El Perro Del Mar :: “(At Your Best) You Are Love”
Posted by PJ in Random, The Yellow Stereo
Still catching up on a lot of things I’ve missed lately, and another to add to this ever-growing list is this recent 7″ split single from Lykke Li and El Perro Del Mar that was released for Record Store Day last month. It’s a set of covers that includes a cover of Wendy Rene’s “After Laughter (Comes Tears)” by Lykke Li and El Perro Del Mar covering Aaliyah’s cover of The Isley Brothers’ “(At Your Best) You Are Love.” I don’t think I’ve used the word “cover” so many times in one sentence.
Listening to the cover from Ms. Assbring, I realized that this could easily be mistaken for a top 40 pop song. You don’t often hear much praise for her vocal ability, and I think this cover shows how underrated she can be despite her knack for putting out great pop songs. Take a listen for yourself below, and here’s a video of both women performing “After Laughter (Comes Tears)” during one of La Blogothèque’s take away shows.
