their journey since 2004 and are still active doing their thing. Along with the cover songs they also do collaborations with other YouTube artists such as Hannah Trigwell, Kina Grannis, Tiffany Alvord, Megan Nicole,Alex Goot, etc. 

I literally have been following Boyce Avenue since a very long time. I was already aware of them when I was back home. My sister, brothers and some of my friends were also well aware of them and would listen to them. Boyce Avenue is undoubtedly one of the best band mainly for their cover songs and collaboration with other artists.
