Hi,
this is a very busy week for me, so I’ll skip any proper introduction…

Last week in covers:

Noteworthy:
> Above & Beyond : New album alert! I just got a peek of “We Are All We Need”, but I’m sure that I will continue this discovery. I was also surprised that this project is from the UK btw.
> Thirteen Senses : Fan times! I can recommend almost any ballad on “Crystal Sounds”.
> Guster : New album alert! It’s called “Evermotion” and I still need to check out some more music from it.
> Björk : New album alert! “Vulnicura” probably would not make me a Björk fan, if I didn’t know the highlights of her discography. But maybe I’ll find me one or two gems there.
> Madonna : I’ve listened to some songs from her 2012 “MDNA World Tour (Live)” album. And once again I was sad about the fact, that the mixing is really bad. Who on earth gave that edits a go?
Stats!
Most played artists:
> Tom Lüneburger : New album alert! After listening to “Head Orchestra” for the first time, I knew that I would need some more attempts to find its strengths.
> Zedd : When it comes to this artist, I’m refering to his album “Clarity”, of course. Not bad, not bad.
> John Mayer : Fan times. I was looking for a few laid-back tunes, and “Battle Studies” did deliver. :D
Most played tracks:
> Ride : Did I already tell you that I love the extended version with her spoken parts even more than just the song? Unfortunately you only get it as video. Anyway… great work.
News?
> The hype for the “Fifty Shades Of Grey” movie seems to reach its climax soon. (No pun intended.) ^^ The Weeknd’s new video for “Earned It” is finally released, but just like the song… it’s not that special.
> Another “Fifty Shades” song would be Ellie Goulding “Love Me Like You Do”, that also has a video now. Nice shots.
> “Gold” by Imagine Dragons might be a bit daring, but it also sounds a little odd. I’m not sure, if I would like to hear their upcoming new album soon.
> Charlie XCX teams up with Rita Ora for her new video “Doing It”, another generic party tune - but hey, the visuals are colorful.
> I’ll give Jedward credit that they’re still willing to try something new, but even with a Perez Hilton cameo in the new video “Make Your Own Luck” can’t help it. Another boring song.
> Emma Watson has been cast as Belle for Disney’s live-action adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast”. And yes, that means she will sing, too.
New in the German charts:
Outside (feat. Ellie Goulding) : Oh, did not see that coming. I guess this might be a first for both Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding.
Du liebst mich nicht (feat. Shirin David) : Ugh, they really covered that old Sabrina Setlur song. The video looks very international. The feature vocals couldn’t be weaker. Only the beats are sort of acceptable. The final product does not convince me.
Uptown Funk (feat. Bruno Mars) : Ha, funny how one might think that’s almost old news, because the song is out there for quite a while now.
Blank Space : What? Despite the glossy video the song is not even half as strong as “Shake It Off”. Hm :/
