watch: charli xcx – i want it that way [bsb cover]

sunbear’s peddlin’ of charli xcx worked wonders around these parts, as her latest album true romance has been getting plenty of spins around my ears. at a recent in-store performance in chicago yesterday, charli decided to have some fun and show off her pipes in a great cover of the ~esteemed~ and ~chart-topping~ backstreet boys hit, “i want it that way.”

listen: fun. – anything could happen [ellie goulding cover]

after ellie goulding propelled fun a little bit with her cover of “some nights,” looks like the fun boys decided to send one back goulding way with a piano/acoustic cover of her single “anything could happen.” and considering nate’s voice is much stronger than ellies, we know who won the contest…that i just made up now.

listen: alunageorge – thinking of you [frank ocean cover]

after hearing the bushes rustle with rumbles of the rising pop duo alunageorge, i had still yet to hear tracks from the group. sure enough, a cover of frank ocean’s “thinking of you” got me on board real quick. pep in step, synths and plenty of rhythm to groove to, the airy vocals do this particular cover some justice.

for bonus shits and giggles, hit the jump to listen to an original, “body music,” from an upcoming LP of the same name.

video: frank ocean – when you were mine [prince cover; live in LA] (2012)

a fallon performance of “bad religion” removed, frank ocean has already been drawing comparisons to the likes of prince and r. kelly, so why the fuck wouldn’t he cover “when you were mine” at an LA show? let’s hope for a better quality video (which will replace the one up top) and while we’re at it – have frank hop in the studio for this one.

“super rich kids” with earl below the jump.
