Hootie Covers REM
Hootie and the Blowfish have released a cover of R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion,” available to stream and purchase exclusively on Amazon Music.
During their 2019 reunion tour, Hootie and the Blowfish covered R.E.M.’s No. 1 hit “Losing My Religion,” and R.E.M.’s Mike Mills also joined them onstage in New York City for a couple of numbers.
“When we were cutting our teeth as a band, almost every night fans would hear us on stage covering R.E.M.,” says lead singer Darius Rucker. “‘Losing My Religion’ is a song that when you first listen to it, you can feel the struggle, the back-and-forth.” “We’re releasing it as a cover with Amazon Music [because] I think it’s still as thrilling to people today as it was when it was first released,” he adds.
Amazon Music customers can simply ask, “Alexa play the Amazon Original by Hootie & The Blowfish” in the Amazon Music app for iOS and Android and on Alexa-enabled devices to hear the cover.
