Okay, so when I heard a band I’d never heard of was taking on this Depeche Mode classic, I was obviously a little dubious, and unfortunately for the trio in Red Blooded Women… their ’red blood’ just doesn’t do this song justice.
Red Blooded Women - Enjoy The Silence
To be honest, it could just be the three of them singing along to the original track on karaoke and then adding a few synthesisers; I mean, if you’re going to cover a track - and a track of this magnitude - there’s no point just re-creating the original, you have to make it your own. (Unless you’re on X Factor obviously)
Don’t get me wrong, the girls do have a good crack at it, considering there are an epic SEVEN versions of the same song on the single, each with a slightly difference dancey / drum and bass backbeat, buy let’s face it… you can’t reinvent the wheel… so don’t try to recreate Depeche Mode.
Rating:1/5 - They can have a point for their nice voices.
