cover song
Another artist's version
A cover song is a new recording of a previously recorded song by a different artist.
The term distinguishes later versions from the original: Their cover of "Hallelujah" went viral.
Covers range from faithful reproductions to radical reinterpretations.
A band that plays mostly covers rather than original material is a cover band.
