[MP3] Eliza Shaddad: “Hideaway” (Kiesza cover)

Check out Eliza Shaddad’s take on Kiesza’s “Hideaway” with production by Turtle. In case you forgot, I featured the Sudanese/Scottish singer a little over a month ago. She’s dynamite, and so is this cover. Shaddad recently released her debut EP, Waters, via Beatnik […]

New mp3s from Jenn Mierau, including a Cure cover

Cool, frosty, distant…graceful. All adjectives that define Jenn Mierau’s entrancing electro pop sound.

Mierau, out of Montreal, is a dazzling force. Her voice is look-but-don’t-touch, teasing listeners into her fantastical world of evil. She’s dressed as a princess but her heart’s full of ice. And it’s oh so stimulating.

His newest recording, a cover of Arthur Russell‘s “This Is How We Walk on the Moon”, finds Wendler in tip-top form, with his unmistakable, breathtaking vocals. The acoustic guitar builds a […]

Cee-Lo Green covers Band Of Horses’ “No One’s Gonna Love You” in NSFW video

Cee-Lo Green, of Gnarls Barkley, has covered one of my favorite Band Of Horses‘ songs, “No One’s Gonna Love You”, for his upcoming solo record, Lady Killer, due out this Fall. While the MP3 hasn’t been made available, the music video just surfaced and it’s romantic, cinematic, sad, and awesome. And NSFW.

Sam Billen returns, covers Passion Pit

Remember our friend Sam Billen, who brilliantly covered The Postal Service’s “This Place is a Prison” (among others)? He’s now providing the latest from his covers and remix album, Removers, this time taking on Passion Pit’s “To Kingdom Come”. But what about the “fragile, melancholic ting”, you ask? Still there, don’t worry. Get Removers for […]

[MP3 + Video] Justin Vernon covers Tom Petty

Thanks to Joe from Each Note Secure, we have video of Justin Vernon covering Tom Petty’s “Crawling Back To You” at Cincinnati’s MusicNOW 2010 festival. It’s a stirring rendition, complete with an (small) orchestral backing and Vernon’s quivering voice. But his vocals actually take a back seat, as the violin and electric guitar are […]
