THE BEST COVERS!

Hello beautiful people, today I come to talk about covers in the musical world.

Let's start first by saying what the covers are. Covers are an area of the branch of music that refers to taking a song by a famous singer or composer and having another author interpret it but in a different way, either by changing the language, the lyrics or by changing the rhythm.

To make a cover and make a profit on it, it's necessary to make a letter or writing where it says wich covers are the ones you will record, how many copies will you sell, and what will be the name of your album. 

In case you upload it to a platform, you must buy a license that will cost you about 15 dollars plus the royalty payment to the artist, which will depend on the success of your version. You also have to put the credits of the original song; it means that it must say the name of the song, the original author and finally your name.

Doing a cover has its advantages, if you love to sing but still don't dare to show your own content, you can try other people's songs, you will be able to find your voice range when experimenting with different vibes and musical styles, and if you sing in another language you will perfect your pronunciation with the letters.

A good way to start would be to create a YouTube channel and place your covers there, but keep in mind that you must have everything correctly so as not to suffer the delete of a video; make sure you have a professional microphone, a good camera and learn to edit or have a partner to help you in that area.

Depending on your country, you will need to follow different laws or rules if you want to try a cover, you only have to do a good research first and have the necessary musical elements.

Covers are simply adaptations to your favorite songs made your way, it can also be seen as a sign of respect for those composers / performers. Today are several cover artists, most with accounts on YouTube, we also see bands/singers doing covers of other singers, and many times we have found that the cover is even better than the original song.

I will leave you what for me is the top 10 of Covers that will leave you surprised.

TOP 10 ANIMES TO GET STARTED

If you have already been bitten by the curiosity animal and you want to start this roller coaster that is Anime but there are so many that you do not know where to start, I am going to leave you what for me is the perfect top ten for beginners.

#10 SAMURAI X

If you are one of those who like history, swordsmen, and action, you have this excellent story set in the Meiji era in Japan, it is based on the manga of the creator Nobuhiro Watsuki, has 95 chapters, two films, and seven OVAS. Personally, I love this story, having a look at ancient Japan, you can see how the main character tries to redeem himself for the actions committed in his past. 

#9 NEON GENESIS EVANGELION

Are you a fan of the futuristic cyberpunk? or the constant fight for life? If so you can not stop seeing this masterpiece from the Gainax studio, although at first, it seems just a simple robot fight with monsters in Tokyo, I can assure you that it is a work full of symbolism and characters full of nuances and layers that hide their true motivations. It has 26 episodes and 5 movies (the latter being a tetralogy)

#8 COWBOY BEBOP

These are the futuristic adventures of a bounty hunter and his companions in the search for criminals, it is developed by the Sunrise studio and Bandai Visual. Once again we immerse ourselves in the futuristic vision of Japan with characters that maintain tortuous relationships which lead to not-so-conventional decisions. It has 26 episodes

#7 FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST

This world has a style similar to the time after the European Industrial Revolution. We are introduced to alchemy, which is one of the most advanced scientific techniques known to man. The story focuses on brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, who want to restore their bodies through the philosopher's stone after a failed attempt to resuscitate their mother through alchemy. This first series has fifty-one episodes, then we have a second series called Fullmetal Alchemist: brotherhood that has sixty-four episodes; plus three movies.

#6 DEATH NOTE

The story centers on Light Yagami, a high school student who one day when finding a notebook with supernatural powers called "Death Note", decides that he can take justice on his own. This is an anime that shows how easy the so-called "Justice" can be misrepresented and how quickly you can feel the adrenaline of power in your veins. It has thirty-seven episodes and four movies.

#5 ATTACK ON THE TITANS

The plot revolves around Eren Jaeger who, together with his childhood friends, decides to join the army with the aim of avenging the death of his mother and the destruction of his city at the hands of humanoid beings called Titans. It has fifty-nine episodes divided into three seasons with a fourth one in the process of launching and five OVAS.

#4 TOKYO GHOUL

What would you do if one day you lose all contact with reality and enter a world that you did not think existed? This anime throws you into fiction, with supernatural beings called ghouls who live on human flesh, with a young man named Kaneki who abruptly and by a bad choice will face his new life as a half-ghoul, who will see the dark side not only from humanity but also from the ghouls. It has three seasons, the last being divided into two parts, and two OVAS.

#3 ANOTHER

Terror, blood, and suspense, all wrapped up in this little anime based on Yukito Ayatsuji's light novel, it all starts when young Sakakibara is transferred to the North Yomiyama school, ending up in a class that is far from normal. Horrible deaths and Constant fear lurk the students, who believe they are caught in a curse that started 23 years ago when one of the students died. Or at least that was what was thought ... It is a short anime with only twelve episodes but with very strong images so if you have a weak stomach I recommend you skip this step.

#2 PSYCHO-PASS

Psycho-Pass is ideal for those who enjoy science fiction stories, with a dense, complex plot and quite stylish characters, it addresses very interesting questions about the human psyche and reflections on the meaning of good and evil. If you enjoyed Minority Report, you are going to love this anime in which you cannot have any criminal thought crossing your head without being punished even without committing it, it has twenty-two episodes.

#1 WOLF’S RAIN

Finally but not least this is an anime that combines science fiction, Indian traditions, adventure, action, fighting, wolves, humans, mysticism, and drama. This story focuses on the strong instinct and the proclaimed faith that a being can have to achieve what they want in a world where decadence reigns. It has twenty-six episodes and was aired by the Bones studio.

I hope this top 10 helps you and that you like each one of them. Tell me if you have seen any of them and how are yours thought on the plot. 

XOXO Li
