Over a decade ago, pop-rock band Imagine Dragons took their career to the next level with their electrifying smash "Radioactive." It became one of their highest-charting hits at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and won them a GRAMMY for Best Rock Performance in 2014.
In this episode of ReImagined, promising pop newcomer TeaMarrr covers Imagine Dragons' life-altering track, and it might just be a sign of a "Radioactive" career of her own. She remains faithful to the original recording yet adds her own twist with new harmonies, quick ad-libs and light choreography.
"I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones/ Enough to make my systems blow," TeaMarrr cheers in the chorus. "Welcome to the new age, to the new age/ I'm radioactive, radioactive."
On Nov. 17, TeaMarrr dropped her debut studio album, You Should Prolly Sit Down For This, via Raedio, Issa Rae's imprint label in partnership with Atlantic Records.
"I want people to heal themselves with my sound," she explains in her artist biography. "I hope they walk away, thinking, 'TeaMarrr is my new musical pharmacist.' My catalog will heal whatever mood you're in."
