Alternative rock bands Mayonnaise and 647 treated fans to their own rendition of Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” amid the release of the pop star’s re-recorded “Fearless” album.
The two bands collaborated through Mayonnaise’s weekly “TBT” (Throwback Thursday) sessions where they, as the title suggests, cover or perform old songs for the fans.
Amid the pandemic-induced lockdown, Mayonnaise and 647 brought live gig feels to fans as they performed the song live at the Yellow Room Recording Studio in Alabang. It was uploaded on YouTube yesterday, April 8.
Other than the re-recording of her old songs, Swift’s new “Fearless” album, officially titled “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” comes with bonus tracks “From the Vault.” It was released just earlier today, April 9.
“Love Story” is one of Swift’s biggest hits ever, not only among the songs from “Fearless” album back in 2008. The said album earned Swift multiple Grammys back then, including Album of the Year in 2010.
Aside from Swift’s new project, the two Pinoy bands’ collaboration also comes amid the release of 647’s new song titled “Di Mo Na Ko Maloloko.”
Mayonnaise has covered multiple songs from different artists, both local and foreign, through their YouTube channel. Frontman Monty Macalino, for one, previously covered K-pop group Blackpink’s “Really” last year. /ra
