Under the Covers: Kawehi / Nirvana

Your weekly dose of genre-bending with your favorite WBRU artists/songs! From the genuinely good to the what-the-hell weird, we got you covered.

YouTuber Kawehi reimagines Nirvana’s classic “Heart-Shaped Box” using looped vocals and various audio effects for this inventive live performance. Making use of a MIDI keyboard and an Ableton/Novation Launchpad, Kawehi breathes new life into the song, playing it like you’ve never heard before. Contrary to some YouTube comments, no, that’s not what autotune is.
