We’re suckers for hit songs in unexpected styles. This performance that mashed up Adele with Mozart is still knocking around our heads. Now, Postmodern Jukebox has a cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me A River.” We’ve featured them before, for this amazing Miley Cyrus cover, but they’ve really outdone themselves this time.
Singer Von Smith turns Timberlake’s breakup banger into a sadder, more intimate portrait of a relationship gone bad. If Timberlake’s song and its accompanying video are a brutal evisceration of Britney Spears after she broke Timberlake’s heart, Smith’s version wouldn’t sound out of place in a Sun Records compilation.
It also doesn’t hurt that Smith is no vocal slouch. He might not have Timberlake’s singing and dancing combination, but he’s perfect here. Check it out below.
