The Stringed-Instruments Youtube Round-Up – 1/12/12

OK, you may want to get some popcorn because this round-up is gigantic. How does a baker’s dozen worth of cover videos, all featuring a stringed instrument, sound? The vast majority of these videos are guitar driven but we have a couple surprises in there including a violin and a mandolin. Yea… we went there. So get your fill of the unplugged variety because the next round-up is going to be a little more Hippity Hoppity related.

YTF Presents Visuals for “4 Your Kisses” and “Give You My Love”

Here are a couple visuals for songs off the YTF Christmas Album. First up is Victor & Chester and their song “4 Your Kisses”, followed by a home video montage set to JRA & Andrew Garcia’s “Give You My Love”. They are two very different songs in sound and tone but arguably as equally enjoyable. It should be intriguing to see what else the troupe has in store for us now that the Holiday season is coming to a close soon.

YTF Sings “Ho Ho Ho”

YTF (kevjumba, nigahiga, Dtrix, Andrew Garcia, JRA, Victor Kim, Chester See) have uploaded a silly video to promote a silly song, “Ho Ho Ho”, off their recently released Christmas album. All the members of this musical/dance/comedy troupe are present and as goofy as ever. The song has gone through some transformations since we first heard it, but the premise is the same… don’t be a Ho.

YTF Releases the ‘YTF Christmas Album’

We’re going to have to request a late pass for this one. Earlier this month, multi-talented super group YTF (Ryan, Kev, Chester, Victor, D-Trix, JR and Andrew) released a self titled Christmas album together. The like minded crew of singers, dancers, comedians and more are grasping the opportunity to play off each other’s strengths and entertain their ever-growing audience. The release is a 5 song EP and is available from both Amazon & iTunes.

  1. Ho, Ho, Ho (feat. Ryan Higa, Kev Jumba, Chester See, D Trix, Victor King, Andrew Garcia & Jra)
  2. 4 Your Kisses (feat. Chester See & Victor King)
  3. My Wish List (feat. Kev Jumba, Andrew Garcia & Jra)
  4. Give You My Love (feat. Andrew Garcia & Jra)
  5. Christmas Swag (feat. Ryan Higa & D Trix)

J. Reyez Shares The MV To “Try Again”

Canada’s J. Reyez has posted up the visuals to the lead song off his Broken HeArt mixtape from last week, “Try Again”. Those paying attention should notice the cameos from a lot of artists including Emmalyn Estrada, Joseph Vincent, JRA, Lydia Paek & more. J has certainly been improving, I’m beginning to feel more of his songs than not, the present track included. Based on the video, it’s good to see that the rapper rolls in solid company too.

JRA Introduces “What We Started”

JRA recently shared a new song called “What We Started”, a moving piano ballad that in his words is “dedicated to the one who has everything I want, but everything I don’t want to remember”. No goofy antics or dialogue this time around, instead we are left with just a simple, poignant, heartfelt song. Check the lyrics after the break, they tug at your heartstrings.

Jin “Disses” Youtube Stars

Jin must have been real bored. His latest video is a humorous “attack” at his fellow internet-era contemporaries. The 4 minute freeverse includes mentions of Joseph Vincent, JR Aquino, AJ Rafael, David Choi, Victor Kim, Kina Grannis, Erika David, Jayesslee, J. Reyez, D-Pryde, Dumbfoundead, Crazed, Traphik, Toestah and more. Only, before anyone jumps to conclusion, it’s all a roundabout way of acknowledging and recognizing his friends and colleagues for doing their thing in a new age of entertainment. It’s a backhanded diss, if you will.

JRA Gives You a Glimpse of an “Alternate Reality”

How about some JRA for your Thursday afternoon? Oswald Aquino Jr provides a sneak peek at a song called “Alternate Reality”, due for an official single release in the near future. It has all the characteristics of a JRA acoustic R&B ballad – that’s a good thing. Let’s hope this means there’s an album in the works too.

The All-Male Youtube Cover Round-Up – 8/25/11

Last time around we featured an all-female line up of Youtube covers so it was only fair we showcased some talent from the other sex. Today’s round-up features the return of the esteemed team of Legacy & Summerbreeze, a remix of Drake by On Fire & Rocky, a couple more R&B covers from JRA & Jason Chen and two acoustic offerings from David Choi and Joseph Vincent. So go ahead and sit back and enjoy some good music by some talented lads.
