MGK and Julia Wolf Reimagine “Iris” by Goo Goo Dolls in Emotional New Cover
MGK and Julia Wolf rework the Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris” with raw emotion, honoring the original with a modern touch.
MGK and Julia Wolf have released a heartfelt, reimagined cover of the Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris,” breathing new life into the 1998 classic with live instrumentation and emotionally charged vocals.
MGK, known for his ability to blur the lines between rock, hip-hop, and alternative, delivers an intensely vulnerable performance, while Julia Wolf complements the mood with her soft, expressive voice. Together, they create a duet that respects the original while reinterpreting it through a modern, emotionally driven lens.
Live guitars and minimal production keep the focus on the emotional dynamics of the performance. It’s a bold move for both artists and one that emphasizes their mutual dedication to authentic musical expression.
The original “Iris” is a song that has long stood as a symbol of longing and emotional transparency. This version by MGK and Wolf carries that same spirit, but with a distinct twist that reflects the musical climate of today.
It’s a tribute and a reimagination—one that offers a new way to experience a song that has lived in listeners’ hearts for decades.
