Are you ready for a "Tears For Fears" cover? It may come as a surprise
to you (as it did me) that their 1985 song "Shout" was a #1 hit in
the US (it got to #4 in UK in 1984 and spent 20 weeks on the chart) and
reached #56 on the R&B chart.
"Everybody Wants To Rule The World" was their biggest of seven UK
Top 10 hits reaching #2 in 1985 and was the follow-up to "Shout".
Scary Pockets have just released it on 21 Jun 2021 featuring former (4 Grammy award winning) Snark Puppy member Cory Henry (the singer/keys in the video).
The core of Scary Pockets is Jack Conte (one half of of Pomplamoose and co-founder of Patreon) and Ryan Lerman. Apparently every week they invite guests and
release a video of a cover version on their YT channel. I have noticed
them before but nothing thus far appealed to me, however, this one got my
attention.
Putting 'soul snobbery' to one side, this is a great cover.
