cover versions
Rerecorded original songs
Cover versions are recordings or performances of songs previously recorded by other artists.
The original artist's version is the standard against which covers are measured.
A cover may faithfully reproduce the original or radically reimagine it: Her acoustic cover stripped the song down to its essentials.
The shortened form cover works as both noun and verb: a cover of a Beatles song, She covered "Hallelujah" at the concert.
