Their multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated, chart-topping record “Don’t Speak” stands as a generational anthem, still capable of igniting spirits among crowds in today’s era. As No Doubt prepares to reunite after nearly a decade at Coachella Music Festival next month, their legacy continues to withstand the test of time – highlighted by Jessica Audiffred and GG Magree’s powerful electronic cover of “Don’t Speak,” which adds a modern twist to the band’s timeless classic.
Why did you choose this track for a remix/cover?
- J: Me and GG were trying to think about the perfect cover and we had tons of options but we decided on “Don’t Speak” because it represented a lot of nostalgia for both of us and women empowerment, we wanted to take the track to a different level.
- G: We grew up on No Doubt, and Gwen embodies both Jessica and I as performers. She’s ass and has a perfect balance of masculine and feminine which we both resonate with as performers.
What other icons do you have that inspired your act over the years?
- J: Rosalia has been a true inspiration to me over the past 3 years, she embodies artistry in such a special way, also Blackpink, Bad Gyal, Excision, and Skrillex.
- G: Slipknot, Parkway Drive, The Veronicas, Miley Cyrus, Avril Lavigne, Britney Spears
How was working with GG? What was the process like?
- J: It was incredible, everything was flowing so nicely and GG knew exactly what I had in mind for the vibe of the vocals on the track.
How do you usually approach a remix/cover?
- J: I try to incorporate everything I see when I play at festivals/clubs and my own vision, when I have a clear understanding of both, that’s when I come up with the concept for the remix/cover.
- G: I recorded the whole thing as an acoustic with electric guitars and let Jessica do her thing sonically. The song speaks a lot to me lyrically so I was able to embody the emotion on it and add my own GG spin vocally.
What other tracks would you like to remix/cover?
- J: We would love to revive all the 90s catalogue haha, me and GG have similar taste and for me it would be amazing to cover Garbage.
- G: We have talked about doing Eve, Eminem, Britney Spears lots of others. Jess and I have very similar 90s musical taste.
