Azealia Banks- Slow Hands (Interpol Cover)

[weasel4915]

the music doesn't fit with the lyrics

[connieconsuela]

omgoodness i feel bad... but i like this a lot better than the original lol

[Hesthrim]

Is it sacrilege to like this better than the original (which is amazing in its own right)?

[muzakgyrl13]

Very nice!

[hightimesbruce]

This is the first Interpol cover I've ever heard; and it's pretty damn good!

[fluffygrapefruit]

yeah. yep. my brain exploded.

[xoginamarie]

I still prefer the original but this is a cool cover. She has a great voice. Nicely done.

[MissMeliBaby218]

love interpol and love love love this cover!

[FaithElizabeth0]

B E A U T I F U L

holy shit

[CarellaRoss]

Needs bass ??? more like you need some speakers. (step out of that shitty laptop speaker transistor radio environment & join the rest of us in the 21st century)

[deadmau5FTWxD]

oooof fuck me man, masterpeice.

[Blackmilk81]

Needs bass.

Vocals are good.

Overall it's an ok cover.

I just wish she'd release an album already, all I have to listen to is 212 and the stuff up on youtube...

[lawndog6794]

the idea of a cover is not to impress fans of the original. its to make it your own and for it to stand on its own. and this cover does. i respect her more for having the balls to cover such a unique song without it sounding like a karaoke cover

[BigOldMrKnish]

@lawndog6794 check out zee avi's cover who did it back in 08 or 09 i think. a very well done cover, as well.

[lawndog6794]

@BigOldMrKnish watch this, its a cover of a rolling stones song done by my friend. and its class too. definitely worth a listen. just type in carlmcn gimme shelter acoustic cover and it should be first vid that pops up. carlmcn is the lads channel if that helps

[MillionaireMoveTv]

i love this.

[infectedcalf]

thank jesus for Pro Tools!

[elpueblano009]

what the Fuuu-? your voice is a power house, but rest is just horrible.

[Saradrummer]

what the fuck is this. sorry i like ur voice, but please don't cover interpol again.

[edennis1989]

@12319gp why is this a big deal to you? A lot of (most) popular music came from black people, so why are you up in arms about one cover?

[jklaw20]

Swag cover.

[SuhRahtizher]

I think I love her

[PosieDada]

I just found this bitch, and I don't like this cover at all. I will continue to hate, because Interpol is one of my favorite bands. I'd be scared to cover them...I might do something like this. :/ I really like 212 though.

[haythornth]

Boring cover, boring production. Just fucking boring.



[yaudie]

Would love to see Azealia collab with Santigold. Thumbs sons!!

[BigOldMrKnish]

if i praised her talent any higher i fear the gods would then become jealous. at the risk of thunderbolts raining down from the heavens, let me say this, since i've discovered miss banks, i haven't discovered anyone else since, and i have ceased to remember anyone prior to knowing her. she's IT!

[eskimoform]

im in love

[GeistFright]

OMG...no way!

[SellySeri]

Omg, I love interpol! (I bought their CDs, I've only bought 5 CDs in my whole lifespan) I'm not feeling this cover entirely but I still like it!

[witkacowa]

seksi

[123kasabian]

INTERPOL'S is a million times better but nice try.

[mikeandkimarecool]

@123kasabian well the fact that shes a hip hop artist i think she did amazing, quit hating

[broadworld]

She can rap, sing, and cover Interpol? I like this girl.

[12319gp]

I think everyone is proving my point well. assuming I'm white or someshit. it's like they say tho if the cap fit let them wear it. everyone took what I said up the ass cause their probably guilty of it. this shit is gay and the only reason I think people are hyping it up is cause she's black and pretty and all that superficial shit. if you heard this without knowing who she was or seeing one of her videos you'd probably think it was whatever too. fuck yall bandwagon bitchboys and hipster hoes

[ThatgirlVEE]

Doesnt anyone else think its crazy that people are judging music based on race and not on talent, lyrics, sound, and emotion... If you have a real ear for music and arent judgemental /igorant you'd see talent. I know more than half the people talking mess on her couldnt hold a note, make a beat, and probably have an ipod full of music that is only played on the radio. People are just too easily influenced...

[nadioluvz]

she's a hipster. its obv

[callmecrazy341]

reminds me of Robyn

[starcharm]

i prefer interpols song, this sucks

[sueannwashere]

@starcharm are you stupid? It's a cover you idiot.

[hegemonster]

@12319gp Why are you so angry? Sounds like you have something to get over.

PS- Interpol is cool, but they aren't that amazing.

[12319gp]

@hegemonster cause I have an unavoidable tendency to look deeper than the surface and analyze shit not just immediately jump on it cause I read it on a little fuckboy's blog.

[sueannwashere]

@12319gp well aren't you the cool guy.

[starcharm]

@hegemonster interpol is amazing

[dayne86]

Ya hear that coloreds? @12319gp wants you to stick to your hippity hop/hip bop/whatever it is you non-whites listen to! Your interest in guitar music is pure novelty and he is not here for it!

[MinziTolero1]

@12319gp Black people are not monolithic. A good percentage may even have a varied musical taste outside (maybe even alongside) the supposed norms of their OWN CHOICE and it not down to them being 'different' or 'quirky'. *rolls eyes and scoffs*

[ladylusciouz]

@12319gp omg! Since when did white people own indie music and 'great songs'? Interpol are stupid joy division imitation. GTF over it! She made this song better.

[RedPyramid1000]

@ladylusciouz Your lame just like this fucking song.

[VentraleStar]

@12319gp I'm black. pretty sure I've liked interpol for a couple of years now. Has nothing to do with trying to be cool.....wtf...

[SmileyyBabyy14]

@12319gp You are truly an example of an idiot. What? Did you think that black people only listened to rap?

[misssugarbrown]

You just never want this song to end, replay.

[dudeihaveaids]

@PatzyPepeJr Covers aren't meant to be replace or be better than the original song, obviously, Azealia has a beautiful voice and took her own take/twist to the song. Even if it's not you're thing it's far from shit.

[thequeencandace]

somebody sign this girl please!!!!!!

[Ourtubeification]

Fantastic, didn't think Interpol could get much better... it can!

[PatzyPepeJr]

thanks for turning a good song into shit.

[GorgonDrageil]

I like the somber feeling this version has. Plus its rap influence is dope. Both versions are excellent, in my mind, it just depends on your mood.

[1919coppi]

cools



[ADDicktinghabit]

I prefer interpol's version... A lot more raw :-D

[SANBEPOWER]

Me encanta ruego que en mi país Venezuela tomen en cuenta la escena mundial para nuevos talentos que los hay sin estereotipos de tez blanca, Miss Venezuela y que no cantan nada

[mitchgunthorpe007]

@cawthy07

Thanks sweetie. Would you like to suck my balls?

[SuperMusicJunkie1]

YAAAAAAASSS, going to see her in the NME tour in febuary!

[SuperMusicJunkie1]

she should be more famous!!!!!

[larryngocn]

Kind of a female John Legend like voice...

[TheLegendofJulio]

Maybe she's Paul Bank's long lost second cousin. :)

[mitchgunthorpe]

hands down the hottest artist on the planet right now...

we all'z should ante' up on some Louis CK shit before she gts swallowed b industry.

On the other hand, girly girl should get paid according to her works...

and her works' sick innit?

[cawthy07]

@mitchgunthorpe you talk like a retard

[CPFCEAGLES25]

Pitchfork editors just came multiple times

[Victorinox99]

@CPFCEAGLES25 Haha, epic comment!

[2cita05]

@CPFCEAGLES25 top comment son

[juna42kela]

It's alright, but has nothing on the original. But, I can see how other people like it.

[LilRyan732]

Being black, it's nice to see a black female artist with a working knowledge and appreciation for indie.

unless someone else told her to do the cover :P

[phrenological]

@LilRyan732 Santigold?

"unless someone else told her to do the cover"

Oh come on now! :p

[MillionaireMoveTv]

@LilRyan732 I agree so much and being a black dude and indie lover, its fucking amazing...

[upasna1511]

the interpol version is better

[MrDendens]

I dunno if I think this is better then the oeriginal, but MAAAAAAD respect for doing a cover. Aint nothing wrong with spreading some great music round

[LyricalWax]

How does she know about Interpol??

(just joking people)

[UpTheBracket420]

this is a decent cover, I can't help but feel as if the song is taken out of context, but it's well and truly nice to hear a brilliant female vocalist with no autotune

[jbrobert]

HOW CAN ANYONE SAYS THAT IT'S BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

I mean it's decent but come on, you're talking about Interpol. Where's the bass here.

[skp2y]

@jbrobert get better speakers, the song is nothing but bass and vocals.

[m665s]

When i saw that she's done a cover of interpol, i started to laugh, but now I'm realising that it can work :)

[JaStvarno]

some new level...i love song even more now.Great girl!

[Crumbleslug]

Better than the original.

[ashesandsnow000]

I want a Azealia Banks & M.I.A. collab for Christmas

[Jencel1003]

@ashesandsnow000 fuck M.I.A: Azealia is dope enough!

[runpigrun00]

@ashesandsnow000 YEAH!!! I'm getting way too obsessed with this and 212. A.MAZE.ING.

[Nqabeni84]

@ashesandsnow000 And I just want Azealia...FULL STOP!lol!x

[jb44421]

@ashesandsnow000 Plllllease!!!

[yr06jcrawley]

If she supports odd future on the UK tour I will jizz myself

[potoroo]

This cover fills me with joy juice...where did she come from??? 2012 is your year, Azealia!!

[ezinne241]

I love Interpol and I love this cover with a passion- well at least I am not the only black chick who has heard of Interpol lol

[AmaneSuganami]

deep

[Shostakovich33]

Simply amazing 

[HyuugaK]

she's gonna be H U G E

[21stCenturyTim]

Is she Paul Banks' sister?

[tassjaj0an]

@21stCenturyTim Best comment ever.

[jak0075]

Great cover

[MissTaylorGANGG]

can't stop playing this.

[rhysrohypnol]

I clicked on this link expecting to rag all over some bitch who thought she could attempt a half decent cover of such a good song. However I will just say this a pretty amazing cover. Kudos.

[TwiiinkleToes]

If you like her song 212, it's on my page :)

[blaqstaar]

i see the buzz catchin' on..

[DanieLatzanich]

I'm white, and I would marry dis bitch

[belinda43in1]

@DanieLatzanich so what if you're white?

[DanieLatzanich]

@belinda43in1 According to Chris Rock,

white guys aren't into black women

[zombiemannequinrobot]

@DanieLatzanich actually Chris Rock said the opposite.

[fullthrottlelazy]

@zombiemannequinrobot According to Malcolm X

White guys are into black women.

[zombiemannequinrobot]

@fullthrottlelazy i didn't say they weren't. someone misquoted chris rock and i corrected them. i think interracial dating is fine in my book. lol.

[fullthrottlelazy]

@zombiemannequinrobot I know. I wasnt having a go at you. I was just quoting some thing Malcolm X said in his autobiography. I am in the mood for looking at some Chris Rock videos now. Good day sir.

[IIIIIbarcodeIIIII]

coming to a radio station near you very soon

[AJCiti]

This girl is AH MAZING

[benelux2500]

Wow!! She is hot!!

[Blink182Omar]

I'm a huge Interpol fan.

And I'm telling you this is a great cover. :)

[reddirt87]

@Blink182Omar well seeing as you like blink 182 aswell im not gonna trust your vast knowledge and musical experience

[MyGorillazz]

why is she this DOOOPE!!! dont ever stop

[shazk85]

Instead of hating on Rihanna, ya'll should put your focus on where it matters #Azelia Banks

[nldb123]

Anybody is better than Rihanna, she's just an oversexed, vulgar puppet! But I digress.. Azealia is so refreshing! This sounds nothing like the original...and that ..I LOVE!!!!

[TheRammstein619]

se olle bien!!!

[imaCONvict]

i'm seconding swarmmaster.

this doesn't speak to me at all.

[benitobaruffi]

I prefer the original...

[bonzitoo76]

This is better than Rihanna

[screwup42]

@bonzitoo76 a dying meerkat taped to a microphone would sound better than rihanna.

[regreegg]

@bonzitoo76 cos Rihanna's a divvy slag that does the same ol' shit all the fucking time. I want her to politely fuck off for a while

[JBrrou]

@bonzitoo76 More like an Odd Future Rihanna.

[wazzalegend]

@bonzitoo76 try offliberty . com init

[swarmmaster]

She can definitely sing, but there's no underlying darkness that is essential to Interpol's music. The verses, especially, are too happy. Dislike.

[dirtonmyshoe]

@swarmmaster I know what you mean about the darkness of Interpol, it's what makes Interpol's music Interpol's, but I think the beauty of people covering other artists songs is that they make it there own. It would be fake if she just tried to sound dark and brooding like Interpol do, if that is not what she's about.

I think she's made it her own and done really well with it, it's not just a reproduced cover, which makes it more interesting then if she had just copied the song bar for bar

[maxoupixou]

does someone know any other good cover of interpol?

[junkyhunkyman]

@maxoupixou Zee Avi's cover of "Slow hands" is one of my favourite

[TheAmeli14]

I went to high school with this girl...she can sing.

[mspageifunasty]

This song plays at my work and i love it.

dare i say i love it more than the Interpol original.

[laacoa]

really beautiful voice

[sista005]

Niiiiiiice

[pHeRnItRoGlIcErInA]

pLuAg...

[socratesmeetsAmun21]

OMG every track i hear from this girl is blowin my mind.. she got bars AND can sing her ass off??! found her off of yourstru.ly but there was no info about how to find her music for download and stuff..if anyone can tell me i'd appreciate it

[sista005]

@socratesmeetsAmun21 she has a myspace.

[ChickenMadThe]

@socratesmeetsAmun21 Sorry, 11 month later, but I just don't know the gal since 2 days ! You can dll on her site 2 songs of her you have quick time pro !

[heni1996i]

@socratesmeetsAmun21 try YouTube downloder I guess

she is way better than any famous artist she gotta get famous

[Assaultpredator]

@socratesmeetsAmun21

This is a cover of an interpol song

great music video for that song, 1 of my fav songs from highschool in fact.

[azurebass24]

very nice

[Mzdblue]

This has been on my playlist for over 2 weeks. Vibrant and fresh cover of Interpol.

[coragmire]

wow wouldn't have picked an artist like this to be into interpol....interesting interpretation

[yearofbeingbrilliant]

am i really the first person to view this video? im gonna believe that youtube has just messed up and not that no one else is aware of this beautiful cover yet...
