    Video: The xx – Three-Part Documentary + “Last Christmas” (Wham Cover)

    December 27th, 2012

     

    Pop darlings The xx were flung into the limelight a few years ago, and since have been on a non-stop journey. The young British group share their story in a three-part documentary they break up into "Recording," "Rehearsal," and "Live," giving you a well-rounded picture of exactly what goes on in their world. Watch part one above, and the remaining two parts after the jump.

    The group also recently released a holiday tune covering Wham. You can stream "Last Christmas" below and enjoy the shivers that these guys invariably rule at giving. The son is also a free download!

    December 20th, 2012

     

    Spotify's What's Next conference held recently yielded a pleasant little Radiohead cover of "Fake Plastic Trees" by our boy Frank Ocean. Above, watch the super DIY fan video to get a little taste. Can't wait for more from this, dude. Always a treat.

    Video: Siaira Shawn – “Twice” (Little Dragon Cover)

    December 10th, 2012

     

    Fresh off her Sade cover for "Cherish The Day," our girl Siaira Shawn has a new favorite she's decided to cover. The chilling Little Dragon song "Twice" gets the Siaira Shawn a cappella treatment with an equally haunting video that draws everything still. Hope we'll get to hear more beyond these snippets, too!

    New Track: Bilal – “Too High” (Stevie Wonder Cover)

    December 4th, 2012

     

    Um, yeah. Bilal covering Stevie Wonder? Lots more where this came from, please! This particular tune shares a smoothed out, jazzed up take on "Too High" and immediately moves listeners to a nostalgic happy place. The instrumentation is compliments of Yesterday’s New Quintet (Madlib), too!

    The track is featured on Bilal's upcoming mixtape, The Retrospection, presented by Vikter Duplaix. Absolutely cannot wait!
