cover albums
Songs performed anew
A cover album is a music album consisting primarily or entirely of cover versions—new recordings of songs originally performed by other artists.
Musicians release cover albums to pay tribute to influences, reinterpret classics in their own style, or introduce older material to new audiences: She released a cover album of jazz standards.
Some cover albums focus on a single artist's catalog, while others range across genres or eras.
