Alex & Sierra Release Surprising Cover of The Darkness' "I Believe In A Thing Called Love": Listen
Shocker! I have never ever heard this song sound like this. Pop duo Alex and Sierra released via SoundCloud tonight (Nov. 26) an acoustic cover of The Darkness’ 2003 hit “I Believe in a Thing Called Love”. Don’t remember it? Just click on the YouTube video below and right when that legendary chorus hits in you will remember.
Since Columbia/Syco have pretty much abandoned Alex and Sierra and aren’t promoting their “It’s About Us” debut LP anymore, the real-life couple has been forced to take control of the wheel of their career; trying not to fully disconnect with their remaining fans. That’s why a SUPERB cover like this of “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” is just perfect to re-gain some attention.
“I Believe in a Thing Called Love” cover review
Stunning! Alex and Sierra came up with the new arrangement and their vocals are just terrific. I repeat: I have never heard “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” sound like this. Alex and Sierra deserve major kudos for this surprising cover. They've turned The Darkness hit into a ballad, and a very beautiful one. In 2003, “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” was released a sort of fun, care-free and quirky rock song but Alex and Sierra have totally pulled a twist on this by giving the lyrics of the song more meaning by singing it so emotionally and tenderly in acoustic mode. I’m just happily surprised by this. Can Columbia/Syco please throw them back into studio and work on a “It’s About Us” re-release? A&S’s talent is huge!!!
