I could never save you… I’m just the one refracting light

Avec Sans are a London-based duo who are producing some really extraordinary tracks. First came an explosive cover of Bon Iver’s Perth, followed by their first original track, Heartbreak Hi. Even more impressive is their latest, The Answer. And while their songs may get me dancing around pretending I’m this guy, I’m pretty sure their magic is real. Check them out, and expect big things in 2013. Heartbreak Hi Perth (Bon Iver cover) The Answer

I can be elusive (if you want me to….)

Ellie Goulding’s new song Hanging On (featuring Tinie Tempah) came out yesterday… it’s a pretty cool cover, but not quite changing my life. Ellie Goulding – Hanging On ft. Tinie Tempah (Active Child cover) It’s growing on me, though. Her recent take on the weekend’s High For This definitely got better the third or fourth time around. Ellie Goulding – High For This (the Weeknd cover) I quite like the new(ish… ok I missed it) video for Lights. Click through above***- […]

Godwolf just might change your life. I don’t remember how I stumbled across “Another Me,” but I instantly fell in love. And then it only got better. Their music strikes this sublime balance between tenderness and rage that is nothing short of earthshattering. “We like the idea of blending the ethereal with the vicious: the ambient with the aggressive: the God with the Wolf.” I can guarantee that these five will knock your socks off. Absolutely. Brilliant. Godwolf – Another […]

Awesome new video and track Hurricane from sneak attack favorites MS MR. Everyone I have played it for is like “who IS this?” in a way that I don’t even have to ask if they like what they hear. While the new track is pretty amazing, for me it still hasn’t surpassed Bones, which remains one of my absolute favorite songs. Their cover of Patrick Wolf’s Time Of My Life is also very impressive. Something tells me they are like […]

Sunday Girl is probably in the same vein as a lot of what you’ll find on stronglikemusic. Taking her name from the 1979 Blondie song, former model Jade Williams offers ethereal vocals over an indie pop sound, and puts out a good cover here and there. Well, actually, mostly covers. Whatever, this boy knows what he likes. Her trance-y cover of Love You More (which I thiiiink was originally by Steps?) is good… and while I’m sort of partial to the piano and […]

WHEIRD! I had been looking for Tracey Thorn on hype machine lately, and then this week she puts out this awesome XX cover. Maybe she has ESPN or something? She has one of my favorite voices ever. And isn’t Five Fathoms such a feel-good video? I remember hearing Grand Canyon one night at Le Pulp in Paris. The party was called Androgyny, the crowd was this perfect pansexual mix (which was pretty awesome, because at the time, if asked to […]

In case you haven’t heard, the lovely Adele has had to cancel her tour due to vocal cord hemorrhaging. Sorry, lady. Wishing you a speedy recovery. To tide us over, here’s a cover of Bonnie Raitt’s timeless I Can’t Make You Love Me (although I still think nothing beats the original), a STOMPING disco-dancey Villa remix of Rolling in the Deep, and a rock-out version of Someone Like You that has garnered surprisingly little attention, maybe due to the low profile […]
