In a somber but heartfelt moment, sisters Janice & Sonia (collectively known as JS) have posted up a cover of the inspirational hit ‘You Raise Me Up’ per Josh Groban. It’s been quite some time since they posted up a new video but in light of the recent passing of their grandmother, the decided to express themselves through song once again and dedicate their beautifully sung cover to her.

It’s a bittersweet moment, and although covers of this song are a dime a dozen, this is definitely noteworthy.

I’m gonna rip this straight from ChannelAPA since they summarized the event so well. All I’ll say is, if you’re in the LA area on the 20th of this month, consider going out and supporting this event in to help end poverty.

According to UNICEF, approximately 3 billion people live on less than US $2/day and 1.4 billion people live on less than US $1.25/day, which is the definition of those living in extreme poverty. Though these statistics seem daunting, experts and global organizations are in agreement. There is hope. This generation has the ability to end extreme global poverty.

On March 20, 2010, Generation Against Global Injustice (GAGI) is hosting the “Ending Poverty : Music to Change the World” Concert at the Los Angeles Theatre Center in downtown LA. Come join them on this pivotal night to be the change that the world so desperately needs. For at the end, it’s not just about enjoying the music. It’s about providing hope and relief.

A portion of the proceeds will go to One Day’s Wages’ campaign to provide Fresh Start Kits for women in Congo. These kits will provide the training, skills, and equipment needed to begin sustaining their own lives.

Melissa Has released a song she wrote a couple years ago entitled “Say You’ll Stay”. It’s a medium tempo pop/rock number and she brings her trademark smoky vocals to give the track some great texture. I really liked this one and would love to hear a studio version. Hopefully she’ll record one soon.

I can really appreciate it when singers connect with the material they are singing, it makes all the difference in how the track is perceived. You can find the lyrics after the break.

Jason Yang’s been gaining some popularity lately, and for good reason because he’s a genius on the violin. Check out this freestyle jam session he posted up with DJ Buddy where they go through a few pop hits and transform them into something on another level all together. It’s not perfect, but that’s what makes improvisation so interesting. Jason adds so much style and flair to songs that we’ve otherwise become bored with. See for yourself.
