You'd think music flows out every time Alice Smith opens her mouth. That powerful voice seems to come just as easy as speech to her. Making a cover of a Cee-Lo Green song is a piece of hard work, but in Alice's hands Fool For You is a completely new song. It doesn't stray that much from the style of the original, but the feeling and power that Alice contributes with is no joke. She keeps it straight forward, and even though it originally isn't her song, this definitely feels personal.
While I felt like somthing lacked from her album For Lovers, Dreamers and Me, this makes up for it. The style fits her voice and attitude perfectly. This cover is interesting, it makes me wonder what her next step will be like, and if she will take her next album down the same way. It also makes me regret not going to the Alice Smith & Gary Clark Jr. concert while I was in New York even more, but that's just me.
