"Girlsongs" is an incredible cover album by the Austin based group SPEAK. This four man group from Texas does an a capella version of six popular songs originally performed by female singers.

Fiona Apple released one of the more compelling albums this year, but more importantly she covered The Beatles' "Across The Universe" and it's pretty awesome. You may have heard it in the 1998 movie Pleasantville . Enjoy below and download if you'd like. MP3 | "Across The Universe"
Last Friday, Fiona Apple wrote a heartbreaking handwritten letter addressed to "a few thousand friends I have not met yet," and announced that she is postponing the South American leg of her tour due to the ill-health of her beloved pit bull, Janet — a 13-year-old rescue dog suffering from Addison's disease and a tumor on her chest. To read the words Fiona Apple kindly shared personally with her fans is a very powerful and privileged thing. For any true animal lover, this news is devastating and our hearts go out to Fiona and her sweet [...]

Yuna covers Incubus track, "I Miss You," from their 1999 classic Make Yourself . In the beginning of this Billboard.com Candid Covers clip, Yuna explains how this track reminds her of fun times with her band mates as well as her respect for song writers like Fiona Apple and Incubus. She holds her own and pays homage to Incubus with this acoustic version of "I Miss You." We're looking forward to future tracks from Yuna, and reminiscing about how good Incubus was... Sigh. Check the visuals below.

A gente já tinha mostrado Fiona Apple tocando sua Every Single Night no SXSW aqui . Mas é sempre bom uma versão limpinha de estúdio pra gente poder apreciar melhor a música, principalmente se a música em questão é como essa, de uma sonoridade tão calma e gostosa que soa quase infantil, e com Fiona mostrando que não é só Florence Welch que sabe usar a potência de sua voz como principal elemento de variação da intensidade musical. Every Single Night faz parte do novo disco de Fiona, que tleva o básico nome [...]

Over the last few years HT faves Wilco have launched their own music festival, started their own label, played innovative tours in their hometown of Chicago and even sold their own brand of coffee, but the one thing that they haven't done, at least since 1999, is make a music video. That changed yesterday as Jeff Tweedy & Co. released a new animated video for the tune Dawned On Me, but this isn't your straight up clip. For their first video in over a decade the band teamed up with the folks at King Features for [...]

She tried to walk away but she choked.

It's times like there when we swoon for anything from the ubiquitous Fiona Apple . The rawness of her voice, the sullenness of her lyrics and the churn of her beat. We are in dire need for some new Fiona Apple material as the heart ain't dandy without it. So, we went on a rampage to find any new material or things we hadn't heard of and we found this great blog that has compiled 15 of her greatest covers versions, ranging from Bill Withers to Billie Holiday. Great find. Click here to be forwarded to the post. [...]

Entre las cosas que tenemos que agradecer a los covers , está el conocer canciones y artistas que de otro modo nunca hubiéramos escuchado, además de permitirnos saber los gustos de nuestros artistas preferidos. El día de hoy vamos a hablar en esta sección de uno de estos artistas, al que yo conocí gracias a la versión que realizó Fiona Apple de una de sus más grandes éxitos. Hablo de Bill Withers , un cantante norteamericano de soul con una voz desmaya groupies que logró grandes éxitos allá por los años 70, entre los que destaca [...]
