Here’s Miguel Covering Pussy Riot’s Make America Great Again
EntertainmentThe latest in Miguel’s recurring series of a cappella covers is Pussy Riot’s recently released track, “Make America Great Again.” The jam is off their 2016 album xxx, and though I think we can all agree that Miguel’s version is more than just a “shitty emo cover,” he is right that you gotta check out the original song—and more specifically, the video. It’s vaguely reminiscent of Lady Gaga’s “Telephone,” with cartoonishly bright colors sharply contrasted against the cruel, institutional backdrop of prison.
