AWOLNATION Covers Madonna's “Material Girl” featuring Taylor Hanson
Los Angeles-based rock band AWOLNATION released a cover of Madonna's “Material Girl” from their upcoming covers album “My Echo, My Shadow, My Covers & Me”.
This time, the band teamed up with American pop rock band Hanson's Taylor Hanson.
The original version of the song was released by American singer-songwriter Madonna from her second studio album “Like a Virgin” in 1984.
The band frontman Aaron Bruno said, “Taylor Hanson is a very very good singer. And an amazingly kind person. I asked him to try 'Material Girl,' and he was definitely thrown off by it at first, but after hearing the final product, I am so happy I convinced him to do it!”
Taylor Hanson said, “My first introduction to the project was simply the idea of working on an unexpected cover song, and a project that would have many different collaborators as a part of it, and that had my interest. The song 'Material Girl' was surprising on several levels, because it's a song I would never expect either AWOLNATION or HANSON to cover. I loved the challenge of covering the song and staying true to the composition, while giving an authentic interpretation that I was proud of. I think the combination of the track Aaron built and the vocal arrangement I was able to contribute is a dynamic combination.”
The new album comprises 11-track and is set to be released on May 6, 2022 via Better Noise Music.- Photo by Kari Rowe
