Birmingham musician, SAER, shared his dark-pop cover of The Police's "Walking On The Moon", and boy we're addicted to it. SAER has well over 100k streams on Spotify and after giving this track a listen it's rather obvious why.
It's lovely when a classic gets a cover made, but it's always so much better when it's given a new lease of life and a shift in genres.
The dark-pop take on the 1979 classic is fantastic and has a fantastic mood surrounding it. His vocals are just as good as Sting's, with the same sort of gravitas giving it that soaring feel to it. The track is laced with some atmospheric moments with string sections and a piano giving it a real twist.
