Discovery – So Insane/I Want You Back (Jackson 5 Cover)

Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2011, or our Best Albums of 2011.

As you all know, today is Cover Tuesday, so I couldn’t post about Discovery without sharing their cover of the Motown classic “I Want You Back.” While fans of the Jackson 5 original might be disgusted by Discovery’s over-the-top robotic rendition, I applaud Discovery for their ballsy move.

Discovery’s “I Want You Back” is like Warhol’s “Double Mona Lisa,” a modern recreation of timeless classic that, instead of vandalizing the artwork, it shows us a new, exciting side that otherwise we would have never seen.

The whole album is great! There’s another song – Swing Tree – that you can stream off their Web site (http://www.dscvry.net/). Can’t wait till the album comes out in July!
