Listen to Ganou’s angelic rendition of “Blank Space” by Taylor Swift

Philly’s Ganou definitely decided to cover the right artist. Taylor Swift is one of the most prominent faces in American music and her transformation from a modest country singer to lustrous pop star is compelling; her songs, though, aren’t the easiest to cover unless the artist doing it puts a unique spin on them.

That’s exactly what Ganou does with “Blank Space.” Stepping back from the very poppy production that’s became a mainstay in Swift’s sound, she presents a more spaced out and vocal-driven version executed with ease and confidence.  The smooth and melodic nature of the song seems to be Ganou’s bread and butter – you can hear it in all over her recordings: her singles, as well her 10-track Catharsis EP and her Key Studio Session from last year.
