(Un)covered is idobi’s exclusive take on the world’s best cover songs. “Runaway Baby” Writers: Bruno Mars, Brody Brown Original Release Date: February 15, 2012 I remember hearing his perfectly smooth vocals for the first time featured on Travie McCoy’s single “Billionaire.” Now, Bruno Mars is a household name and a prominent player in my pop music addiction.

Timbaland’s R&B remix of OneRepublic’s “Apologize” helped the band break through to mainstream radio. Reimagined as a crisp and gritty song by Silverstein, this week’s (Un)covered looks at the rock cover recorded for Punk Goes Pop Volume 2.
