“Bustified, Vol. 2 (Cover)” By Buster Sylvester Flips Pop Hits Into Disco Sermons And Afrobeat Confessions

Who needs nostalgia when you have Buster Sylvester turning your favourite hits into dancefloor sermons?

Buster Sylvester has released his new EP, "Bustified, Vol. 2 (Cover)". In this, he returns with covers of seven iconic hits. He twists them into glammed up monsters that feel both retro and future forward.

At first glance, taking on the likes of Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Harry Styles and Backstreet Boys might seem like a risky business. But Buster does not tiptoe. Instead his dances in, platform boots first. He turns these pop classics into outrageous dancefloor sermons. The first song "Man in the Mirror" is flipped into a disco song. Then there is "Espresso", which gets an Afrobeat injection. Here Buster channels peak charisma, infusing sass and swing in equal measure. His "Back for Good" cover turns the 90s boyband ballad into a redemption song that does not just ask for forgiveness. It makes you want to forgive and boogie on.

The most surprising transformation comes with "Baby One More Time". Britney's schoolgirl angst is replaced with Motown inspired reimagining. It is sultry, introspective and cool. Similarly, "Girls Like You" by Maroon 5 evolves into a Studio 54 worthy song.

Buster's take on "Watermelon Sugar" does not just reinterpret. Instead it reinvents. The song has been transformed into a slow burn song that is perfect for late night dancefloor confessions. The EP closes with a stunner, "As Long As You Love Me". It is draped in glitzy funk gold.

Buster's complete refusal to play safe, sets the "Bustified, Vol. 2 (Cover)" apart. These are fully fledged transformations. Each song carries his production signature. There is also a subtle humour that runs throughout.

"This album celebrates the flexibility of pop music."

Buster proves that nostalgia is not just for reminiscing. It is for remixing, reimagining, and reclaiming. "Bustified, Vol. 2 (Cover)" has something for anyone who believes music should be fun, fierce, and fearless. Buster Sylvester reminds us that pop isn't dead. It just needed a little more funk and a lot more flair.
