Cover | Neon Hitch — We Can’t Stop (Miley Cover) [Prod. Kinetics & One Love]
Posted by jeffwbaird on September 16, 2013
After a few number one dance hits and a notable feature on Gym Class Heroes’ “Ass Back Home”, British singer/songwriter Neon Hitch’s stock is at an all-time high. After spending some time in Kinetics & One Love’s NYC studio, they created this smooth reinterpretation of Miley’s hit “We Can’t Stop” (in addition to some other material to be released soon), complete with improved lyrics and a downtempo, horn-driven beat from One Love that shows off the budding beatmaker’s tremendous versatility. Check it out, and be sure to connect with all three artists below.

The ever magnificent, phenomenal singing, beautiful, talented, Connor Zwetsch has given us her latest cover. Now that I’ve gotten my adjectives for today’s post out of the way, I can get down to the nitty gritty. You all know Connor has got the pipes, but what some of you might not know, is her songwriting ability. In addition to being able to blow the cover off of covers, her originals are majestic also. There are plenty of people that can sing other people’s songs well, and Connor can do that, but the real talent comes from being able to create their own magic, and Connor Zwetsch can do that. I guess what I’m getting at is: enjoy these covers, but keep in mind that the originals are coming too, and they will be incredible. Believe me.

FNT favorite and veteran postee Connor Zwetsch gives us her latest cover. She’s turning this into a routine on Sunday’s and I don’t think I could love it more. Most of the covers posted on music blogs are popular, mainstream songs, but Connor chooses more low key songs, that show off her vocal ability. This week’s cover is a Monsters and Men hit, and Connor does it justice, and although I’ve never loved the original song, Connor’s version entrances me. Check out the video above and be on the lookout for more Connor coming on Sunday’s.
Chill, Cover | Elli Ingram – Poetic Justice (Cover)
Posted by admin on July 9, 2013
My affinity for female, British pop singers is just too much for me to handle sometimes. My newest crush goes by the name of Elli Ingram. Hailing from Brighton, England Elli has honed her talents from a very young age. Inspired by the likes of Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill, it’s easy to see where this vocalist gets her soulful, R&B flare.
The 19 year old soon-to-be star has just released her EP entitled Sober. The alcohol and drug-infused subject matter of the EP is one that you might not expect from a teenager, however, it becomes quite clear that Elli is not your average teen with a dream of stardom.
The standout from the EP, and song that originally peaked my interest, was her rendition of Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s “Poetic Justice”. The cover manages to pump endless emotion in to an already emotion-filled song, and gives the average music listener some great new material to belt out in the shower.
Ingram is young and has already proved herself to many major players in the industry, if she keeps progressing it will be no time at all before she is a household name.
Enjoy the cover and hop over to Elli’s website to grab the full EP.
Cover, Pop, RnB | Spenz — Do Me Now [Music Video]

I am proud to premiere the raunchy, NSFW visuals for Jamaican R&B artist Spenz’s “Do Me Now”, a reinterpretation of the popular Hit-Boy-produced song by K.Roosevelt that we premiered back in May. As I mentioned before, it’s rare to find an artist who really understands how to improve upon an original, which is exactly what Spenz does, with his smoother, more soulful delivery and strong ear for melody. Look out for more from this talented singer as he readies his debut release due out this November.
Chill, Cover, Videos | Connor Zwetsch – No Rain (Blind Melon cover)

FNT’s own Connor Zwetsch offers up her newest cover to mellow us all out on this hyped up, crazy, alcohol filled day. Her latest, a cover of Blind Melon’s “No Rain,” is upbeat and catchy, and Connor’s voice puts an interesting and fun twist on the song, and really shows off her tremendously powerful and gorgeous vocal chords. Fun fact for everybody, this is the song Connor sang on The Voice, and NONE of the judges turned around. I would’ve turned around. Happy 4th to all, be safe.
Cover, Hip-Hop | PropaneLv – Blood On The Leaves (Kanye West Cover)
Posted by Jess on June 25, 2013
It’s been 3 weeks since last heard from Lv. Word is, as he confirms in the video above, that he’s been in the studio with D.Shuts finishing up his debut album, Varsity Blues, due sometime in September. On another note, he really goes off on Kanye’s “Blood On The Leaves”. The vocals initially set a tone that is shattered when the beat drops. If you’re the impatient type just go straight to 1:14. Boom! #LTRMN.
