RIHANNA: SKIN (COVER)

Check out this soulful version of SKIN (original song by Rihanna) performed by an artist named ANAIS AIDA...She used her varied influences and amazing vocals to take the song into a higher level. The result- nothing less than sexy and addictive!

MORE ABOUT ANAIS

Born in Toulouse, France to a Senegalese father and French mother, raised in Ireland, France, Senegal and California, Anais was quite the cultured globe trotter before she even honed in on her passion as a singer-songwriter. Those travels have undoubtedly influenced her sound; a sound that often recalls the non-conventional rhythms present in her African heritage, the vocal stylings of classic soul and neo-soul artists and the swag of modern R&B. Anais mixes and strips all these things down to their bare essentials, creating quite a captivating aural experience. Now in New York City, at New York University's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, Anais is blossoming and constantly refining her craft under the watchful eye of the astute group of professors at the Clive Davis Institute which includes legends like Nona Hendryx (of Labelle), and famed hip-hop producer Swizz Beatz. =)

Moment for JASON REEVES

We might not be familiar with singer JASON REEVES, but with his amazing spin on Nicki Minaj's hit single 'Moment 4 Life' - this would be a great introductory to him!...I love the way Jason takes the hip hop song and turn it into acoustic and something folky type of song. I actually prefer this one than the original!


After his 2007 debut, The Magnificent Adventures of Heartache (And Other Frightening Tales), Reeves has notably co-written several songs with pop songstress Colbie Caillat. He is set to release a new album this year. =O

MEET BENJAMIN BAKER

In the spotlight for this post is a singer songwriter named BENJAMIN BAKER. I got the chance to listen to his latest album titled Acoustified: Volume 2 which is full of cover songs i wasn't familiar with but ended liking all the tracks! I must say, I was very impressed. Each song has a different feel and sound to it. I have yet to get tired of it and I play it constantly!!

Baker is sure to continue growing artistically and in a some years become a truly great artist with more great music to look back at and smile. =)
