it’s funny how a cheesy pop song can be re-imagined as a heart-wrenching acoustic ballad. travis did it several years ago when they recorded a brilliant, tongue-in-cheek unplugged version of britney’s “baby, one more time.” this time, it’s kylie minogue’s classic “hand on your heart” getting the treatment by a swedish singer-songwriter called jose gonzales.
the track is currently in rotation on the u.k.’s radio 1, and gonzales has even done a video for it. i can’t decide exactly what i think about this, especially since it seems like this guy is sort of capitalizing on the intense level of public interest in kylie at the moment… but still, knowing that the song is getting some airplay brings a smile to my face.
for old time’s sake, check out the kylie video. you know you want to.
