Ed Sheeran - Be My Husband (Nina Simone Cover) (NP Sessions)

During his time in France, Ed Sheeran dropped into a hotel in Paris to do a little acoustic session for Now Playing magazine - during the session he performed this brilliant cover of one of my favourite Nina Simone tracks, which is a song that he has been performing at all of the dates on his recent UK tour. Check out 'Kiss Me' & 'Grade 8' after the jump.

Mahalia - Mardy Bum (Arctic Monkeys Cover) x Let The World See The Light

Introduced to most of the world by Ed Sheeran on Twitter last night, here is 13-year old Mahalia's stunning acoustic cover of 'Mardy Bum' by Arctic Monkeys. Considering her tender age, the folk/soul singer has a connection with the music and a vocal tone way beyond her years. Look out for more from this girl in 2012. Update: you can also see Mahalia rehearsing her own track 'Let The World See The Light' after the jump.

Michael Kiwanuka - Home Again (Live on BBC Radio 1)

BBC Sound of 2012 winner Michael Kiwanuka today dropped in to chat to Zane Lowe and play his single 'Home Again' live and acoustic for Zane and BBC Radio 1 listeners. Beating the incredible Frank Ocean, Azealia Banks, Skrillex and Niki & The Dove to the title, hopefully Michael can emulate the success of previous winners such as Adele, Jessie J & Ellie Goulding. Incredible talent.

Etta Bond - Yellow Bricked Lego House (Ed Sheeran x Arctic Monkeys) (Soul Culture TV)

Soul Culture TV recently caught up with London-born singer/songwriter Etta Bond, who is signed to Labrinth's Odd Child production label and features on Wretch 32's forthcoming single 'Forgiveness'. During the acoustic performance she did a mash-up of Ed Sheeran's 'Lego House' and 'Old Yellow Bricks' by the Arctic Monkeys - I think it's safe to say she smashed it. Onwards and upwards for one of the most exciting talents to emerge from 2011.
