![[COVER] – Hawa – D.A.N.C.E. (Justice cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3473687_lg.jpg)
It's the start of Memorial Day weekend ninjas! What better way to kick off the first official weekend of summer than with a breezy, sunny, yet completely reimagined version of Justice 's signature song D.A.N.C.E. Though D.A.N.C.E. has been remixed by almost every DJ under the sun, England's Hawa gives this song a pleasant breath of fresh air with a different arrangement of studios instruments and Mark Ronson inspired production. The R&B/Soul songstress is destined to make a splash with this creative take on what has now become an anthemic and classic electro song. [...]

Ali Farka Touré and Toumani Diabaté, by flykr It's been awhile since the last Late Nite Lounge post, and to bring it back I want to share with you what I consider to be some of the finest music made on the African continent: Malian music. I don't know what it is about those arid Sahel lands that produce such melodious, absolutely beautiful music. Late at night when I'm in the mood to have my eardrums caressed, I invariably put on Ali Farka Touré's albums, of any period. But among his [...]

"Sai daqui, essa é minha noite" , canta a fofa Alex Winston no refrão do seu mais novo single, "Sister Wife". A cantora, que está na minha listinha de posts a serem feitos desde o ano passado, subiu para o meu topo de prioridades semana passada, com o lançamento do primeiro single do seu mini-álbum, como anda chamando, que terá o mesmo título que a música. Treinada em ópera e crescida no espetáculo musical Americana , a cantora não é nenhuma novata, já que agarrou a primeira oportunidade que teve de trancar a faculdade para [...]

A seção de cover está de volta, quem sentiu falta? Ouçam dois covers quentíssimos, e um do ano passado, o de "D.A.N.C.E," mas o melhor na minha opinião! . Everything Everything - What's My Name (Rihanna Cover) Tem como falar de covers sem citar o famoso programa Radio 1 da BBC? Pra completar a tradição de covers inusitados, o Everything Everything resolver dar uma roupagem mais roqueira à música mais classy da [...]

This year saw quite a few bands taking cracks at covers of songs both new and old. From bare bones beautiful interpretations of The Smashing Pumpkins, Miike Snow, and LCD Soundsystem to full on genre flipping of Jay-Z and Justice, to a different blend of herbs and spices on Band of Horses and Beyoncé, it's clear that there is no magic formula to a great cover. These are the one's I loved the most this past year. You? 10. ♫ ceo - Halo (Beyoncé Cover) 9. ♫ Jackson Harris - Empire State [...]

Lieven Martens uit Antwerpen opereert al een aantal jaren in de experimentele muziek scene van België onder diverse namen en hij is tevens verbonden aan enkele kleine labels. De laatste twee jaar lijkt hij zich te concentreren op zijn alter ego Dolphins Into The Future . De diverse cassettes en vooral The Music Of Belief langspeler van vorig jaar staven die stelling. Recentelijk dook de opvolger van laatstgenoemde op boven de zeespiegel, en wel met een sticker van het alom bejubelde Kraak platenlabel. Waar u op moet Googlenen? Ke Ala Ke Kua . [...]

So I've been toying with this idea for a while now. We get a lot of emails filled with great music, often things fall by the wayside simply because of a lack of time, or even though a track can end up on repeat for weeks, sometimes I find that I don't have anything clever or interesting to say about it, just that I like it. So I present to you The Drop , once a week I'll bring you the things that I just didn't have time to write about sooner, but will carry your ears through the [...]

If this is your first time to the Burning Ear then welcome to The TBE Digest, a place where I take a break from my usual gushing enthusiasm and cover some recent tracks that I am not so in love with but are still interesting/relevant/whatever. I've also started throwing covers in as well because, well, because I love covers. Dive in! ♫ MGMT - Flash Delirium / The first single from MGMT's follow-up, Congratulations , which is streaming for free at their website . I haven't heard it yet because frankly, "Flash Delirium" doesn't really [...]

D.A.N.C.E. (Justice cover) - Hawa
[MP3] Hawa - D.A.N.C.E. It's been a few weeks since last sharing some covers on a Thursday, so I'm going to kick this edition off by throwing up a ridiculously great cover of Justice's "D.A.N.C.E." - a terrific tune I never thought would successfully be revamped. While browsing around Et Musique Pour Tous , I came across a rare (vinyl-only) Hawa cover of "D.A.N.C.E." that turns the funky electronic track into a soulful song. It's so smooth, a great change of pace, and being able to [...]

A few years ago I use to be vinyl fiend, back when the Sound Library was on Avenue A I would spend entire days crate-digging and hogging up the listening station till I get kicked out. The way vinyl sounds is second to none and lightyears away from the crappy Mp3 format which unfortunately dominates the listening experience these days. I've been on an anti-MP3 campaign for sometime now and have started focusing on my vinyl collection again. My campaign led me to Rock & Soul yesterday where I found a 7inch of Hawa's D.A.N.C.E. cover, fresh. Producer Patchwork [...]

You might be wondering why we're black and white. I don't really know either. Things change, and sometimes they change back, nothing is guaranteed. As my psych teacher once taught me, There are absolutely no absolutes , and... There is always an exception to the rule . He also taught me that if you want to change something, you have to change it from the inside. Here is an absolute, and a guarantee. This song is Rad. Like more than the raddest of awesome rads. Level 1000++ infinity+1 . Not only that, but it's a [...]
