Poppy’s cover of Alanis Morissette’s “Hand In My Pocket” for the film Mile End Kicks adds a new, electronic-tinged twist to this classic song. Poppy, known for her genre-defying style, has taken on various artists over the years, demonstrating her ability to craft unique sounds and reimagine existing works. Her recent cover of Wham!’s “Last Christmas” showcased a different side to her musical repertoire, and now with this rendition of “Hand In My Pocket,” she continues to surprise audiences.
“Hand In My Pocket,” originally penned by Morissette and Glen Ballard, gained popularity as the third single from Morissette’s famous album “Jagged Little Pill.” The soundtrack to Chandler Levack’s Mile End Kicks includes this version of the song, providing a fresh take on a beloved classic. Collaborating with producer Mike Elizondo, known for his work with a variety of artists, Poppy strips down the instrumentation of the original track, opting for a more minimalist approach with electronic elements reminiscent of Trent Reznor’s style. While the drums have a bit more punch, the overall essence of the song remains intact. This rendition stays true to the original lyrics, respecting the legacy of the iconic piece.
