Listen: Daniel de Bourg

Last year one of my best friends from college introduced me to Daniel de Bourg with this YouTube video:

Are you swooning? Oh yes, he's talented AND British.

I fell in love with him instantly and discovered he's pretty active on Twitter (@DdBMusic) where he posts all of his new covers. Imagine my delight when this week he posted a cover of one of my favorite anthems, Adele's "Rolling in the Deep." Check it out:

I also adore his version of Far East Movement's "Rocketeer." For your listening pleasure:

De Bourg covers Trey Songz, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Drake, Robin Thicke and more. You can follow him on Twitter or subscribe to his YouTube channel, DanielDB13. Now, let's work on getting him to come perform in America!

Listen: Adele on NPR

It's no secret that I love Adele. Her new album "21" has single handedly mended my broken heart. I was thrilled to discover that she recently participated in NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series. She performed three songs: "Someone Like You", "Chasing Pavements" and "Rolling in the Deep".

Listen: Sam Smith Covers Whitney Houston

It's no secret (or surprise), I love Whitney Houston. Blame it on the countless Saturday nights in my early twenties spent twirling and screaming at the top of my lungs to "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" at Phoenix Landing. Earlier this week one of my college friends sent me a link to a YouTube video of Sam Smith covering Whitney's smash hit "How Will I Know." You may recognize Sam Smith from his popular Top 40 song "Stay With Me." Here's the cover:

Listen: Whitney Houston Tributes

If you've ever been to the Phoenix Landing in Central Square in Cambridge on a Saturday night you have seen me singing at the tops of my lungs and twirling in circles as Whitney Houston's 80s power song, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" blares from the speakers. Given all my great memories of dancing to Whitney songs, I was deeply saddened to hear of her passing. In the wake of her death many artists have come forward with tribute performances and I wanted to share with you two of my favorites.
