Sara Wee and Bani’s performance of Sara’s original track ‘We Should Be Together’ at the Esplanade Recital Theatre sometime ago.

Sara Wee and Alvin Khoo (53A) performs a couple of days a week at Wala Wala (Holland V).

Bani’s the lead singer from the awesome B-Quartet on the Aging Youth label.

The folks over at RCGNTN have drawn our attention to local emcee, Shigga Shay’s cover of B.o.B’s Nothin’ On You featuring Inch of Allura fame. I’m not a big fan of the night time void deck shot or the rapping, but Inch’s parts come out strong, and add a pleasant vocal melody over the somewhat strained rap bits. But all in all, a commendable effort by Shigga Shay with regards to the the cover and collaboration, but there’s always room for improvement

For all you Wilco fans out there, you HAVE to listen to this awesome cover of “I am trying to break your heart” from their 2001 album Yankee Foxtrot Hotel.

I thought the cinematography of the video was excellent and the re-arrangement of the track to fit into the soul/60s feel was really well done. I love discovering amazing and creative genre-jumping covers like this.

What’s your favorite rock cover?

When I heard this track on youtube, I was hooked. I thought Ruby sang really well and that the saxophone arrangement was spot on! Good stuff!
