New Cover of Nothing Compares 2 U

A new CD compilation was released in the UK this week which features a cover of Nothing Compares 2 U by Welsh band, The Stereophonics.

The album, '1 Love' has been produced by UK music paper, NME, in association with the charity WarChild. The concept of the album is covers of previous numbers 1's by current UK artists and includes Miss Dynamite, the Sugarbabes, and Badly Drawn Boy.

The version of Nothing Compares... is quite different - very stripped-down with just a guitar and vocals - but is definitely worth a listen. And the album's for charity so go buy it!

It's not a bad version at all and I do not really dig the Stereophonics.

But what does annoy me is that in several papers they refer to the cover by the Stereophonics as 'A superb version of Sinead O'Conners' song.'

Raaa!!!

I realise she made it a hit. But it is not her song!

One other thing: In the CD booklet the writing credits for the song are given as Prince/Rogers/Nelson - suggesting it was written by three people. How funny.
