Track: Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Artist: Gabriella Cilmi
MOJO says: It takes someone with a big voice to cover Paul McCartney’s controversial happy-clapping White Album tune, and 16 year-old Gabriella Cilmi possesses just that. Having been tiresomely compared to Amy Winehouse, the young Australian has already enjoyed worldwide chart action and here cooks up a spirited version of the track that provides the bridge between ska and The Beatles.
PLUS! COMPLETE THE SET...
Another 15 tracks of innovative White Album magic covered by some of the best new artists at work today can be yours very soon. Pick up The White Album Recovered Disc #2 with the October issue of MOJO - ON SALE SEPTEMBER 2!

This was pretty much what I was expecting before listening to the first two tracks. Looking back, that was a good thing. After waking up with Glass Onion, I learned to love this track all the more. A catchy guitar skip, a smooth backbeat...there's really a lot to like here.
