T-Pain Rocks Out With Album of Covers Including Ozzy and Journey

One of my favorite things in music is when genres collide. That’s exactly what we have here with T-Pain’s newest album that came out today!

It’s called “On Top of the Covers” which is objectively hilarious!

The seven-track album, which has no auto-tune (for which T-Pain has become linked to, unfairly or not), includes covers of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin”” (above) and Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” (below)

Yep. T-Pain covering Sabbath.

Don’t be so surprised though, even though he was on the forefront of the auto-tune movement, Mr. Pain here has a voice! He showed it off a bit during a hit on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts in ’04 and then as the winner of the Masked Singer!

“This covers album has been years in the making. I started recording this right after I won The Masked Singer,” T-Pain said in a statement. “It got put on hold for a bit but now that I’m independent, I’m able to do whatever I want to do through Nappy Boy Entertainment and this is something I’ve felt strongly about for a long time. These songs are not what you’d expect when you hear that T-Pain is doing a covers album and that is what I think is cool about it.”
