Free Download: Jessie Ware - 12 [ Demo ]

Jessie Ware's Tough Love album is out tomorrow officially and it keeps on delivering. This time a track not even on the album. 12 was written by Jessie with Robin Hannibal of Rhye and produced by the latter. For reasons unknown it stayed in demo form even though it's an awesome track. The fact that this is what a JW demo sounds like - flawless! It's brilliant! Luckily for us it's available to download in HQ and so gonna be added to the album stream here. Sounding very effortless - we hear some Sade vibes in there and the dream pop qualities is warm and soothing. Too good to be left unheard so we'll keep it on repeat. Enjoy!  

Demo: Lana Del Rey - Queen of Disaster

Lana Del Rey's reign is not letting up, nor should it! The 2011 demo Queen of Disaster just went everywhere and we love the Motown feel of it! Co-written by Chris Braide who also wrote Million Dollar Man we hope that there's more gold from their sessions together! It's classic Lana with such a nice summery twist that's driving us wild! So effortless and smooth - like a nice drink! Enjoy!!!!

Sia - Blank Page (Christina Aguilera Demo) [Untagged HQ]

Ever since we heard a 30 sec snippet of Sia's demo for her Blank Page we've been hoping to hear the full version. And we just did - it's as mesmerizing as we had hoped! Sia sings it beautifully and straight into our heart. We can clearly understand why Christina Aguilera loves this song, but to us she oversings her version so it loses its delicate undertones and simplicity. We'd loved if she'd tried a new vocal style on this one! Even the live version from last night is a vocal bulldozer. But back to Sia! This demo has different verses that are not finished as some are mumbles. From the words we can make out they are gorgeous though. The song's sentiment is so beautiful we wanna cry, haha. Sia is such an amazing musician and songwriter and it'd be amazing to have a new album from her this year! Enjoy below!  

If I could undo that I hurt you
I would do anything for us to make it through
Draw me a smile and save me tonight
I am a blank page waiting for you to bring me to life
Paint me a heart, let me be your art
I am a blank page waiting for life to start

Let our hearts stop and then beat as one together

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!

Jem & Guy Sigsworth - Silly Thing (Madonna's Nothing Fails Demo)

Holy trinity! We love Guy Sigsworth body of work with amazing people like Björk and we listened to Jem's It's Amazing lot in mid 2000's. Together they wrote what would eventually become Madonna's 2003 single Nothing Fails from her American Life album. We have listened to it a lot over the years, and have always considered it a Madonna highlight and as a beautiful lullaby about life and love. Sooo, imagine our surprise when the demo was released by Guy himself the other day more than 10 years after it was recorded. Can we just say this sounds way beyond a demo! We're crazy about the violin and how amazing Jem's vocals are. It definitely stands on its own two feet. Amazing to hear these wonderful lyrics (slightly different) against this background, as the released version's music differs greatly. In the end it was produced by M along with Mirwais and Mike Stent. Awesome midweek surprise! Thoughts?
