Well.... you might have to listen to this to hear what I mean. There's a gorgeous transsexual singer/composer called Sopor Aeternus. Every so often, she does a cover version - and makes it utterly her own! This is her doing 'Holding Out for a Hero', originally by Bonnie Tyler. Think of the camp disco track, then listen to this....
I think Sopor's a hugely undervalued artist - hopefully after listening to this, you'll agree with me.
She's also got a wonderful, totally deadpan sense of humor going through everything she does! I've met her a few times, guess I'm biased. Love to know what you think.
Yours respectfully
Chris.
