Clara is back to her trademark quirky but cute youtube visuals with this mash-up cover of the Charlie Chaplin classic ‘Smile’ and Tofer Brown’s ‘Candy Hearts’. I dunno how to describe it except as… enchanting? If you watch it, I think you’ll know what I mean. That is… until they go totally off the wall with the dialouge at the end. Either way, as awesome as it was to see Clara collab with some great artists recently, it’s great to see her return to this style too.

Grady Releases Teaser Clip of the MV for “Dreamin”
Grady, an MC from SoCal also known for his work with the band Downbeat, is taking a big step and getting ready to drop the MV for his song ‘Dreamin’. It’s not as polished as something you’d see from WongFu, but the artistic direction has a lot of potential. I’m liking how he’s not going the typical route with straight shots and edits but is mixing photography and video. This one should drop in the near future, so we’ll keep ya posted!

Jennifer Chung (Finally) Officially Releases “I Don’t Know, Let’s Sing”
Those of you who are long time Jennifer Chung fans may know her song “I Don’t Know, Let’s Sing”, of which a music video was even made for but the single itself was never officially released. Well two years later it’s here for the price of a McDouble from her bandcamp page. I really liked this song and was dissapointed when I found it wasn’t on her EP, ‘Common Simple Beautiful‘. Make sure to grab this track now that you finally can (officially, anyway)!

The song will be a part of her upcoming album, and will be released as a single on Amazon & iTunes in the near future. The song definitely has promise, looking forward to the release!

Kollaboration ATL 2010 Coverage by OMGKPOP
Unfortunately the a-Tunes team isn’t nearly as large as we’d like to be just yet, so we can’t quite cover all the major events taking place around the country.

Head on over there to see what took place complete with videos!
As a spoiler, these were the two winners:
Coming in first place was Lost in the Gym who took home $1000 and Persuasion & TNT took home $500 for coming in second.
