大家好呀！
今天是周五啦，按照之前的惯例，有时候我会扒一些美剧的歌单，不过今天有点特别，我们来聊聊翻唱cover songs
许多同学下载音乐的时候一般是搜索“歌曲名称”，看对应“演唱者”，然后再下载。但是小刘在之前探索了一下许许多多的翻唱版本的歌曲，没想到也很好听！翻唱不仅仅是模仿，也许还有再创作的成分，让原来的歌曲有了新的风格和感觉：当一张摇滚专辑改编成了钢琴伴奏的版本会是怎么样？当霉霉的热门单曲被钢琴和鼓点赋予复古的魅力会是怎么样？当一整年的歌曲串在一起改编会是怎么样？
今天小刘在自己喜欢的一些风格独特的翻唱歌手和组合中选取5个为大家做一些介绍，并附上相应的语料哦！大家在网易云音乐或者QQ音乐搜索这些名字就可以听他们的翻唱啦！
