To celebrate International Women’s Day today, rising R&B songstress Tamera has teamed up with Amazon Music to cover Fugees’ classic track “Killing Me Softly”.
For this cover Tamera puts a spin on the single by adding her own verses; touching on hardships with her empowering lyrics – adding to it’s powerful tone.
“Really excited to be a part of this with Amazon Music for International Women’s Day,” Tamera said. “I chose to do a remake of killing me softly by Lauryn Hill because it has such a beautiful message. With my new verses I wanted to highlight the fact that hardships can make you tougher but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a tough person.
“I also love the idea of viewing your own story from someone else’s perspective and sometimes others see you in a brighter light than you see yourself. I feel like it’s easy to be super critical of yourself and at times people really do see in you what you can’t see in yourself.”
