Boy George - Make You Feel My Love (Bob Dylan Cover)

Ever since Boy George dropped his Lana Del Rey cover Video Games earlier this year we've been excited for the full cover album. The project seems to be coming along as Boy just dropped a demo for his take on the Bob Dylan classic Make You Feel My Love. It was a HUGE hit for Adele a few years ago and has become a talent audition staple. We love to hear Boy's voice and the new added depth in it. Perfect for a cover project like this. Cannot wait to hear the finished version!

Röyksopp Feat. Susanne Sundfør - Ice Machine (Depeche Mode Cover)

We're crazy in love with Röyksopp and Susanne Sundfør's brand new track Running To The Sea that they premiered last week. So good!! During their Lydverket showcase they did something incredible apart from releasing a new track - they did a flawless Depeche Mode cover! Dying. SO good! Ice Machine is entirely written by legendary Vince Clarke and can be found on the 1988 re-release of their 1981 debut album Speak & Spell. We cannot even begin to discuss how good this is! Susanne's voice is so incredible and the updated arrangement that follows the original is badass. So tight! And as always we're suckers for when Svein Berge and Torbjørn Brundtland do some vocals themselves. Listen, listen! Cannot wait for more material from this trio!

London Contemporary Voices - Laura (Bat For Lashes Cover)

Hearing London Contemporary Voices sing Bat For Lashes' incredible single Laura moves us to tears. It's already so stunning in its original incarnation - but the choir arrangement with its layers paired with the amazing acoustics of London's St George's Church makes it simply sumblime. The chorus soars to the sky and brings out the meaning so well making it one of the best covers of the year. Top marks guys!

MNEK - No Ordinary Love (Sade Refix) - Free Download

We love kindness and generosity! Uzoechi Osisioma Emenike a.k.a MNEK turns 18 today - and he's giving us a present. Thank you and happy birthday! It so happens No Ordinary Love is one of our all time favourite Sade songs - and this refix is badass. We're thinking if you're into The Weeknd you're gonna love this! We're wild for the flawless vocals that soar (when not down pitched) above a wicked production with amazing drums and synths. A beautiful update to a classic track. We just realized it turns 20 y.o this month! Enjoy!

Jay Brannan - Hyperballad (Björk Cover)

Hands down, Björk's Hyperballad is one of our all time favourite songs, and it's become a classic track since it's release in 1995. So how awesome Jay Brannan has added it to his list of amazing covers! He sang it during his pre show warm up in a stairway in Hannover, Germany and recorded it as treat to us. We love the warmth in his voice and the atmosphere in the stairway, with the people rushing by and all. Very understated and lovely. Enjoy!
