We all love the movie Grease - cheese on tap we can’t help but sing along to. However, these covers have been done to death so it’s a rare and refreshing thing when one is as good as Xavier Dunn’s.

His rendition of "One That I Want" is indie electro in its prime. A cool crescendo of Bon Iver vocals and Alt-J style that completely opposes that of the 1978 number. Dunn’s rendition loosely grasps the melody, something a lot of cover artists are afraid of, and has created something completely unique in doing so.

It’s simplistic tones and breezy pace give the cheesy musical track some edge. It’s the most inspiring cover of a Grease track I think I’ve ever heard.
