One of my favorite new groups on the scene is London Grammar and here’s they’ve just released this video of their Kavinsky cover for “Nightcall.” Great stuff, though if we’re talking LG covers, I have to mention their epic take on Chris Isaak too:
Woah.
Ellie’s video for her cover of Alt-J’s “Tessellate” is great. Â Super sexy record, plus black and white stylish shots of Paris? Â Yep!
While I don’t think anyone is capable of improving on Frank Ocean’s flawless original, I was happy to see Yuna cover “Thinkin’ Bout You.” She came with a unique twist on it and it turned out dope. There’s a rumor that a certain Seattle based radio show might be linking up with Yuna in a few days for an interview and exclusive acoustic performance…
Following up on his XXL Freshmen cover, Mack releases his new video with Ryan Lewis for “Victory Lap,” showing that his rise to stardom has been in the works far longer than just the past year. Obviously everyone in Seattle knows this firsthand, but this video should help tell that story to the rest of Mack’s rapidly growing fan base. So proud of these two guys for absolutely killing it…for years!
Absolutely love this cover of Joni Mitchell’s classic. The original is below if you’re unfamiliar…
I’ve been meaning to post this up since last week, but I’ve been caught up in the post-Thanksgiving madness. Florence kills this version of Drake and Rihanna’s soon to be smash in this live performance for BBC Radio 1. As I’ve mentioned on Twitter, I can’t tell whether I live it and then Drake puts it in to song, or he writes about it and then it happens to me. Either way, I’m pretty sure he owes me royalties on my life right now.
This is my favorite song out right now, shout to Rob Stone and the Cornerstone homies for putting me up on this. I may or may not have a crush on Yuna too. Here’s the original, beyond classic unplugged version from Nirvana, just for good old times sake:
On Graduation, Kanye’s goal was to create stadium anthems (remember the line, “stadium status”?) and it seems with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, he’s crossed over to the orchestral world. Opera house status doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, but the music sure sounds perfect.
I know a few…
