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.

Ryan Ashley - Mamma Knows Best (Jessie J Cover)

16-year old Ryan Ashley, who has previously covered artists such as Coldplay, Snow Patrol & Ed Sheeran, puts his own twist on 'Mamma Knows Best', a track taken from Jessie J's debut album 'Who You Are'. This guys vocal tone is seriously impressive, and I'm excited to hear what material of his own he has to bring to the table.

Paul McCartney - Only Our Hearts (Feat. Stevie Wonder) x Home (When Shadows Fall)

My two favourite tracks from Paul McCartney's new album, Kisses On The Bottom, which is set to be released February 7th and is the first release from the singer/songwriter since 2007. 'Only Our Hearts' is a new collaboration with fellow legend Stevie Wonder on the Harmonica and 'Home (When Shadows Fall)' is a brilliant interpretation of Sam Cooke's 1963 classic. As he explains, "This is a collection of classic songs that inspired me to write songs - it's the type album you listen to at home after work, with a glass of wine or a cup of tea".

Robert Glasper & Erykah Badu - Afro Blue (Mongo Santamaria & John Coltrane Cover)

Originally composed by Mongo Santamaria and made famous by John Coltrane, 'Afro Blue' is a bonafide jazz classic. 2012 sees Robert Glasper and Erykah Badu place their own unique spin on this classic for Glasper's upcoming album, Black Radio. RG: "Erykah loves flutes, so I arranged this song with flutes in it. This song was recorded during the time she was on the Rock The Bells tour. Luckily she was able to come in and do the song". Get your copy of his first single HERE.
