Weezer – Teal Album

Description

New 10-Track Covers Album Inspired by the Reception to the Band’s Viral Sensation Take on Toto’s “Africa”!

Throughout a sold-out tour of the US in summer 2018,Weezerbegan working covers into their set, ranging from “Take On Me” by a-ha to “Happy Together” by The Turtles, in addition to their massive cover of “Africa” by Toto, which became a viral sensation upon its release earlier that year. Given the tremendous response to these songs at the shows, the band was inspired to put together a covers album – and thusWeezer (The Teal Album)was born! Preceding the band’s new album,Weezer (The Black Album), additional ’80s/’90s gems are also tackled here including The Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This),” Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” and “No Scrubs” by TLC while the band reached further back for Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid,” ELO’s “Mr. Blue Sky” and Ben E. King’s “Stand By Me.”
