As exams have been approaching over the past few weeks, like
any uni other student, studying has become somewhat of a priority. However,
with study, comes procrastination. Often music is my greatest distraction and
this semester was no different. Although, rifling through YouTube to find new
music and after recommendations from friends, I did find two amazing young
artists. I can’t help but continue to listen to their music and covers of
popular hits. Their take on the songs and their creativity is incredible.
The first artist is UK singer-songwriter Ben Howard who, as
I discovered, has an album and a YouTube VEVO channel. The BBC Radio YouTube
channel has a recording of Howard performing Carly Rae Jepsen’s current hit ‘Call
Me Maybe’. The cover is an acoustic version of the song and showcases the
incredible way that songs can be interpreted by different artists. Check it

Another artist which I found has an entire channel of
amazing covers and already has a supportive band of followers. Noah an 18 year
old singer-songwriter from North Carolina, has 55 videos on his channel, many
of which are creative covers of hit songs. Possibly his most popular cover is
his version of LMFAO’s Sexy and I Know It.
