I didn’t think I would like anyone else’s version of ‘Suspicious Minds’ apart from Elvis’, but I really enjoyed Blake’s
Country music superstar Blake Shelton has recently released a new cover of the classic Elvis Presley hit, “Suspicious Minds”. Fans of both Shelton and Presley have been buzzing with excitement since the release, curious to hear how Shelton would make the song his own while still staying true to the original.
The track features Shelton’s signature country twang and smooth vocals, backed by a lively band and gospel-style backing singers. The production is polished but not overproduced, allowing Shelton’s voice to shine through and convey the emotion of the lyrics.
While some fans were skeptical about someone other than Presley taking on such an iconic song, many were pleasantly surprised by Shelton’s rendition. In fact, some have even gone so far as to say that they prefer Shelton’s version to the original.
This is not the first time Shelton has tackled a classic song – he has previously covered hits such as “Footloose” and “God Gave Me You”. However, his take on “Suspicious Minds” may be his most impressive yet. Whether you’re a die-hard Elvis fan or a country music lover in general, Shelton’s cover of “Suspicious Minds” is definitely worth a listen.
