Tame Impala Offers A Delicate Cover Of Nelly Furtado’s Hit Song ‘Say It Right’

The band delivered the cover alongside performances of ‘Is It True’ and ‘Breathe Deeper,’ both from their 2020 ‘The Slow Rush’ album. …

Tame Impala began the year with his impressive album The Slow Rush — his first release in five years. Since then, the musician, real name Kevin Parker has delivered a number of covers and remixes, among them new versions of “Borderline” with Blood Orange, “Guilty Conscience” with 070 Shake, and more. He’s also covered Lady Gaga’s “Perfect Illusion,” which he helped-co-write, and John Lennon’s “Jealous Guy.” Now he’s added another cover to the list, jumping on BBC Radio 1 to show off his twist on Nelly Furtado’s 2006 hit “Say It Right.”

Parker takes the upbeat, Grammy-nominated track and strips it down, resulting in a delicate and breezy cover. He performed the track, alongside two keyboard players, from the trio’s hometown of Perth, Australia. He also performed “Is It True” and “Breathe Deeper” from his The Slow Rush album during their BBC Radio 1.

Last month, Parker took over an empty Perth stadium to perform “Is It True” and “Elephant” in partnership with FIFA 21, with the former appearing on the video game’s soundtrack. He also shared the tentative dates for a 2021 tour supporting The Slow Rush, with the hope that he will be able to perform in person next year, just like things used to be.

Lana Crow turns a dream inspiration into pop anthem with “In Spirit”

Lana Crow’s new single, “In Spirit,“ arrives as a high-energy pop anthem that blurs the line between subconscious inspiration and studio refinement. The song’s backstory, based on a real dream, adds an interesting emotional weight that’s easy to hear in the music.

“In Spirit“ has a retro-modern look, featuring elements of old-school texture and a modern pop structure. Made with Tristan Boston, the production feels simultaneously considered and organic. The record is based on four rigorously selected sample signatures that establish a soundscape both familiar and foreign.

“In Spirit“ was initially conceived as a laid-back, beachy song before it expanded into something more dynamic and wide-ranging. The gradual crescendo toward the chorus builds excitement, which is fulfilled by a catchy, almost hypnotic hook, tamped down by “Eeeeeooo,“ an unforgettable sound. Lana Crow’s singing is well-balanced between control and expression.

There is a compelling reflective quality beneath the surface energy, as though the song sits somewhere between an inner monologue and a celebration. What holds “In Spirit“ together is the contrast between peaceful intention and enterprising execution. “In Spirit“ is a testament to the value of following your creative instincts. Lana Crow transforms a daydream into a realized crunch of pop that makes clear she has lots of confidence in her art, and the next chapter could be exciting.

“Boom” by Chandra explodes with energy and in-depth storytelling

“Boom” is Chandra’s second single of 2026, and it’s the kind of moment when emotion, energy, and cosmic interest collapse into each other, delivering you a pop-rock sensation that is at once intimate and grand.

“Boom” settles into a steady sequence with the driven bass of Chris Wong and lead-guitar fireworks from Mike Paul. The production plays back-and-forth, the verses are cool and collected, and in the choruses, everything bursts into high, emotional sounds. The lead singer, Chandra Nair, sings in a way that feels quite personal yet speaks to everyone. He sings with a sense of wonder that matches the song’s central idea of soulmates wandering through an infinite cosmos to meet. It has a spiritual nature underneath all that, a sense of fate wrapped in heavy metaphor.

“Boom” is a song you think about and sing along to. The band leans into celestial and elemental imagery, contributing to a resonance. Chandra continues to make a name for themselves in contemporary pop-rock by balancing self-reflection with energy. Beyond being a song you want to hear, it demands you feel it, and the echo lingers well.
