Tracklisting and full tour dates can be found below. Nine of the tracks on Covers 80s feature the vocals of singer/songwriter Rachael Yamagata. There is also an appearance from singer/songwriters Holly Brook, who is also known to Top 40 listeners as Skylar Grey. About the album, Sheik says "It is nice to sing these songs that are written by other people...you're inhabiting this other character that isn't you, but in this case, it is a part of what made me who I am." He adds,"The litmus test for me for choosing the songs was: 'did I really, really care about it when I was 15 or 16?" Track Listing for Covers 80s:
