Cover your tracks: Synthpop cover songs of 2023 – part 2

Every year around this time, I compile a list of cover songs from the world of synthpop and darkwave music. I typically include 25 tracks in my list, but this year we’re doing a whopping 50. Were there more covers released this year? I don’t know. I just got better at keeping records.

Yesterday, I shared the first 25 cover songs from my list of favorites released this year. Here are the remaining 25—once again, in alphabetical order by artists’ name. Soon, we’ll get to counting down my favorite synthpop music videos, songs, and albums of 2023.
