Leah Haxhi, NYC singer/songwriter, hits us with another Adele cover that rivals all the competition. Keeping it simple with just minimal piano and vocals, this live video gives you the feeling you are sitting right there in the studio with Leah. At first it seems as if she is keeping it very close to the original, but then the second chorus breaks off into a free-style bridge that adds a unique twist to the song. Live studio visuals by Marin Hamataj and Brenton Ruh also complement the relaxed feeling of the cover. We expect to see big things from Leah in the near future, as she is putting together a demo of original songs and also working on new tracks with various DJs and producers such as Afrojack, Shelco Garcia and Teenwolf, and some other hard-hitters in the EDM and pop world. Follow Leah for more music and updates coming soon.

Posted by VMan on December 7, 2015
Rob Gasser’s Copycat EP, released via Fox Stevensons’ own Cloudhead Records, showcases melodic bass music through three different tempos, 174, 140, and 110. Not sure if it’s the various types of songs, or just Rob Gasser’s damn good producing, but Copycat EP is all it’s own. Featuring no vocal tracks, something that Rob has touched on previously with bass-pop releases like “Meltdown (ft. Richard Caddock,)” the 3-track EP delivers the same level of contentment you’d get from any favorite album, a true gem and a nice pack of tunes to hold fans over a while.
