Birdy - The A-Team (Ed Sheeran Cover)

Earlier today 15 year old singer/songwriter Birdy visited the Maida Vale studios to perform a stunning live lounge session for Fearne Cotton. Whilst she was there she covered The A-Team by Ed Sheeran, which is currently at number 3 for the fifth week running. Nobody will ever be able to better the original, but this is a brilliant take from a girl who has a very bright future ahead of her.

Beverley Knight - Apparently Nothin' (Feat. Glen Scott & Roots Manuva)

One of my favourite tracks from Beverley Knight's highly anticipated new album, Soul UK, which goes on sale this Monday. This exceptional rework of the Young Disciples' 90s classic is just one example of what you can come to expect from the album - although it is a cover album, Beverley hasn't simply regurgitated 13 classic Soul tracks; she has taken them away, added her own bit of brilliance and put a completely new twist on every single one of them. Be sure to cop this on Monday, it is one of the most enjoyable cover albums you will ever listen to.

Ed Sheeran - Skinny Love (Cover)

As part of his Biz session for The Sun, Ed Sheeran decided to cover Skinny Love by Bon Iver, which was recently made commercially well-known by Birdy. I know Ed has been a Bon Iver fan for years, so this cover will have meant a lot, and I think it's safe to say that he did it justice (as always). Watch the rest of the session, HERE. A-Team is out in 3 days. Download the MP3 of Skinny Love HERE.

Beverley Knight - Mama Used To Say (Cool Million Boogie Down 12" Mix) 

Here is Cool Million's super funky remix of Beverley Knight's lead single from her upcoming album, Soul UK. The album will be her seventh studio album and is a tribute to her favourite UK soul artists - it is due for release in the on June 24th. My parents raised me on this music - I think she has done Junior proud.

Zo! & Tigallo Love The 80s

Back in 2008 Foreign Exchange buddies Zo! & Phonte released an EP/small album entitled Zo! & Tigallo Love The 80s, which was a brilliant little collection of their favourite 80s cover songs. I bought my copy 3 years ago, but they have now decided to kindly put it up as a FREE download. A must have - even more so now it's not going to cost you a thing. Get your copy HERE.

David Stewart v Ed Sheeran - The A-Team

Here is the latest edition in David Stewart's series of covers. This time round he has tackled the exceptional A-Team, which is out in less than a month's time. David had to make it his own, and that is exactly what he did, producing an brilliantly unique twist on what is likely to be one of THE songs of 2011.

Chase & Status (with Delilah) - Time x Rope (Foo Fighters Cover) (Live Lounge)

Earlier today Chase & Status dropped into the Maida Vale studios with the beautiful and ridiculously talented Delilah. Whilst they were there they performed a stripped back version of their new single Time (with Saul on the ol' geetar) and an exceptional cover of a Foo Fighters track from their new album, Wasting Light. You can download the MP3s for both HERE. These guys never cease to amaze me, and Delilah keeps getting better and better.

David Stewart v Frank Ocean

David Stewart is putting the work in right now with these covers. This week he has decided to take on a mash-up of two of my favourite Frank Ocean songs, Swim Good & Novocain. I'm a massive fan of the upcoming Odd Future star and I love what David has done with this cover. Download HERE.
