Karina Mia

I love finding new music. The other day I came across this sweet song by Karina Mia. She sings well and has a really cool style. This song is kinda all over the place but I like that about it, especially the tempo changes. Also, her upcoming EP is being co-produced by Josh Scogin, one of my favourite musicians. Sold.

Good Ol' Cover Songs

Covers are a tricky thing. There is often a lot of potential to breathe new life into an old classic, but more often than not covers seem to do the opposite. I'm not usually a fan of covers but once in a while a song like Birdy's rendition of "Skinny Love" will catch me way off guard. Here are some other covers that I keep coming back to.

The Vespers can sing really good, really loud. Add in some delightfully fancy guitar work and Son House's soulful blues number "Grinnin in Your Face" gets an intense and dynamic update.

 

 

 

Why more bands haven't covered "Not in Nottingham" from Disney's Robin Hood is beyond me, but Mumford & Sons have and that may be the only cover of this beautiful song we'll ever need. Also, if anyone knows where I can buy this song please let me know ASAP.

This last one is for my lovely Thea.
