“I’m on Fire” by Chromatics (Bruce Springsteen cover)
Chromatics easily make some of the best cover songs out there. That’s not to say that there original songs are not completely captivating. When they finally embraced the nu-disco aesthetic and hopped on board the Italians Do It Better train, everything seemed to fall into place. “Night Drive” is a perfect nighttime summer compliment, a supplement for those cool drives down Lakeshore Drive. “I Want Your Love” is scrumptious, sensuous. “Running Up That Hill” is perhaps the best cover, touching upon the light yet haunting vocals that Kate Bush perfected while adding a smooth sound of clean synths that turned the song into something completely new.
