Doing a cover for Depeche Mode's song "World in my eyes" from 1990. You can find it on Youtube or Spotify.
The original is a classic synth-pop song with seductive gothy vocals and looking preserve that. Feel free to take some creative liberties but the overall tone should be rather dark and sexy. Male and female vocals are both fine. The tempo is a bit slower than the original. I'm fairly certain it's in D# minor.
Vocals should be more indie than pop diva but that wasn't a choice. I'm thinking Lana Del Rey, Banks, Lauren Mayberry (Chvrches), Georgia Nott (Broods), Megan James (Purity Ring), Helen Marnie (Ladytron), Beth Gibbons (Portishead) and Romey Madley Croft (The xx). Think soft and fragile, not powerful.
The song is currently a work in progress and a bit raw at the moment. In an effort to save you all some time, I'd like you to just record the first verse and a chorus for the contest. If you win, I'd ask that you record the full songs with some vowels sounds and vocalized melodies for chopping and layering. I can be a bit particular so please factor in that I may ask for a few changes.
I've noted the times where verse 1 and the chorus kick in but please listen to the original song as well.
