imy2’s Fresh Take on Ace of Base’s “The Sign” – A Cover That Hits All the Right Notes
There’s nothing quite like the feeling when a song from the past suddenly feels brand new. With their version of Ace of Base’s “The Sign,” Nashville group imy2 taps right into that rush of discovery, giving a beloved ‘90s classic a soulful, stripped-back twist. The lyrics that made listeners sing along decades ago still hit home today, lines about seeing things clearly and finding the strength to move on. This cover, is more than just a throwback; it’s a vibrant, living moment.
Why This Cover Stands Out: imy2’s Unique Spin
What sets imy2’s “The Sign” apart is the way every lyric rings true. Where the Ace of Base original was crisp and bright, this cover draws out the longing and relief at the center of the song. Instead of hiding behind synths and big beats, the focus is on the human voice and its honesty.
Take the line “I am happy now I’ll live it without you.” It’s sung with a softness that’s more powerful than shouting. That’s the sound of someone who’s made peace with the past. The repetition in the closing verses, “I saw the side and it opened up my eyes”, builds and spreads, like a sunrise filling the room.
I am happy now I’ll live it without you I left you; I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes.

The song ends gentle, but strong. It doesn’t just copy a classic; it reimagines it, with every echoing chorus reminding listeners of what it means to let go and move forward on their own.
imy2’s attention to sound is part of what makes the cover stand out. The clear, close-up vocal capture is no accident. The production credits Travis Humbert for mixing and engineering, and the team uses gear like the microphone featured here. For fans who love the behind-the-scenes, knowing the tools adds another reason to appreciate that warm, intimate sound.
