It’s not often you find a cover that’s better or at least on par with the original, but there are those moments of pure sonic heaven when you realize you haven’t fully appreciated a song until you hear it performed by another artist. Well, Macy Gray covered Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters,” and let’s just say that I’m trying to keep my cool but I’m fiendin’. Gray brings her signature raspy voice and bluesy style to the cover, managing to turn a song from one of the most quintessential heavy metal bands into a jazzy symphonic melody. So prepare yourself for an ear-gasm and enjoy.
