It didn't take long for "Swimming Pools" remixes to run out of favor shortly after its release, but as far as covers go, there were never any that really stood out from what we can remember. Today however, the LA-based singer, Sarah Winter, is here to set the bar with her head-turning take on Kendrick Lamar's smash single. At face value, a female vocalist covering "Swimming Pools" will elicit listens based on the curiosity alone. This cover from Sarah Winters is no gimmick or ploy for clicks, though; it's simply a talented artist showcasing what creativity she's at her disposal. So if you found yourself curious wondering what this cover would sound like, it's safe to say that you're going to be pleasantly surprised, because Sarah Winters did an amazing job with her rendition of the track. And don't expect some strictly indie-folk vibe here either, because once the beat kicks in, you won't be near any acoustic guitars or the like.
