iamJENI - Stay (Rih-make)

Rihanna had a smash with 'Stay' a while back. It became

one of those songs that had scores of DJs remixing it.

After Frankensteining Justin Timberlake's 'Suit & Tie,'

and a killer live bedroom cover of SBTRKT's 'Wildfire' 

she comes with an incredibly lush take on Rihanna's hit.

You know it's Rihanna's song 

but iamJENI's sound is its own world.

Emika - Wicked Game

First thing that we need to acknowledge here is that if this is not one of the
most covered songs then this is one of the most covered songs.

Czech electronic bad mama Emika has an interesting history. Grew up
in England. Classically trained pianist and composer. Interned at Ninja Tune.
Sound designer at Native Instruments. Released her critically acclaimed
self-titled debut on Ninja Tune. Listening to it leaves no doubt in your mind
as to what good it did her working as a sound designer for fucking
Native Instruments. Neither does this track off her upcoming sophomore
album 'Dva' out June 10, 2013 via Ninja Tune.

How she makes this her own is through the mixing and manipulation of her
own voice which is as breathless, whispery and frigidly sensual as they come.

Purity Ring - Grammy (Soulja Boy Cover)

In 2012, Purity Ring made a big splash in the indie pop circle, signing to 4AD

and dropping their well received gem of a debut album. Well, its a new year and 

Purity Ring has not left us without some dope shit to step to. 

See sweet baby Jesus still loves ya!

But a Soulja Boy cover? Well trust that Megan James' maple syrup coated
throat would come with a nimble flow and a catchy melody to
obliterate Corin Roddick's twinkling beat. 

It's awesome but twice as awesome because its a Soulja Boy cover.

Karmin could learn a thing or two from these guys.
