The Girls That Play Instruments Youtube Cover Round-Up – 9/1/11

Interestingly enough, I noticed that a lot of recent covers were some of our favorite female artists showcasing their talents on their musical instruments of choice. This time around we have Alfa singing a bluesy version of “Grenade”, a faith inspired cover by Esther Lee (aka ThatsEstherLy), Cate Song singing some Jimmy Eat World, Erin Paula on the 6 string for “Skyscraper” and Clara C getting her Weezy on. It’s inspiring to see how talented these girls are, especially since some of these just may be better then the original.

MV Released for “Lighters” Featuring Bruno Mars by Bad Meets Evil

The odd track out from the recent Bad Meets Evil (Em x Royce) EP, Hell: The Sequel, featuring Bruno Mars has been given the official music video treatment. It’s an obvious choice as to why the duo chose to promote this song even though it stuck out like crazy from the rest of the EP, and that’s because it’s a big commercial success – largely in thanks to the current it-singer/hit-maker Bruno Mars. But I’m sure you already knew that based on the countless covers on Youtube. Take a gander below.
