Not really a cover or remake but this seems as good a place as any. I've recently found the NPR music Tiny Desk Concerts on youtube. They are really cool and there are a ton of them.

Something moderately different from the original. I quite like it. She has a pretty powerful voice!

Even more wishy-washy than the original in my view (wouldn't life be boring if everyone had the same musical taste 😁) but certainly easy on the eye.

Thanks for explaining "plethora".

It means a lot.

very few covers or remakes that stand up to the test of time.
Most are quickly forgotten, while the original lives on as popular as ever.

When I hear remakes, it usually just shows to me how good the original was & I want to hear the original instead.
Honestly, it erks me the amount of radio time cover versions get . Often that band had run out of ideas & released a cover instead (eg FFDP ).

I really like this , 'Can't Let Go' . They are a cover band .

I also like the Hollies version also a cover version , better than the original .

Or basically anything from Like a Version on Triple J pretty much.

EDIT: Link helps https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCC51BF0C94BE62E8

I haven't found an parallel for Triple J in NZ so far so my smart speaker in the kitchen streams it from the moment I wake.

I made a whole playlist of covers after going down a epic cover rabbit hole. Pop songs boosted by movies theme music. Was a bit of a gas.

That list should keep me quiet for a bit.

...depending on where the volume dial is situated of course.

To be fair, Tokio Myers aren’t really covers
