Earlier this year the Recording Academy introduced the Grammys ReImagined series featuring artists covering song written by other performers. Reggae act SOJA is the latest group to participate in the series, offering their take on “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
Prince wrote “Nothing Compares 2 U,” which Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor turned into a Grammy-nominated hit in 1990. SOJA assembled at The Village Studios in Santa Monica, California to record their reggae arrangement of The Purple One’s composition.
Watch frontman Jacob Hemphill, bassist Bobby Lee Jefferson, keyboardist Patrick O’Shea, drummer Ryan “Bird” Berty, percussionist Ken Brownell, saxophonist Hellman Escorcia, trumpeter Rafael Rodriguez and guitarist Trevor Young covering “Nothing Compares 2 U” below:
