Musical Monday with Daisy Gray and Chris Isaak

In 2015, a young singer named Daisy Gray uploaded her cover of Chris Isaak's 1989 "Wicked Game" to YouTube. It became popular, and she followed it with several more songs. Five years later, in February of 2020, she uploaded a rather nicely done video for the song that she described as a tribute to the one that supported the original Isaac song back. But, instead of focusing on Gray's beautiful voice and the artistic photography in the video, many YouTubers of 2020 instead went into hysterics over the fact that she's--GASP!--smoking cigarette in the video!

Personally, I find it far more troubling that she's gone to the beach in her underwear... but then I'm not prone to hysterical outrage over every little thing. Here's Gray's beautiful cover, as well as her new video to go along with it.



Here's the original video and Chris Isaak's original song. Personally, I find that I prefer Daisy Gray's version, but take a listen/look and tell me what you think.
