In my opinion, Rihanna’s “Stay” is one of her better songs to be released. It looks like I’m not alone with this notion because we have a total of 11 Youtube videos of artists who chose to cover the tune. That being said, the majority chose to go the same route as the original, sticking to a simple piano backdrop or even the same instrumental. But there are a couple unique gems in there that I think you’ll enjoy.

“So Silly” has already been floating around the net for a year now, but Jasmine V has posted up some In-Studio footage of the recording of the song featuring Tyga. From the sound of it, the track is a pretty decent Pop/R&B song that wouldn’t be out of place on the radio. Jasmine has hinted at the possibility of a music video for the song – potentially giving it that extra promotional push.
