Didn’t think I needed a blues-soul version of Dance Monkey until Bette Smith delivered one that growls, howls, and flips the whole thing on its head.
Killer vocals, total swagger.

Bette Smith – I Want to Know What Love Is
Her take on the Foreigner hit , stripped of 80s polish and rebuilt with gospel grit and soul power. A cover that feels lived in, not borrowed.

Bette Smith – “Manchild”
Raw, bold, and unapologetically loud. Bette Smith’s “Manchild” struts in with fuzzed-out swagger and a voice that doesn’t ask — it commands.

Bette Smith & Kirk Fletcher – Dance Monkey (2020)

This blues-soul cover of Tones and I’s hit transforms the track with Smith’s powerhouse vocals and Fletcher’s expressive guitar. A raw, soulful reimagining that adds grit and depth.
