Today's Smothered & Covered is in remembrance of those affected by the September 11 attacks. Eleven years ago on this day, America faced one of the biggest tragedies in the nation's history. Indeed, what started off as a normal Tuesday quickly became filled with horror as the US faced a series of terrorists attacks in New York City and Virginia. The aftermath of the attacks left many wondering how to move forward, but a group of artists decided it was time to give back. Led by Jermaine Dupri and Bono, artists such as 'Nsync, [...]

NAPOLEON GOLD es un productor de Luxemburgo del que no se sabe mucho, pero que acaba de sacar un remix del "Let´s Get it On"de Marvin Gaye para quitarse el sombrero, [....]
Got myself monitoring Sun Glitters' soundcloud again...and what do you know, I found another spectacular song. It really doesn't surprise at this point anymore. Anything Victor manages to favorite on soundcloud always ends up being right up my alley. The latest tune in the "Stalk Sun Glitters' Soundcloud Account Chronicles" comes from an upcoming producer by the name of Napoleon Gold. Hailing from the same country as Sun Glitters, this guy produces a sound that's reminiscent of his Luxembourg counterpart, but significantly more downtempo. Instead of relying on short bursts of rhythms and samples, Napoleon Gold's sound is slightly drawn out, creating for [...]

Of all the Motown artists, Marvin Gaye was the deepest and often the darkest. Although Gil Scott-Heron is regularly credited with laying down the foundations for hip-hop, I believe Marvin also played his part. This article aims to pay tribute to his genius and lasting legacy within a hip-hop community thankful for his contributions. The first thing you will notice when delving into the subject, is how often his name pops up through a broad range of artists. Who could forget 2Pac's lyrics in "Keep Ya Head Up", when Pac rapped: "I remember Marvin Gaye, used to sing to me He [...]
In the same way that the Beatles were the undisputed kings among 1960s classic rock Desert Island Discs, Stevie Wonder owned R&B in the subsequent decade. Though the votes were spread out over four albums, Wonder received a commanding seven nods across eight different lists. Marvin Gaye (whose What's Going On? earned four mentions, including two for first place), the [...]
Sunny - Marvin Gaye - Mercury Remix - Click to download This is such a great song. Specifically for a Monday morning. Getting up and started after an amazing weekend is tough. This song is phenomenal and Mercury (from Switzerland) absolutely makes this remix feel like a sunny morning in paradise. Dig it.

I’m a huge fan of the original, and this version of Marvin Gaye’s “Sunny” adds some spunk…it feels so good to finally reach the line, “The dark days are gone…” Nothing can beat the classic, but this one is pretty fun. Download “Sunny” - Mercury Edit II on SoundCloud .
Last week we published a list of what we considered to be some of the worst political songs ever — the trite, the mawkish, the hopelessly naïve. Predictably enough, the feature generated plenty of comment section debate, including one call for a corresponding list of good political songs. We actually ran a feature a while back about good 21st-century political anthems , but still, your wish is our command — so without doubling up any, here's a selection of songs we consider to be as moving and effective as those other songs are banal and ineffective. Your [...]

Back in April, San Francisco trio PillowTalk dropped their awesome debut release on Wolf + Lamb's W+L Black imprint. The "Soul Edits" 12" includes three sun-kissed and blissed-out soul reworks with their smooth signature sound: Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell's late 60s soul anthem "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing", Bobby Hebb's version of the classic "Sunny", and Mayer Hawthorne's cover of the Festivals' "You've Got The Making Of A Lover" (already posted here ). This one was for the vinyl lovers only, until now. Today, PillowTalk offered [...]
