It is no surprise the Ellie Goulding’s rendition of the Weeknd’s ‘High For This’ has taken off becoming one of the most talked about covers of the summer. Today we bring you a relaxing edit/remix from Vancouver producer KTHX. Enjoy
The sweet and talented Australian folk singer Julia Stone captivated us alongside her brother in the folk-blues duo Angus and Julia Stone. The emotionally induced single ‘Big Jet Plane’ still gives us goosebumps to this day. However, Julia has experienced success undergoing her own solo projects, just releasing her second album ‘By the Horns’ on May 29th. The new album includes a cover of The National’s 2010 heartfelt single “Bloodbuzz Ohio.” of High Violet. Julia Stone brings her soothing high vocals that softly lay on top of soft guitar pickings, light percussions and tranquil piano notes.
Just yesterday we blogged a soothing cover by Ellie Goulding (produced by Xaphoon Jones) for ‘High For This’ by hip/hop group Weeknd. And quite literally overnight, Los Angeles 19-year-old producer PatrickReza was able to craft a dubstep track to make it justice. This new rendition is not a big departure from the original, but the simplistic production helps the vocals stand out amongst the wobbles sloshing in the background.
You are about to listen to a gorgeous rendition from the exquisitely talented English singer Ellie Goulding, covering The Weeknd’s ‘High For This’. With the help of Chiddy Bang producer Xaphoon Jones, the two lay a memorable cover from one of the most buzzed hip/hop group of the last 12 months. Listen and download below.
Piano covers are particularly interesting as they often expose the underlying composition and structure of a track. The most successful producer in electronic dance music are often the ones that employ a level of classical understanding to their note progressions and melodies (Wolfgang Gartner, Deadmau5, Porter Robinson). Evan Duffy is a composer from Virginia who just few hours ago uploaded this clip of him covering Deadmua5’s The Veldt. The delicate and stripped away rendition by Evan of one of the most popular songs this summer is a wonderful reminder of how the basic elements in music are often the most powerful.
A completely surprising yet equally welcomed cover of one of the biggest (and most overplayed) party anthems from LMFAO.
Unsigned Americana-acoustic artist Noah confronts the dance tune head on, bringing us one of the most genuine renditions of “Sexy and I Know It”. His talented smokey voice paired with quite acoustic guitar strums breaths fresh air into the already worn out single. Download below.
Vocalist Maggie Horn and producer Sammy Bananas make up Telephoned, a Brooklyn-based duo with a knack for delicious pop originals and covers.
Their latest project is a reimagining of Fun.’s mega hit, “We Are Young,” where Horn’s smooth vocals glide over Sammy’s Top Gun-style synth backdrop, eventually giving way to a big bouncy club beat.
