Forest Claudette Can’t Stop

Forest Claudette Can’t Stop: Alt R&B artist Forest Claudette has released an invigorating cover of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Can’t Stop” for their new single. It’s amazing how good that song can sound when you remove the annoying elements.

“’Can’t stop, addicted to the shindig. Chop Top, he says I’m gonna win big,’ the genre-blurring artist raps over a minimalist beat and a primal, tittering sample,” reads the press release. “‘Choose not a life of imitation, distant cousin to the reservation.’ Their dazzling falsetto takes center stage on the chorus: ‘To be part of the wave, can’t stop — ever wonder if it’s all for you?’ What once was a rousing rock track is reborn as a silky-smooth after-hours crowd-pleaser.”

It’s a fascinating cover, reinventing a funk-rock ordeal into something restrained, delicate but still massively impactful.

“The cover is the first new music from Claudette since the release of their acclaimed Everything Was Green EP in the summer,” the release says. “The celebrated album earned two ARIA Awards and includes numerous singles such as the addictive anthem ‘Mess Around’ featuring EARTHGANG, as well as ‘Motor in the Sand,’ and ‘Two Years.’
