BTS (방탄소년단) - IDOL (Metal Cover by Lauren Babic ft. Tyson Dang)

[@laurenbabic]

Not only did Tyson smash it on the drums, he helped me to properly pronounce every single Korean lyric of this song. How'd we do? If you like what you hear, you can listen on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, Google Play + more. Thank you for watching! ❤️❤️

Y'all need to attack Monsta X. Heavy shit in there. Their track "Stuck", i've been trying to pull off a metal version of it ever since I heard it. But that was awesome.

It was very difficult to get the pronunciations correct, but also keep it "slang" sounding...

I came here ready to be disappointed. I love metal, and I'm ARMY. I assumed you would have to sacrifice the joy that the song conveys or the authentic sounds that I love in metal. BTS has done rock versions of their own songs, but it left the rock side of me wanting more. I am sincerely in awe at your mastery of sounding metal while maintaining the feeling of joy and self love AND keeping the beats and singing in Korean. Thank you!!!

[@Fellune]

its been five long years and I still return to this cover. Every time i hear your cover Lauren, i am left in awe. the amount of effort you put into your music is absolutely insane. the fact you sang this in a language unfamilar to you and made the song your own while keepin the same vibe and energy. wow. you are fantastic.

[@OnyxSprinkles]
