A "cover version" refers to a new recording of a song that was originally written and performed by another artist. When an artist creates a cover, they typically reinterpret the song, which can involve changes in style, arrangement, and even lyrics, although the core composition remains the same. Covers can vary widely in their fidelity to the original. Some are very close reproductions, while others may take significant creative liberties, transforming the song into a different genre or style.
