One of my favorite aspects of music is when the artists can’t help but express themselves. In this impromptu, guerrilla performance, Jeremy Passion linked up with Kevin Olusola and B. Reith for a rendition “I’ll Get By” – off B. Reith’s album How the Story Ends. Olusola on the cello and beatbox is particularly impressive. It’s a pretty entertaining watch and a neat spin on the song. I just wish Passion could have been mic’d up!

The Songs of Faith Youtube Round-Up 5/8/12
Music is a powerful tool as any for expression, and what better aspect of life to express than one’s faith? That’s what the following group of musicians decided to do, covering songs by Vineyard, Shane & Shane, Laura Story, Hillsong and more. Jeremy Passion, Cathy Nguyen, Jayesslee, Arden Cho, Esther Lee and Erin Kim use the gifts they were blessed with to bless others. The first two clips in particular have fantastic harmonies.

The Throwback Covers Youtube Round-Up 5/1/12
Welcome to Uno de Mayo! It’s another round-up, and since it’s already May and time seems to be flying by, we decided to scour Youtube for the covers of songs from years past. Many of these songs are two decades old or more, so these certainly qualify as ‘throwbacks’. Usher, Radiohead, Mr. Big, Selena, and more! I realize that some of you may be hearing these songs for the first time, which makes me feel a little sad and a little old, but there’s nothing like the classics!
Passion Covers “You Make Me Wanna” by Usher
Chris Cendana Covers “To Be With You” by Mr. Big
Inch Chua Covers “No Surprises” by Radiohead
The Mash-Up/Medley Youtube Covers – 4/13/12
Happy Friday the 13th! Today’s name of the game is medleys and mash-ups, where all the artists took two or more (sometimes many more) and blended them together to present a completely different creation all together. We have entries by Meesh, AJeezy, Tousher, the JRA, and Mr. Manongdo covering everything from Disney to Drake. Enjoy your end to the work week with these tunes!

The Youtube Cover Collabs Round-Up 4/11/12
Collaboration is the word of the day, and that’s exactly what you’ll find in the following Youtube covers. From the large acapella offering by AJ Rafael & Friends to the more low-key duo of all the other tracks, each video features at least one of our artists in conjunction with some peers. Everything from Lauryn Hill to Trey Songz to Katy Perry is here, so if you have a few minutes to kill, enjoy!

Maribelle Anes x Brandon Evans Cover “Don’t You Wanna Stay” by Kelly Clarkson x Jason Aldean
The a-Tunes Meta Covers Youtube Round-Up 4/2/12
We have a bit of a truncated round-up today, with just 5 videos for your viewing. But it’s almost like getting two for the price of one with each clip, because today’s theme is a-Tunes artist covering a-Tunes artist, hence the “meta”-ness of the whole thing. It’s like the Inception of Youtube covers! We hope you’re enjoying your first couple days of April – but here’s an open call out to all our fans and artists alike: Let’s continue to support & show each other love by covering and pushing the songs of our fellow artists!

The Throwback Ballads Youtube Covers Round-Up – 3/24/12
We decided to end the week on a more calm note. These are a collection of old-school, favorite ballads from decades past including covers of everyone from Diana Ross to Stevie Nicks, to Aaliyah, to N’Sync. There are many familiar faces voices here, along with a couple surprises. Hope you had as fun a time going down memory lane as I did!

The Non-Top-40 Youtube Cover Round-Up – 3/4/12
We decided to switch things up a little bit, and only share songs that aren’t exactly radio chart toppers. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to hear any of these songs on the radio (even when they first debuted). Now just because these songs weren’t spun on national airwaves doesn’t mean they should be ignored. They just didn’t have the marketing push to get them up on that national level or were sungs by niche, independent artists themselves. The only semi-exception is the medley that Jeremy Passion sings of songs by popular artists that were never promoted.

The Jam Session Youtube Covers Round-Up 2/27/12
When you put a bunch of talented artists in a room with instruments and a camera, the inevitable Youtube jam session is going to occur. That’s the binding theme among today’s round-up, with all the covers being mostly raw footage of artists and their friends (and sometimes family) singing their hearts out to their favorite songs of the moment. How’s an even dozen sound to you? It’s a lot? Well you better get started!
Jayesslee Cover “Secrets” by One Republic
Dia Frampton & Band Cover “The Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room)” by Flight of the Conchords
Andy Suzuki & The Method Cover “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon
Rooftop Pursuit Covers “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri

The In-Studio Covers Round-Up – 2/6/12
I call this the In-Studio Covers Round-Up because I had one criteria as the unifying theme. If I saw a mic in the video, I classified it as in-studio and threw it in this batch. Simple enough right? Nevermind if it was actually used for the recording, or if it’s just a prop, or whatever else. A few new faces sprinkled with some Youtube cover artist veterans. 10 videos in total. Have fun!
