Cover of an Original song
Jumpstart will be covering "Lovesick" by Peace.
Why it is suitable for our artist
We have chosen this song, because, as you can see above this song is quite new. This is essential for an indie band as the indie genre moves very quickly with trends, so picking a reasonably new song will ensure they appeal to the small niche market that many bands are also trying to hit. The song also fits into the "Indie-pop" genre, which is the niche that we are trying to appeal to, as it uses some catchy tunes and a repetitive chorus to appeal to the target market.
Another reason for picking this song is that it has had previous musical success, as Peace are a popular indie band and have been nominated for the NME New Music Award. Picking a song that has had previous success is also essential, as we need to know we have a solid base to work on and that we can potentially improve upon the original song and make it appeal to the target market more, hopefully making our band more successful.

How we will adapt it to appeal to our target market
Jumpstart will adapt this song firstly, by changing the vocal sound. Because our band is more northern than Peace, the song will have a different sound as the regional accent is different. This will provide a fresh sound for indie fans to listen to, and hopefully our version will appeal to them more than the original. We will also try to lengthen the song,a little, as it is quite short at only just over 2 minutes, so if we add another chorus or verse then we can make the song longer and hopefully this will help to appeal to our target market, as the song will be more catchy and infectious, and this is something our target market likes.
