Duo Ken Oak & Ed Gorski have released a cover of the classic Christmas hymn – “O Holy Night” . The song definitely shocases their signature acoustic sound, with great guitar & cello instrumentation really taking the spotlight. If you don’t appreciate the original song, this isn’t going to change your mind but for everyone else who isn’t sick of Christmas music yet, this track is a nice addition to the collection. It’s a free DL!

Chris Cendana Shares New Original – “The Only Gift I Want”

Singer/song writer Chris Cendana decided to release his first Christmas themed song and it’s called “The Only Gift I Want”. I found the song to be beautifully arranged, and a heartfelt ballad though the lyrics were a bit cheesy. But in all honesty I think it’s hard to pull off a “cool” Holiday love tune. Maybe that’s just me being all cynical and jaded haha. But at the end of it all, I still enjoyed this release… it’s certainly nice to listen to.

2 Free Songs From Dumbfoundead & Jay Park

I feel like everyone is in a giving and wonderful mood when it comes around the holidays!  Even though, Dumbfoundead is in Korea, he still thinks about his fans on YouTube by giving out 2 free songs for the holidays.  Do you guys remember the song “Clouds” with Jay Park and Clara Chung well they remixed the song and I have to say it sounds okay.  Personally I like the original better because I find the instrumentals to the song is a better fit.  Don’t get me wrong because the instrumentals sound nice but it’s too upbeat for the song.  The other song he gave out for free is called “Hey There”(Make You Proud) by Diji Parq ft. Dumbfoundead.  I’d have to say this song is something I would jam too in my car.  The song gets you in a happy mood, I think it has to deal with the beat to the song.  If you’d like to download the songs, just click the free download link here.

MBC Star Audition(위대한 탄생) – Megan Lee

Megan Lee has been in Korea for about a couple of weeks now.  You ask, why is she their well its cause she’s there for an audition called MBC Star Audition.  It’s like American Idol but Korea style.  As Megan sang a small snippet of a Korean song and the judges were really hard on her since Megan’s Korean speaking abilities limited her from pronouncing the words right in her performance  They reminded me of Simon from American Idol but they found it in their hearts and let her pass the audition.  They think she’s capable of learning the words to the song and be a talented singer.  I think she’ll make it far as well if she works hard, she has great talent for such a young age. We’ll see how far she goes, as the auditions go on.

Finally, a new freaking video by Cathy Nguyen!  Who else has waited for her to come out with a new video, cause I know I have!  Right after their cover of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”, I guess they decided to make another cover for Cathy’s page since it’s been a while.  It looks like Cathy hasn’t lost her touch in singing because this cover was very enjoyable to listen too.  Just like their other video, their voices matched with each other very well.  The only thing I would simply change is either they sing louder to hear their wonderful voices or don’t play the guitar as loud.

Aj Rafael x Cathy Nguyen – God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Cover)

Mr. Rafael has come out with his 4th cover of his Christmas Series of songs!  This time he has the lovely Cathy Nguyen with him to cover the song, “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.”  I’ve kind of forgot how lovely Cathy can sing but she sang marvelously.  I liked it when they added the bass and guitars after a minute into the video but also I wouldn’t have liked them in there either.  This video seems like the type of video where it would have sounded better if it was just the vocals and piano.  Plus all the instruments cover the vocals throughout the video, hearing the vocals are very important!  From what I could hear, AJ’s voice went really well with Cathy’s.  One thing about these videos is that I feel like he tries to rush through to cover the song.  He needs it down just a notch.
