Paul Anka - Rock Swings -flac--tntvillage- New! Jun 2026

Anka, a legendary crooner from the "Rat Pack" era, chose a repertoire that seemed fundamentally incompatible with his style. The tracklist includes Nirvana’s "Smells Like Teen Spirit," Soundgarden’s "Black Hole Sun," and Van Halen’s "Jump." Rather than treating these songs as kitschy parodies, Anka approached them with orchestral seriousness. He stripped away the distorted guitars and angst-ridden vocals, replacing them with lush brass arrangements and his signature velvet delivery.

Also included: “The Way You Make Me Feel” (Michael Jackson), “Hello” (Lionel Richie), “It’s a Sin” (Pet Shop Boys), and “Tears in Heaven” (Eric Clapton)—all stripped of their original production and dipped in gold lamé. Paul Anka - Rock Swings -Flac--TntVillage-

Unlike typical "novelty" cover albums, Anka approached these sessions with a serious musical intent, utilizing world-class rhythm sections and big band brass.
