Throughout the month of November, we’re speaking to the artists who contributed to the 44-song collection about the songs they covered. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by the Beach Boys is about as close to a national anthem for pop music as you can get.

His cover of the 1966 song maintains the funhouse atmosphere while stripping things down — the song's foundation is built on NNAMDÏ's acoustic guitar and a flood of vocal harmonies.
By any measure, it's a bold choice to forefront one's voice on a staple like "Wouldn't It Be Nice," but NNAMDÏ doesn't miss a note. Listen to the song below and buy the full album on Bandcamp.
