This summer, Matt Berninger of The National wowed audiences with a fresh cover of New Order’s "Blue Monday," which has now dropped as an Amazon Music Unlimited exclusive. His rendition swaps synths for electric guitar, offering a vibrant twist on the classic. Recorded at Knobworld in LA with familiar collaborators, this track complements his recent album, Get Sunk, released in May.
What other classic tracks do you think could benefit from a modern reinterpretation, and how do such covers reshape our view of the originals?
