Noël Wells Covers Bill Withers


We were as surprised as anyone was at how great Noël Wells' 2019 album It's So Nice! was. Typically when someone better known as an actor/comedian/director decides to add musician to that list, it doesn't go very well. But Wells is ridiculously talented, and that extends to her music as well. Inspired by seeing people dancing in the streets after Joe Biden's victory earlier this month, Wells recorded a cover of Bill Withers' iconic "Lovely Day." It's not a straightforward cover, as Wells puts a disco glitter shine on the song. Gone is the smooth 70's R&B, and in its place is a chilled out wall of synths. It's the kind of cover that completely reimagines the original but keeps the original's spirit alive.
