Sunday Girl – Where Is My Mind (Pixies Cover)

I don’t know too much about this chick Sunday Girl other than the fact that she hails from the UK, has a drop-dead sexy voice and she’s all over YouTube. While mindlessly scouring the web for some mind-numbingly entertaining videos, I accidentally stumbled upon her cover of “Where Is My Mind”, and it blew me away. She nailed it. This joint has been my guilty pleasure for too long, and I still love it. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Sunday Girl – Where Is My Mind (Pixies Cover) Tweet

Coldplay – We Found Love (Rihanna Cover)

I might lose some fans for life by posting this one; apologies in advance to those who will be offended. Coldplay swung by BBC’s Radio 1 Live Lounge the other day, and they pulled out a cover of Rihanna and Calvin Harris’ smash “We Found Love”. Get rid of the Calvin Harris electronic beat, and add in Chris Martin’s instantly recognizable vocals, and you have your result.

Bon Iver – I Can’t Make You Love Me (Live on Jimmy Fallon)

It’s so great seeing Justin Vernon get the publicity and respect that he deserves. His kind of talent is hard to come by, and while his first album was immensely popular amongst the underground scene, he needed that extra push to really gain everyone’s attention. That push came from Kanye West; and since collaborating with him on Kanye’s most recent CD, he’s had significantly more public visibility. Perfect timing, as Bon Iver’s follow-up, self-titled album is released to the masses in June. Here, he performs a cover of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me”, and puts his talent … Continue reading

Chet Faker – No Diggity (Cover)

Google image Chet Faker and tell me that this is not the most prominent result. I have no idea if the scraggly dude above is the Australian electronic artist with the smooth vocals found in this “No Diggity” cover; but that’s neither here nor there. All that matters is that this cover is a great listen, and is undeniably worth the download. Check it out for yourself below.

John Legend – Rolling In The Deep (Adele Cover)

Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” has easily been the most popular song to cover/remix so far this year. It seems like everyone’s taking a stab at the catchy single, and John Legend might have just taken the top spot (behind Adele herself of course). This guy is obscenely talented, and he showcases his talents front and center here. Hit the stream and download below.

Cris Cab – All Of The Lights (Cover)

Cris Cab is a 17 year-old coming out of Miami, and he’s about to explode onto the American music scene; that’s a fact. He adds a reggae/acoustic vibe to Kanye West’s “All Of The Lights”, and it’s undeniably awesome. Apparently Pharrell sought him out, dug his style, and they’re currently working on his debut album together….which all but guarantees mainstream success down the line. Check out his cover of Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow” as well, and I dare you to tell me he’s not about to be huge. Hit the jump for the official video of “All Of The … Continue reading

Vampire Weekend – Fight For This Love (Cover)

A little feel-good cover here from Vampire Weekend to start my Wednesday. They take on Cheryl Cole of all people, and sprinkle their suburban rock sound all over her track “Fight For This Love”. A good listen; hit the stream and download below. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Vampire Weekend – Fight For This Love (Cover) [via] Tweet

Freedom or Death – Rule The World (Nas Cover)

Here we have a haunting, yet addicting cover of Nas’ famous track “If I Ruled The World”. Freedom or Death is a duo coming out of Toronto, and they’ve completely changed the feel of Nas’ song (obviously, as it’s acoustic/hipster as shit), but they’re still able to capture the essence of the original. Hit the stream and download below. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Freedom or Death – Rule The World (Nas Cover) [via] Tweet

Ellie Goulding – Only Girl (In The World) (BBC Lounge – Rihanna Cover)

Ellie, I don’t know how to put this. I just…I love your body. I think we should get together, me and you…you and me. I’ll meet you in London, you can meet me in Boston… I don’t care. I just think we need to meet up and see if this relationship is as special as I believe it could be. Give me a call, we’ll work out the logistics. Love, Chuck Download: Ellie Goulding – Only Girl (In The World) (BBC Lounge – Rihanna Cover) Tweet

Gorillaz – Crystalised (The xx Cover)

Gorillaz swung by the BBC Live Lounge a few days ago to play a few songs, one of which was a cover of The xx’s “Crystalised”. I’m always a huge fan of impromptu covers, and I’d be excited to see Gorillaz take on anything from The xx. Watch the video above, and snag the mp3 below.
