The Clientele cover's M.I.A.'s hit Paper Planes. The original is very loud and there's a lot going on in the song at once. There's not synths or sound clips of gunshots in this cover. It was a very well done cover and there was some things that The Clientele did that I really enjoyed. For starters, I was able to understand all the lyrics and as I said earlier, it was not cluttered with noise. That's nothing against the original and I love the original. The original has a "hustle" style quality to it while the cover is more chill and laid back. The addition of a violin and what appears to be an upright violin but I'm not sure on that, added a some nice sounds to the song. The xylophone was a nice touch as well. Enjoy!

Seth G.- Lights
Seth G. covers "Lights" by Ellie Goulding and makes it amazing. However, it's not just any cover. Seth G. doesn't "wow" us with amazing vocals but with the beautiful sound of the violin. Violins have a way of taking a song and making it powerful and beautiful no matter what an that's just what happens with "Lights" in this cover. Seth G. plays with such emotion and beauty that "Lights" because ten times more powerful. Compared to the original, the cover is definitely on a whole other emotional level and by that I mean the way the listener is affected by it. I hope this video brings a new appreciation of the violin to many people who might feel this instrument is outdated or unconventional for today's music. Enjoy!
