How many faces can one melody have? The prologue of Coverist picks up that question again: one that started years ago on Instagram and now continues as a podcast.
From Instagram to podcast
Ehsan, who makes Coverist, is neither a critic nor a musician, just a listener who loves great music. He used to share timeless songs and their covers on the Instagram page @songs_and_the_covers. That page has been quiet for a few years, but the same spirit now lives on in Coverist, with more depth and more freedom.
The joy of hearing one song through many minds
Every artist sees a song through the window of their own world. A classic rock song suddenly becomes jazz, a cappella or electronic, and that shows how flexible a melody can be. Coverist is about that journey.
What every episode brings
Each episode picks one iconic, enduring song:
- The story of the song and the time it was born in
- The style and the original artist
- Some of its best, most creative and even strangest covers, played and compared
