Muchas veces se ha dado el caso en que artistas poperos encuentran la oportunidad de llamar -aún más- la atención no sólo con sus ridículas vestimentas (cof cof " Lady Gaga ") ni con sus acciones, sino con algún cover que hacen a algún grupo indie de moda en el momento, y no, no estamos hablando de la pésima reinterpretación que le hizo Shakira a los XX . Pocas son las veces en las cuales un proyecto indie proveniente de Suecia como ceo hacen de las suyas como con este cover que [...]
Cover versions are, more often than not, brilliant reworkings of songs or totally skewed perspectives on a track that make you look at it in a different way. Here I've collated my five favourite covers released this year. From the smokey-laden vocals of Damon Albarn covering The xx to Diplo & Switch's inspired Major Lazer take on Beyonce's mega hit "Halo", there have been some intensely good covers this year and as ever, it is always interesting to hear artists dissect and reassemble songs. Gorillaz - Crystalised (The xx) [...]
Toronto - File this in the "random" bin, but Colombian pop star Shakira has been covering The XX 's Island on a lot of recent shows. This cover doesn't stray very far from the original, but it's still worth checking out. Gawd, I still remember when Whenever, Wherever came out. What a video.

... WHAT? Yeah we know, we were surprised too. It's one thing for indie bands to do 'indie-fied' covers of pop songs but it's always so weird when big mainstream artists record odes to the little indies. We suspected our recent post on The xx would get the band back into blog circulations, but we didn't see this coming. Enjoy this unexpected cover from none other than hip-shakin' Latina chica Shakira . We're more amused than impressed. Have fun shakin' it to this one. Shakira - Islands by ArturoJ24 [...]
It's always interesting when some of the world's biggest pop stars love the same bands you do; I still remember the helter skelter rush of emotions I experienced when I saw a photo of Britney Spears walking out the gym with a copy of Radiohead's In Rainbows in her hand, or when Beyonce mentioned a desire to work with of Montreal on her next album, or even when Jay-Z hoped that the "incredible" Grizzly Bear and their "indie rock movement" will push rap. And now, the most lovable She-Wolf, FIFA songbird, and overall voluptuous beauty, Shakira [...]
NEW: Daft Punk - "The Game Has Changed" (From Tron Legacy Soundtrack) The French House Gods may have pushed back their Tron Legacy Soundtrack by two weeks to a December 7 release, but good news comes not only in a form of a 90-second song clip, but a video game. That's right, you can also expect new Daft Punk music on the new Tron: Evolution video game, also out December 7. Hopefully this new clip Team Tron posted onto the internet, "The Game Has Changed," will [...]
Last June Shakira quite inexplicably added to the ubiquity of The xx at this year's Glastonbury Festival by covering the hypnotic centrepiece of their eponymous, Mercury Prize-slaying debut LP, Islands. Pieced together from live and studio slabs and samples, the bizarrely lo-fi cover take of one of Shakira's favourite bands streams in its entirety below... Shakira - Islands by ArturoJ24

Shakira gave us a taster of her indie credentials earlier this year when she performed The XX's ' Islands ' at Glastonbury, and fans can soon get their hands on a studio version. The track will feature on Shakira's forthcoming album 'Sale El Sol', and can be heard here: Click here to view the embedded video.
Shakira debuted her upbeat cover of The xx's "Islands" at Glastonbury — now listen to the full studio recording, which will find a home on the Colombian singer's upcoming album, Sale El Sol . Compared to the flashy Latin-flavored " Loca ", this song is brilliantly subdued. Listen below. Shakira - Islands Very pretty, and by quickening the tempo and adding Shakira's hopeful-sounding vocals, it's just different enough from the original. What do you think of Shakira's cover? Leave your [...]
Shakira's follow-up to last year's underrated She Wolf , Sale El Sol , will be released on October 19 . The bilingual album has already showed a great contrast in Shakira's sound and image: from glam to more organic. A new leak surfaced in full just earlier today. "Islands" is a cover of The xx's third single, of the same name, and is finally here in full after a few previews hit the net earlier this year. Shaki's unique vocals may not be everyone's cup of tea but you cannot deny that the lady knows [...]
[pic by Andrew Allcock] Vi abbiamo già fatto vedere in questi giorni alcuni dei migliori video registrati durante l'ultimo festival di Glastonbury: Muse, Scissor Sister + Kylie Minouge e Shakira . Ma Glastonbury è un evento gigantesco e a cercare bene sul web si trovano un sacco di video interessanti girati durante i quattro giorni di festival. Pitchfork ne ha scovati alcuni decisamente da non perdere che vi riproponiamo anche qui su Soundsblog. Fra questi Thom Yorke e Johnny Greenwood dei Radiohead alle prese con Karma Police [...]

Shakira covers The xx's 'Islands'
Back in June Colombian singer Shakira preformed at the Glastonbury Festival. She played her hits ‘She Wolf’ and ‘Hips Don’t Lie,’ but she also preformed an unreleased cover of British indie rockers The xx’s ‘Islands,’ and for some reason she renamed the song ‘Explore’. It’s good but the original will always be better.
