I know that I sung the praises of unironic R&B covers a while back, but this Sondre Lerche cover of Countdown is good enough that I forgive an alt-dude making an acoustic cover of a pop banger.
It also makes a pretty good argument that Countdown is basically a fantastic pop song. Strip away all the glitzy production, and the track still has an inarguably wicked melody.
