Charming Liars release video for cover of Elton John’s I’m Still Standing

May 2, 2017

Alternative rockers Charming Liars from Southern California have just released a video for their cover of Elton John’s classic “I’m Still Standing“. They’ll also be donating half of the proceeds from the song to MusiCares^®, a charity of The Recording Academy^® dedicated to providing a wide range of health and human services programs including emergency financial assistance, addiction recovery resources, and wellness initiatives to members of the music community. This partnership is especially meaningful, since Elton John was honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year in 2000, at its signature fundraising gala held during GRAMMY^® Week two nights prior to Annual GRAMMY Awards^®

Check out the video here:

It is an awesome cover that they really brought their own sound to. We will have to add it to our next list of best remakes/covers! Charming Liars vocalist Kiliyan Maguire comments,

“I grew up on Elton John and he has a million great songs, so to pick one was difficult. But we knew we wanted to cover something different, one that not many people had covered. The lyrics spoke to us, as everyone’s been through something and so have we. To find a song that was so upbeat and powerful and just strip it down to really give it a bone-chilling feel when you listen to it. It’s a great song to let people know we’re here and ready to do some work”.

Charming Liars are currently in the mixing stage of their debut album that will be released later this year. For More information on Charming Liars please visit: www.charmingliars.com and to download or stream “I’m Still Standing” visit: www.fanlink.to/ImStillStanding.
