G. Love and Brittany Howard are rarely mentioned in the same breath, but they've contributed to American roots music in similar ways. While G. Love did so via his Philly junkyard-rap-blues aesthetic, Howard carved her place in the canon as part of the rock-and-soul band, Alabama Shakes.

Love and Howard now converge in the latest episode of ReImagined At Home. Under a clear blue sky, G. Love joyfully strums and wails Howard's hit, "Stay High," which won the 2020 GRAMMY for Best Rock Song. (It was also nominated for Best Rock Performance; in total, Howard has won five GRAMMYs and counts 16 total nominations.)

Outkast's "Hey Ya!" has been a perennial turn-up song for so long that it might be difficult to imagine it any other way.

But when it's stripped to its bare essentials — just piano, vocals and layers of drones — the classic track reveals itself as not just a throwback jam, but a breathtakingly elegant composition.

In the below video, rising singer/songwriter payton (who has already made waves as one of TikTok’s many viral teen creators) transforms the GRAMMY-winning song into a tender ballad.

Watch Payton Perform Arresting Cover Of "Hey Ya!"

Ensconced in a rustic, mood-lit room, payton and his accompanying pianist don't flip "Hey Ya!" on its head, but get to the essence of what it truly is: a pop song with melodic integrity and emotional import.

In the newest episode of ReImagined At Home, watch payton deliver an arresting performance of the six-time GRAMMY-winning duo's signature song.

Despite its bright exterior, Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" is a song of pain and revenge. Her man has stepped out with "a bleached-blonde tramp," so Underwood summarily destroys his muscle car. 

While Penelope Scott performs the tune straight — sans extraneous venom — her pentagram-festooned pullover hints that she's got a direct line to delicious menace.

"Carved my name into his leather seats/ I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights," she sings sweetly, as if offering a bouquet while hiding a knife behind her back.

When Doja Cat's 2019 album, Hot Pink, first hit speakers, the sultry, swanky "Say So" stood out immediately, a steamy jam replete with disco touchstones. 

Between Doja's lithe vocals and clever songwriting, the track rocketed immediately into both pop charts and critical acclaim, earning GRAMMY nominations for both Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year at the 2021 GRAMMY Awards.

Accessing that mystique would be a challenge for any performer, but the enigmatic, hyper-talented Wavy the Creator not only matches the original's energy but adds her own color to the track.

On the latest episode of ReImagined At Home, Wavy's take on "Say So" finds the iconoclastic artist perched in front of a digital blue sky, wreathed in wisps of cloud — her band providing an elevated approach to the song, particularly focused on the funk-laden underpinnings.
