Boyce Avenue & Kina Grannis - “Fast Car (Tracy Chapman cover)”

So when we decided to do Covers Week, I intended to stay away from YouTube covers because there’s a lot of people using it as an outlet to gain exposure these days and most of the time, the covers are not very good. This cover by Boyce Avenue and Kina Grannis arrived in our submissions box by way of my good friend Katie, and I have to say that it’s actually a pretty faithful take on the original track. Tracy Chapman performed this song alone, and this song in particular is instrumental to the female singer-songwriter movement. Boyce Avenue and Kina Grannis turn this into a really beautiful duet, and if you downloaded our Valentine’s Day 69 Love Songs mix, you’d know that I’m a sucker for a good duet.

This track was submitted by Katie, a girl I’ve known since I was eleven. She likes Tina Fey and has more creative bones in her hands than I have in my entire body. Get those submissions for Covers Week in!
