Denver-based duo Tennis have shared a new cover version of the classic song ‘Superstar’ by The Carpenters. Giving the cut a taste of their own personal magic, including adding a distinctive bridge in the remake, Tennis brings the tune into the world of indie pop with singer Alaina Moore’s beautiful vocals making this new version truly a listening delight.

Regarding the track, Alaina Moore said:

“Karen Carpenter is a major influence on my writing. Her voice is so distinctive, I can always imagine her interpretation of a song regardless of genre. Our goal with ‘Superstar’ was to re-cast her voice in the context of a different band in a different era. This led us to take a lot of liberties, including writing a bridge that doesn’t exist in the original. The result is something that doesn’t really sound like Tennis or the Carpenters, which we really liked. I feel a strong pull toward women whose creative contributions were cut short by their untimely deaths – Laura Nyro, Judee Sill, Trish Keenan, and of course Karen Carpenter. This song is really just me carrying a torch for her.”
