Nothing like a little bit of French soul to get your day started! Ben L’Oncle’s uptempo cover of The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” has created a bit of a stir in Europe this summer, causing some critics to lament the lack of originality to his sound, and others to praise the originality of choosing to cover a work by The White Stripes.
While the contrast in opinion may be pretty sharp, I tend to side with the latter argument — do you think Jack White would have guessed there’d be a Motown cover of this song? From my perspective, what matters is that Ben L’Oncle’s cover sounds good. This is a music blog, after all, and good tunes are what we aim to bring to you.
