Drawing inspiration from Pablo Picasso’s alluring portrait, this song off Panic! at the Disco’s 2011 album, “Vices and Virtues,” showcases frontman Brendon Urie’s thrilling vocals and lyrical abilities. The song grapples with the idea of masking one’s inner struggles — a concept mirrored by the heavy drumbeats that mask an lying piano melody. While I can listen to Urie on repeat 24/7, playing this track while exercising proves especially fruitful, due to its fast tempo and dramatic sound.
‘All My Love’
Compared to Camila Cabello’s performance of “Havana,” indie-pop group Superorganism’s cover of the award-winning song strips it of its Afro-Cuban influences, instead incorporating synth and unconventional sound bites. I discovered this cover while listening to the “Spotify Singles” playlist, a habit that has helped me discover countless new artists, and was instantly enraptured by the group’s nonchalant sound. Despite the stylistic changes, Superorganism’s cover is still suitable for dancing — I find myself bopping my head and tapping my foot whenever the song comes on my Spotify shuffle.
