Almost two decades ago, Irish-Scottish alt-rock band Snow Patrol became one of the leaders of the 21st century Britpop revival with their hit single "Chasing Cars." Thanks to a placement on Grey's Anatomy, "Chasing Cars" skyrocketed to global success, later snagging a Best Rock Song nomination at the 2007 GRAMMY Awards.
In this episode of ReImagined, pop singer Wrabel offers a beautiful rendition of the mid-2000s smash. While he remains true to the song's original composition, Wrabel adds his own sonic twist with a stripped-down performance, using only his acoustic guitar and soothing vocal tone.
Wrabel has gained a loyal following since releasing his debut EP, Sideways, in 2014. His latest EP, chapter of me, arrived in April, and the singer already delivered another single, "Turn Up the Love," less than a month later. Wrabel also has a prolific career in songwriting, previously collaborating with stars like Kesha and P!nk.
On June 23, Wrabel will perform in Dallas as part of the AT&T Turn Up the Love Tour, alongside Years & Years, Slayyyter, and more. The tour — which highlights LGBTQ+ musicians supporting The Trevor Project — also stopped in Chicago on June 10 and San Francisco on June 17.
