Various Artists - Pop Massacre 2 (2011)
Comment: this is a miscellany of new versions of the songs by a fistful of popular artists (The Beatles, Sade, The Smiths, The Cure, Christina Aguilera, Ginuwine, Rihanna and many other ones). Mostly to the original versions are given urban music-induced intention and touch (hip-hop, grime, r`n`b, soul, funk). The favorite of mine are Chico Mann`s variant of the Cure`s Close To Me, and Salva`s spaced-out one of That Girl by Pharrell ft. Snoop Dogg. In conclusion, while you can find out other solid versions on it as well, however, the compilation seems to be a litlte bit shortcoming to get illustrated with the word "massacre".
