It’s rare when a cover is so unique that it creates its own identity. Leave it to ASTR to be one of those rarities with its cover of the Drake track, “Hold On We’re Going Home.” This may be the most top 40-ish track to creep its way onto EWH (and it does sting a little), but if any band could do it, it would be the sultry, synth pop duo, ASTR. Focusing on sharpening the beat and flooding the track with waves of lush synths and lead singer Zoe’s foggy, understated intonation, ASTR turns “Hold On We’re Going Home” from standard pop fare into R&B perfection. Enjoy.
