Being that I'm a huge music nerd, I always have various listening sources that I prowl in hopes of finding that next great tune. Here are a few, some widely known, others not so much, that have been rolling around in my head lately.
*Viva la Vida meets Lovestory-John Schmidt
A piano/cello duet, Schmidt uses his own arrangement of the two songs, drawing portions from each title. It is a nice classical meets jazzy-easy listening sort of work.
*Defying Gravity-Glee Cast-Lea Michell (Rachel) & Chris Colfer (Kurt)
An ear soothing duet of the popular broadway tune; Lea & Kurt take this song to a whole new level. This powerful duet of singers allow even the crudest Broadway snobs to enjoy it.
*Vanilla Twilight-Owl City (courtesy of Kelli Kosuda's blog playlist)
Probably not as widely known as some; this bluesy ballad seems to reach out to a former time in the singer's life. Perhaps time spent with a girlfriend or lover; maybe even a friend.
*Bohemian Rhapsody-Queen
A random plethora of subjects, just like the randomness of the group. The tight harmonies have made this one a favorite amongst acapella groups.
*Africa-Toto (courtesy of Kelli Kosuda's blog playlist)
An older tune, the great harmonies paired with use of ethnic instruments, give listeners a multi-cultural listening experience.
I hope that you check some of these tunes out. If you are interested in finding similar material, I would recommend using Pandora and iTunes. Both of these music sites use your listening habits to recommend additional listening material. Hopefully this will be a regular part of my blog, as it allows me to write and listen to music.
