Releasing a cover song.

Nowadays it’s very popular to release a single that is a cover song but why are all artists doing this?

Milow won the MIA award for best song with his 50 cent cover ‘Ayo Technology’. Triggerfinger had a number one single in Belgium and the Netherlands with their ‘I follow rivers’ cover.

Why are all these artists doing this? This can be because of many reasons.

When people hear 10 new songs and there is one cover song, they’ll remember the cover song because they’ve heard the song before (from an other artist of course).

This is a good method for beginning bands to get more famous. But there are more and more artists that think it’s not done for bands to release a cover song.

To conclude: you can get famous faster when you release a cover song but people can think it’s wrong. It’s a difficult decision.
