Josh T. Pearson covers Depeche Mode’s ‘Cover Me’ – listen here

Josh T. Pearson has released his cover version of Depeche Mode’s “Cover Me” (pun intended), a track he’d previously remixed for the band in 2017. You can listen to the track below.
“Cover Me” is the b-side to “A Love Song (Set Me Straight)” out on 21 August as a two-track bundle. “A Love Song (Set Me Straight)” is taken from Pearson’s latest album, “The Straight Hits!” out now on Mute. The album is the follow up to Pearson’s debut, 2011’s “Last Of The Country Gentlemen”.
“Cover Me” was the third single from Depeche Mode’s 14th studio album, “Spirit”. It was also the fourth single in the band’s catalog that was co-written by lead singer Dave Gahan.
Here’s the original version of “Cover Me” by Depeche Mode.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
