Take a jazz singer and let him have a go on Azealia Banks’ ‘212’
Jamie cullum did it first years ago with his cover of ‘Frontin’ by N*E*R*D, and it hasn’t really been done since. Then I see this cover by Wouter Hamel, a Dutch jazz/pop crossover artist. It felt a bit wrong but it comes out good in the end. I think…
