Creep - Vintage Postmodern Jukebox Radiohead Cover Ft. Haley Reinhart May 2026
Haley Reinhart 's rendition of Radiohead's "Creep" with Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox (PMJ) is widely considered a defining moment for the collective, having surpassed 100 million views on YouTube. Recorded in a single take in a Zurich studio during a day off from their European tour, the performance reimagines the 1992 grunge anthem as a 1930s-inspired jazz torch song. Performance and Vocal Analysis
: Reinhart utilizes her signature "meaty, throaty growl" and natural rasp, which critics from the LA Times and various vocal coaches describe as a "masterful interpretation".
: The performance begins with a delicate, breathy tone and escalates into a powerful, soul-baring climax that mirrors the emotional arc of the original, yet within a vintage jazz framework.
: Critics note her ability to transform the lyrics from "raging self-pity" into a "smoky jazz confession," making listeners focus on the emotional depth rather than the specific grunge-era "weirdo" tropes. Arrangement and Instrumentation
