New Us Cover Video: Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” Goes Folk
The musical duo Carissa Rae and Michael Alvarado, known as Us, released their cover of Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” with a Mumford and Sons twist for their Studio Sessions #2. The first of their Studio Sessions was a cover of Rihanna’s “Where Have You Been” back in August!
Turning “Call Me Maybe” into a pop/folk jam worked in all the right ways. Between the addition of background vocals similar to The Lumineers‘ “Ho Hey,” a stand-up bass and a banjo, it’s full of spirit and joy. I’m a sucker for a killer banjo part.
The chemistry between this talented couple is super fun to watch. I’m excited to see what they cook up for their next video.
You can download this cover and more of Us’ music over at Bandcamp.
