Manic Street Preachers 'Umbrella (Rihanna cover)' (NME Awards CD, 2008)

Manic Street Preachers, Umbrella, Rihanna, Cover Version, Indie, Alternative, NME Awards 2008, mp3, download, rarities
Elegant Rihanna cover by the Manics.

This version of 'Umbrella' works really well, marrying James Dean Bradfield's earnest vocals and strident guitar to one of the biggest pop records of the last ten years.

The whole NME cover-mount CD is available for download from Archive:Rare+Live. Amongst the usual indie flotsam are some gems from Lightspeed Champion and Bloc Party.

Kate Nash turns The Cribs' 'Men's Needs' into something that sounds like an offcut from the sessions for 'Come On Eileen' and Kaiser Chiefs somehow manage to fuck-up 'Golden Skans' (Klaxons).
