What’s Green Day’s biggest hit of the ’90s? At least in terms of total sales, not chart position, it’s probably the least Green Day-like of all their hits, “Good Riddance.” Nearly three decades later, it is one of their top five most-streamed songs too, no matter how unlike the rest of their (’90s) oeuvre it is.

Gigi Perez is a Cuban-American singer-songwriter based in Florida who has been releasing singles for about half a decade. Her song “Sailor Song” blew up on TikTok in 2024. Hollister enlisted her for their new ad campaign and she’s done a cool thing with it: she’s covered “Good Riddance” as country rock. Continue reading »

It feels like every hit song must have a slow piano cover at this point. There are so many out there. Not all hit songs are suited to the style yet it feels like every hit song gets one. But, despite the proliferation of this very specific cover style, there is still the odd new version that pokes through, that works so well it’s almost like hearing the slow piano cover for the first time. Sometimes, that’s an easy song for the style – a song whose lyrics befit a change of pace and arrangement. But other times – perhaps more often – the successful slow piano cover is one that shouldn’t work on paper. Continue reading »
