Cover, RnB | Spenz — Do Me Now (Cover)
Posted by jeffwbaird on May 30, 2013
We hardly ever post covers—so I guarantee this one is something special. My aversion partly has to do with the fact that I place so much value in songwriting, but also because it’s extremely rare to find one in which an artist actually adds something to the original. For most upstarts, covers essentially become replications—just a means of highlighting that they can also fill the space of an overproduced pop instrumental. But, on that rare occasion, I hear one that improves something that was missing on the original, or gives life to it in a unique way. Such is the case here, as Jamaican R&B artist Spenz reinterprets K. Roosevelt’s “Do Me Now”, which—even though it’s taking over radio right now—is underwhelming, given the quality of the Hit-Boy beat he received. Spenz provides that missing energy, smoothes out K. Roosevelt’s more staccato delivery, and adds some soul. You can expect to hear a lot more from this talented new artist in the coming months. In the meantime, keep up with him here.

As a thank you to his fans for continuing to supporting him in the Billboard Music Awards Competition, Collin McLoughlin just released a bran new original track. Due to the explosive popularity of his covers, people often overlook his original releases. BIG MISTAKE. House Of Cards is a testament to the composition skills of this rising star; Collin not only wrote and sang this track, but produced it as well. There’s no denying that this track reeks of swagger and has the perfect amount of electro flare. So lets continue to thank him for dropping free music left and right by voting here, and here, oh and one more time here.
