Cover of the day: Disclosure ft Sam Smith – Hotline Bling

You can always count on BBC’s live lounge series to produce quality covers. Even the most hater of haters cannot deny that Drake’s Hotline Bling has slowly but surely taken over our world. I can’t even remember the last time that song wasn’t in my head at some point of the day.

As you would expect with such a popular song, there have been a lot of covers ranging from goofy (see Sufjan) to downright good (see alessia cara)

You could chalk this attempt in the latter category. it seems Disclosure can do no wrong these days and they pair up with their ole steady, Sam Smith to come up with this disco summer version of Hotline Bling.

While this cover doesn’t redefine or reimagine the track in anyway, it does feature Sam Smith’s strong vocal work with some house beats. the results seem prime for the dance floor, not that you wouldn’t dance for the original anyway. Check it out regardless:
