Since the late ’90s, singer-songwriter-pianist cult hero Charlotte Martin has released a dozen albums and multiple EPs. It is about wanting one hundred percent of someone in a relationship – the ultimate arrogance.” The album features several of the band’s absolute finest songs, including the ethereal “Judas.” Martin Gore describes the track as “…an arrogant love song. Charlotte Martin – Judasġ993’s Songs of Faith and Devotion introduced to the world to the sonic behemoth that was ROCK Depeche Mode, replete with axe shredding, soul-flaying anthems, and the glorious transformation of Dave Gahan into gothic savior lizard king. Whether the moniker DMK stands for Dicken Milah & Korben or Depeche Mode Kids, there’s no question these guys are Definitely Major Kickass. Deservedly so, too – the kids, aged 8 and 5, and their dad use toy instruments, kitchen gadgets, and earnest vocals that convey the joys of fandom and creativity like nothing else. Little did they dream that the video would go viral, getting them millions of views and Depeche Mode themselves as fans.
It was good fun, so they recorded another one, “Everything Counts,” for that same audience. DMK – Everything Countsĭicken Schrader and his kids, Milah and Korben, recorded a few Depeche Mode covers for the benefit of their family and friends. Nevertheless, it stands among the best Depeche covers out there, updating the electronics for a more modern club context. Daroc is a French electronic producer with 500 Facebook likes and Dhalia Di Sandro seems to have no online presence beyond her appearance on this one cover, which appeared on an covers compilation from defunct website Buffet Libre in 2008.
In the end, it gets a solid new stamp, and in the cover song game, that’s what makes a real winner. One was “Just Can’t Get Enough,” whose samba sound was too kitschy for some and sounded like a smile to others. The critical consensus was that this project made for a good album, but the critics couldn’t agree on what the best or worst songs were, and some songs were nominated for both. The fact that the name “Nouvelle Vague” translates into both new wave and bossa nova puts them right up there with the Beatles for band-name wordplay. Nouvelle Vague’s first release was a head-turner for all the right reasons, making easy listening jams out of post-punk classics.
I needn’t have worried the Depeche Mode catalog runs far deeper than their two most ubiquitous songs, and many artists have mined the riches. Was it just going to be endless covers of “Enjoy the Silence” and “Personal Jesus”? The Cover Me inbox seems to get a new version of one of those two every other day.
We had a bit of apprehension about this one. Now, many months after we expected to post it, the grand finale: The 25 Best Depeche Mode Covers Ever. Tomorrow, many months later, the Rock Hall is finally hosting some sort of ceremony – remotely, of course – and we’ve been honoring each artist all week with covers features: Whitney Houston, Notorious B.I.G., The Doobie Brothers, T. Depeche Mode won, so we started planning our schedule to get it ready in advance of the big induction ceremony on March 24. Way back in January, we polled our Patreon supporters to see which 2020 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee they wanted to see get the “Best Covers Ever” treatment.
