You can listen to the cover below.The Sims has a long tradition of inviting artists to cover their songs in Simlish.
In the past, the likes of Katy Perry, Lily Allen and My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way have recorded their tracks for the life simulator series.Musicians on The Sims 4 include Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, mxmtoon, and Soccer Mommy.Speaking to NME, Smart said that he “didn’t fully understand” The Sims before working on it, and “had a chuckle” when Electronic Arts invited him to record ‘See Through’ in Simlish.“I wasn’t sure exactly what it would entail or what it meant for a song of mine to be in the video game but was stoked to try something new,” he shared. “I always try to not take music so seriously and this was a very enjoyable opportunity to have fun with music and do something I hadn’t done before.”Smart added that it was “really fun” to have his lyrics translated into Simlish.
“I was thinking in the Simlish language for a little while after recording it, very surreal thing,” he shared.As for why the track was chosen for The Sims, Smart described it as “quite an easy song to groove to”.“It’s already a little playful in the phrasing and melody so I honestly think it was fitting to sing it in Simlish and have it soundtrack an alternate universe,” he explained.Looking ahead, Smart is keen to get one of his tracks featured in FIFA, another of EA‘s titles until the developer parted ways with the real FIFA last year. “I don’t really play football

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic A short film that actor-turned-director Kristen Stewart made with the group Boygenius got an official Hollywood sendoff Thursday night at the El Rey Theatre, with a film premiere that also doubled as a launch party for the indie-rock trio’s new album, “The Record.” Stewart did not participate in the Q&A that Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus did with members of the press and public after the screening, but she stepped out to introduce the short film, which is essentially an interlocking combination of music videos for three songs from the new album: “$20,” “Emily I’m Sorry” and “True Blue.” The imagery is sometimes sentimental, sometimes bracing and vivid. Bridgers sings “Emily I’m Sorry” in front of a monster truck rally. Palms are cut for a blood oath. And there is some lip-locking through copious blue paint.
