I wrote a while ago about the special, fun feeling you get when your fave covers another of your faves. One of the people I mentioned was St. Vincent, who, at the time, had covered Sleater-Kinney's "Modern Girl." Now Annie's back at it again, with a slightly more unexpected, but still very cool cover of "Consideration" by Rihanna and SZA, a track which appeared on Rih's last album ANTI. And it takes you on an emotional journey, man.Obviously the first stage is excitement: "Holy shit, very great lady St. Vincent covered her fellow very great ladies Rihanna and SZA! Don't mind if I dip my musical toe into this clear water!"Stage two: surprise. You click play and it's actually pretty stripped-back, with a sinister under-hum that differs from the original which suits St. Vincent very well.Stage three can only be described as "hell yeah!" When the chorus hits, you realise that this is a really great St. Vincent cover. Her vocal slides excellently into its sultry vibe, especially following her last album MASSEDUCTION, on which she really let that side of herself shine.Stage four: satisfaction. Like eating a great meal, this cover leaves you feeling full, happy, and ready for dessert.Hear the whole thing below:Follow Noisey on Twitter.
