With Sam Sparro being one of those vocalists we would gladly pay top dollar to see sing the phonebook and Daft Punk's already-billion-times-over-rem ixed/ covered "Get Lucky" firmly planted as one of the jammiest jams of the year, having the two entities join forces would of course end up something special. Sparro's cover of the track accomplishes that and more, his soulful divo pipes and a sleek, four-on-the-floor disco-synth arrangement managing to sit hand and hand with the original as a primary go-to feel-good source for not only the heatwave season lying just around the [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-30T05:13:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4923263/stream-daughter-get-lucky-daft-punk-cover/
This past weekend, London indie folk trio Daughter visit the BBC Radio 1s Live Lounge to cover what many are calling the song of the year so far, Daft Punks comeback single 'Get Lucky.' Elena Tosca and co, deliver a gloomy, lethargic and soaring, but yet keeping that enchanting chorus intact. Seriously, if Daughter wanted to be cover band they could, their covers these past few months have been incredible. Stream it out. Daughters debut album ' If You Leave ' hits U.S. stores, physically and digitally today via Glassnote Records.

Here's an awesome cover of Daft Punk 's recently released "Get Lucky" from an old favorite of mine, Sam Sparro . If anyone was to cover this song, I'm happy it was him. One could argue this is an even better version - not what he re-arranged technically on Daft Punk's part but I personally prefer his vocals over Pharrell's (no offense P).

Todos querem um pedao do novo single dos Daft Punk . A msica mais ouvida de sempre no Spotify, acaba de receber uma cover do australiano Sam Sparro , que decidiu brincar com " Get Lucky ", que conta com contribuies de Pharrell Williams e Nile Rodgers na guitarra. Sparro inclui os seus caractersticos vocais com vibrato sussurrados e uma produo que reduz o tempo do ritmo original e desliza sem atrito sobre linhas de baixo e sintetizadores de filiao disco.

So, right now theres a competition going-on on Beatport , a reMix competition. I know, I know, it;s enough to make you stockpile food and lock yourself in until it blows over, but this one seems to be going alright. The track in question is ElectroPop crooner Sam Sparro s The Shallow End, from his Return To Paradise album. Apparently the remix-competition-entering-tal entless-idiot-masses dont consider Sam Sparro hype enough to be all over this, which kinda just proves how shallow and uninspired serial reMix competition entrants are. So what we have is an altogether more intelligent class [...]]]> text/html 2012-11-28T11:16:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4644397/sam-sparro-the-shallow-end-ugly-kids-tropical-remix/

Celebrating a month full of creepy mustaches couldn't pair any better than with a nod to erotic fiction. Shades of Grey is nothing short of powerful, due in part to Sam Sparro 's soulful crooning. Sparro' s sound reminds you of early Prince washed in modern day dance synths.His original version of Shades of Grey is a ballad of pain and truth, and his falsettos will make you reach for the sky.

We're big fans of Plastic Plates here at La.Ga.Sta. A few days ago we featured his remix of The Presets' new single "Promises" (check it out here ) and now he's back at it again with another remix. This time he turns Sam Sparro's gorgeous, epic ballad "Shades Of Grey" into a groovy, funky dancefloor filler. That's the way we like it! This remix will be featured on Sam Sparro's new digital edition of his latest album "Return To Paradise", which drops [...]]]>
