a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Canadian singer Emm Gryner had the same idea with Girl
Versions as Tori Amos had with Strange Little Girls;
to cover songs by male artists.
Gryner thought of it before Tori and made a limited
edition tape a few years ago. This is the album
version.
Emm Gryner takes some unlikely candidates and makes
them her own. Thus Def Leppard's hip thrusting "Pour
Some Sugar on Me" becomes a sensitive love song.
Clash's "Straight to hell" is more moving than the
original and a Stone Temple Pilots song becomes
listenable.
Gryner has successfully remade these songs in her own
image. The album is one of the year's best.
