It's no longer news that the internet is filled with talents hoping to jumpstart their singing careers by covering popular songs and posting them on YouTube (hello, Justin Bieber & Banky W). And yes, there are established artists who decide to do covers too, but there's usually something enthralling about hearing a complete stranger churn out favorite hits from your favorite artists, especially when they make it sound almost better than the original.

Here, we have highlighted the best of most recent covers released this 2020, and the award of best cover goes to Olabodefolk, whose entry will make you want to research everything you can about him immediately.

Olabodefolk's guitar laced soulful rendition of "Lagos Anthem" might be extremely short but it seems enough for Zlatan Ibile himself, who liked, commented and followed Olabodefolk on Instagram just minutes after uploading the video post.
