If you don’t own a copy of Wes Carr’s album The Way The World Looks, or you just can’t get enough of the reigning Australian Idol champ, listen up. The album will be repackaged as a two-disc set, which features a collection of covers titled Under the Influence.
The really exciting thing is that it’s not simply the songs Wes covered on Idol. Instead, Wes has put his signature stamp on the songs which influenced his musical journey. The disc features a remake of Joe Jackson’s “Is She Really Going Out With Him,” which you may have heard in the opening credits of Beauty & The Geek. Surely I’m not the only one who’s been suckered into that reality TV show! There’s also a stripped back acoustic version of Wes’ own hit, “Love is an Animal.”
