POP Cover: Absent Elk – The Loving Kind (Girls Aloud)

If I had to choose one song to represent why I love POP music so much, I believe this Girls Aloud cover of “The Loving Kind” by Absent Elk would be it.

Most POP fans already adore the original version and know just how classic of a tune it is, but Australian based band Absent Elk put a spin on the tune that highlights the songs brilliance in a way that even non-POP fans should be able to appreciate.

When I listen to a great POP song, I hear everything that Absent Elk has done with “The Loving Kind”. Under all the sugar coating goodness there are big glorious melodies, undeniable hooks and a thousand ways to interpret them.

Listen to their cover of “The Loving Kind” below and if you’re unaware of the original, listen via YouTube below. Enjoy one of my favorite POP songs of all time.

“The Loving Kind” was originally penned  for the 2009 Pet Shop Boys album, Yes. For more on the song,check out the amazing wiki page HERE.
