@Americana66162 роки тому
I think this is a really nice stripped-down version of the song. It doesn't have the soaring desperation that a more conventional cover may have, but there is a kind of quiet sadness to it that's beautiful.

It's his sincerity. Even though it's catchy as hell, his music is also unapologetically raw. He has so much talent and presence, and I'm always so stoked to see what he does next. And also, he's being controversial, honest, risk-taking and authentic, and still succeeding, and that is the best part of it all. His fearlessness makes me want to support him any way I can. (Also, this cover slaaaayyyss.)
@mefirstyoulater2 роки тому
My takeaway: It's definitely what I'd deem a transformative cover. ignoring the obvious context shift toward reimagining the narrative as a bisexual interracial love triangle. (That's relevant and interesting, but also the low hanging fruit) Dolly's original version is so heavily vocally driven that the music is almost an afterthought. His lower register and slightly slower tempo, electric guitars that would be perfectly at home with Nancy Sinatra's rendition of Bang Bang and the heavier emphasis on the percussion all work to deliver a completely different emotional tenor. Dolly gave us a narrative of burning desperation. Scrambling to salvage the relationship. LNX gives us the empty ache of a despair already beyond salvation, already knowing that the damage is done and there's no going back.
@rickderby22122 роки тому

Of course going back and listening to Bang Bang again (I kind of had to at this point) there's a lot more distortion than I initially recalled, but yeah, this does have the same sort of haunting, wandering tone as BB.

I love how just by being a gay man singing the song, it rotates the meaning so the ease with which Jolene could take the narrator's man isn't just about how beautiful she is or whether the man is attracted to her, it's about how she could do it and fewer people would fault her for it just because the couple she's breaking up is two men.

"Jolene" has always had a bi-vibe to me (Dolly REALLY thinks Jolene is stunning, there's one thing admitting someone is beautiful, another to think their smile is like the breath of spring if you know what I'm saying) but now it's really put the forefront with a man might leaving another man for a woman.

Like it was said PERFECTLY- Dolly was fighting w/ desperation for her relationship- but in this rendition of Lil Nas- he knew it was over & mourning the loss of this relationship. I really felt that. He truly has a great baritone voice/register. Loved his take on this song. I never heard it until ALL craziness of the Beyonce new country album that just came out. I didn't know he did his own spin on this song. It's HAUNTING. 🫶💯❤️🥹 Lil Nas' rendition his TRULY 1 OF KIND. HOPE he sees this one day!

This is a FASCINATING take on Jolene, clearly informed by Nas' range and experience. The tone feels almost akin to a small town gay man losing the only bi man in town to a girl because it's "easier this way, no matter how much I love you", at least, that's the way the defeat and resignation in his voice as he sings "please don't take him just because you can" reads to me. Gotta say, enjoyed this a great deal more than I was expecting, Jolene is a tough song to cover given Dolly set the bar so high!
