One of R.E.M's most popular songs, Losing my Religion, gets a classical crossover version by Aline Happ. The beautiful vocals match with the melancholic lyrics of the American alternative rock band. Aline Happ's version brings elements of folk and Celtic music, including instruments such as harp and flute. The song was released on Aline Happ's YouTube channel, which already has versions of Scorpions, Linkin Park, Metallica, among others.

 

“R.E.M already had a folk influence, so I wanted to make it even more present, adding Celtic elements to this classical crossover version. Percussion, harp, synthesizers and flute helped me to create a more ethereal and medieval atmosphere.”, says Aline Happ about the track.

 


The videos posted on Aline Happ's channel are sponsored by her fans on Patreon.
