Tori Amos<\/b> and Trevor Horn<\/b> have teamed up for a cover of Kendrick Lamar<\/b>‘s 2012 single, “Swimming Pools (Drank),” which is the lead single from the English music producer’s new covers album, Echoes: Ancient & Modern<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Horn described the original song as “a kind of literate, modern American standard, a rap song open to reinterpretation”.<\/p>\n
“I wanted something distinctly 21st-century with original, eloquent lyrics, and my longtime engineer Tim Weidner suggested this,” Horn wrote in the liner notes for Echoes: Ancient & Modern<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Praising Amos’ creative contributions, he added, “Tori Amos took the idea of adapting Kendrick Lamar’s psyched-up swagger in her stride and made it intensely cinematic. I listened to numerous other rap songs but nothing seemed as smart and funny. And it sets everything up like it’s the beginning of a song cycle.”<\/p>\n
