Deezer has released InVersions ’80s, a brand new Originals album in which alternative artists take on ’80s classics in their own style.
The compilation is available exclusively from today (May 25) on the music streaming service.
For the latest edition of InVersions, Wolf Alice have put a modern guitar-fuzz spin on Roxy Music’s More Than This; Holly Humberstone contributes a tender reworking of Prince’s I Would Die 4 U; and Laura Mvula reinterprets Toto’s Africa.
“’80s music is seeing a resurgence like never before, with a whole new generation of fans embracing the sounds of this unique decade,” said Nigel Harding, Deezer’s VP of global artist marketing. “So it felt completely natural to invite today’s emerging musical stars to put a modern spin on their favorite ’80s anthems, and the results are like hearing them all again for the first time. Just like our last InVersions project, which saw a growth in streams of over 200% for some of our featured artists, I’m confident music fans from all over the world will love this new Originals album.”
