The biggest issue when covering any Beatles song is whether to stay faithful or not. If one stays faithful, it’s impossible to match the original. If you drift too far away, you risk tampering with a good thing. The 19 years old MonaLisa Twins, with their greatest musical influence being the Beatles and other 60s musicians, have undertaken this challenge and ended up with surprisingly outstanding results.
On YouTube their covers have superb rankings for search terms like “song title cover” and even “Beatles cover”, for which their version of “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” is number one in many countries. Other songs of this new album are among the first 20 videos too.
Although this album is not about delivering the best studio cover album they could possibly produce as of now - “MonaLisa Twins play Beatles & more” is a fan requested compilation of live and studio recordings the twins did over the last four years. Since their 2012 debut album “When We’re Together”, which got great reviews on well-known music blogs/magazines as well, they do lots of live shows and music videos, which garnered nearly 2.5 million YouTube views and thousands of YouTube and Facebook subscribers.
Radio stations all over the world are playing their music, and while their new CD is being announced the twins are on an Ireland/UK duo tour with plans to return for a bigger tour with their whole band later.
