Brittney Slayes - Zombie (The Cranberries Cover)

[@tomwatts8]

Brittney Slayes - both a name and a completely accurate sentence.

[@toddvandell85]

@Tom Watts Agreed. When I first heard Unleash The Archers and the amazing Brittney Slayes, my first thought was: "Why yes, she does. She definitely does." Truer words have never been spoken than "Brittney Slayes".

[@AnOminous1]

It's on purpose. Her actual name is Hayes :) Using 'Slayes' fits so perfectly though

She has a very good ear to sound true to the original. Very good rendition that’s solid. Not to mention her voice can hit some incredible notes. Very unique band with an oldschool metal sound.

[@shadowproductions969]

She definitely does a great job. She really nails the yodel like ohs and ending to some of the phrases. The only thing I wish she did (which I haven't really heard her do in the songs of theirs i've listened to) is add vocal fry/ distortion to the zom in zombie. She has a very clean opera voice which works great in power metal

You gave her the chills big time.

[@toddvandell85]

Tears began streaming from the very first note. This was a great cover, Brittney Slayes and Unleash The Archers. (Although I guess the rest of the band wasn't really involved, just AndrewKingsley playing all the instruments and programming?) Thank you for doing it. This song is just so heartbreaking that I'm still crying and the song ended several minutes ago. I think Dolores O'Riordan would have appreciated the cover, although Dolores's version is still the best. Their is a very deep ache in Dolores's voice that Brittney doesn't quite get to, can't really get to, although she got pretty damn close. But the song was written by Dolores and it was about her Ireland. All the conflicts and violence that went on there for so long. So she had the heartbreak in her voice already, naturally, and it's not easy to bring that heartache to your voice if you're covering the song and maybe haven't lived it. I love this version, though, don't get me wrong. The profound heartache and the cracks in Dolores's voice are nearly impossible to duplicate, for anyone. I just really like how "stripped down" Brittney is in this video: No makeup. (Or very little.) Plain clothes. Downplaying any sexuality. Nothing to detract attention. It's just all about the song. As it should be. And very definitely a strong tribute, both to the original point of the song, but also to the Black Lives Matter campaigns everywhere. Nicely done. I do think, somewhere up there in heaven, Dolores O'Riordan approves. "Dolores Mary Eileen O'Riordan (/oʊˈrɪərdən/; 6 September 1971 - 15 January 2018) was an Irish musician, singer, and songwriter. She was best known as the lead vocalist and lyricist for the alternative rock band the Cranberries. O'Riordan was one of the most recognizable female voices in rock in the 1990s and in pop history. She was known for her lilting mezzo-soprano voice, her signature yodel, her emphasised use of keening, and her strong Limerick accent. With the Cranberries, she is regarded to have written "some of the most seminal songs in music history"." (From Wikipedia's entry on Dolores.)
