Amazing Cover: "The Closer I Get To You" (Luther Vandross ft. Beyoncé)


Featured on bother Luther's Dance With My Father and Beyoncé's debut album Dangerously In Love, their rendition of "The Closer I Get To You" is one of the best duets of the past 25 years hands down and is in my top 10 of all time. Their vocals coo effortlessly and meld perfectly on this classic love song that it is such a crime that we never saw them perform it live together.

With that said, take a listen after the jump to Beyoncé and Luther's rendition of "The Closer I Get To You" and Enjoy!

Amazing Cover: "Baby I Love U" (PJ Morton ft Ledisi)


Ledisi and PJ Morton collaborated on the Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack classic duet "Baby I Love U" almost two years ago and luckily for fans of both of these gifted vocalists, their duet is still on the net.

Produced my PJ Morton, Ledisi's and Morton's vocals harmonize perfectly together and the sparse instrumentation really allows their voices to take centerstage. With that said, take a listen below to PJ Morton's and Ledisi's duet on "Baby I Love U" and if you're like me, you already have your $1.29 to purchase it on iTunes if/when it's finally released!

Mashup: "Killing Me Softly"/ "I Need A Doctor" (Angel)


I was first introduced to artist on the rise Angel back in early 2012 when he  put together a rather phenomenal mashup of The Fugee's take on the Roberta Flack classic "Killing Me Softly" with Dr. Dre's Eminem and Skylar Grey assisted "I Need A Doctor."

Recorded in a barbershop with just an acoustic guitar and Angel's vocals, this mashup is a great introduction to the budding singer/songwriter who's been making a name for himself in the UK.  Peep his great mashup below and Enjoy!
