PUBLISHER’S PICK OF THE WEEK (By Adam Waldman)

CAVO (f. SHANNON ROC ) – “Come Undone”

For over a decade, Cavo has been doing a cover of Duran Duran’s “Come Undone” in concert.  The band did release a version of the cover on a demo EP that was only distributed around St. Louis, but it was such a small run, that fans could never purchase the recording of it after hearing it live.  With the help of guest vocalist Shannon Roc, Cavo has released a new version of “Come Undone” that is both true to the original and distinctly their own.  Though Duran Duran’s original is a deviation from the norm with a haunting quality, the underlying beat is still a danceable pop song.  Cavo has taken the mystique of the original and infused it with an alternative rock edge that harkens back to the rock music of the ’90s.  The beat is more of a groove, and the guitar and bass dance on the dark edge of grunge.  While Simon Le Bon’s vocals on the original were a blending of sweetness and melancholy, Casey Walker’s vocals are melodically angst-ridden.  Roc’s vocals also give the song a shot of adrenaline that invokes a different kind of emotion than Duran Duran did back in the day.
