Tame Impala Remix Crowded House's Latest Single 'To The Island'
Crowded House have shared a new version of their latest single, "To The Island," remixed by Tame Impala's Kevin Parker.
"To The Island" is the lead single off Crowded House's upcoming album Dreamers Are Waiting. The Australian rock band's first LP in more than a decade is due to release on June 4.
Crowded House frontman Neil Finn explained the birth of the "To The Island" remix in a statement.
"With all the world upended and nothing in its right place we became curious to hear how our favorite contemporary musicians and record makers might re imagine a Crowded House song," Finn said.
He added, "I emailed our version of 'To The Island' to Kevin Parker with an invitation to take it apart and reassemble in his own unique way. Happily, he really liked the song and it was an absolute delight to hear what he made from it, an exotic fantasy I would call it."

Kelly Clarkson Reveals The One Song She's 'Afraid To Cover'
Singer-songwriter and television personality Kelly Clarkson has revealed the one song that she is afraid to cover.
The 38-year-old, who rose to fame by performing cover songs on the first-ever season of "American Idol" and continues to put out covers of her favorites on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" in a segment known as "Kellyoke," surprised fans by admitting that there is one song that she will likely never cover.
Having brought in Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi to be an advisor to the contestants on the show "The Voice," on which she is one of the coaches, Clarkson confessed to the singer that she is too afraid to cover his 2019 hit song, "Despactio."
"I have practiced so hard, because I love singing in Spanish as well, or just in different languages," she said. "And it's, like, the biggest song of all time. You're kind of like, 'You know what? I'm gonna leave that alone,'" to which Fonsi naturally responded with "Oh, come on, you have to cover it now!"

Carrie Underwood's 'My Savior' Debuts At No. 1 On Billboard's Top Country Albums Chart
Carrie Underwood's new album My Savior made its debut at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.
My Savior also entered Billboard's Christian and Current Digital charts at No. 1 and the Billboard 200 at No.4.
Underwood has now become the only artist in country music whose all nine studio albums have topped Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.
My Savior netted 73,000 sales-plus-streaming (SPS) units in the week ending April 1, while her album was streamed 5.3 million times.
"Just as she did on her recent Christmas album My Gift, the country star uses her spectacular voice on My Savior to reinvigorate age-old classics and push her aesthetic forward," notes Billboard.
My Savior hit No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart by knocking Morgan Wallen's double album Dangerous out of the top spot.
