Snapshot: Jane Lui, Then vs Now

Many of us may cringe at the thought of our childhood selves. Me personally, I think I had the opposite trajectory – I was a pretty boss kid but my “coolness” peaked in 8th grade. It’s been downhill since. As dorky or cool as we remember ourselves to be, it’s nice to look back on days long past and reminisce about the simpler times. Jane Lui took that trip down memory and shared this gem of a photo online. I wonder if childhood Jane would know she would grow into the awesome and extremely creative Jane that we have today?

Jane Lui Debuts Video for “Heaven on a Hill” (feat Paul Dateh & Danny Morledge)

Personally, I can’t get enough of Jane Lui and her music – and the fact that she’s not uploading some half-hearted cover video every week makes me appreciate her material all the more when something is released. “Heaven On a Hill” is a joint collaborative effort with Paul Dateh & Danny Morledge, and she’s also put together a video for the sweeping acoustic song. The trio make a great team, and this is a song worth checking out. Lyrics & BTS footage can be found after the break.

Tonight, we decided to go with a more feminine direction, and rounded up an all-female ensemble of videos that features the classic 6-string. Everything from a song from AMC’s Mad Men to Bon Iver to Bob Dylan to Britney Spears is represented by these lovely ladies. I’ve heard some say they find it very attractive when a girl can play the guitar, if that be you, then you’ll surely enjoy this bunch.

Happy Friday! This is yet another collection of youtube covers, this time around the centralizing genre is Pop. There are some extremely creative visuals here, along with some of the more run-of-the-mill-and-sing-in-front-of-a-webcam varieties, but all in all there’s a little something for everyone. We’ve got tunes from various decades, dating back from the 70′s – so it’s kind of interesting to hear what was and is Pop. Enjoy!

Just ‘Cause: Jane Lui Sings For a Young Fan

“Cute” is the only way to describe this video. While on tour in Europe, Jane Lui had a show in Amsterdam but unfortunately she had a young supporter who couldn’t stick around due to the fact that she had school the next day. So guess what? The little girl got her own private performance of “Migration Song”.

AAM had the scoop behind the event:

The way Jane explains it, it was her last night Europe, and kind of a miserable one. She had posted about doing a little open mic show in Amsterdam, but between the pouring rain and coming down with a cold, she was considering not going, thinking no one would know her there anyway.

But Jane, soaked with rain, had fans waiting for her, of course. Including a guy named Edwin who brought his young daughter. They had apparently seen Jane’s awesome History of Lyrics That Aren’t Lyrics, and drove out an hour to see her. But it was almost her bedtime by the time Jane got there, so they went outside and she sang the little fan a quick song.

Too awesome.

Jane Lui Goes Through the “History of Lyrics That Aren’t Lyrics”

Music does’t necessarily have to be lyrical… not by any means. And I’m not referring to instrumentals, I’m still talking about songs with vocals but that often make use of sounds that aren’t exactly part of any language, lexicon or vocabulary. That’s why the genius that is Jane Lui and her team have come up with this incredible mash-up of hits from the past 50ish years of songs that do just that – 26 in total. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m an unabashed Jane fan, and its videos like these that are the exact reasons why.

The Creative Youtube Remixes Round-Up – 9/26/11

Today we chose to showcase some of the more creative covers/remixes we’ve come across in the past couple weeks. Each of the following renditions are different enough from the original – either in arrangement, instrumentation, genre, etc that we thought you shouldn’t miss them. Jane Lui gives an incredible interpretation of “Moves Like Jagger”. One Way takes it back with some interpolation of R&B classics. JV stays a bit more contemporary but mashes up a couple Drake hits on the acoustic 6-string. Laura Song & friends give an intriguing performance powered by iPads. And lastly, Maribelle takes an FM song and changes up the genre – leaving only the beat in tact. Check them all out!
