Covers of RIHANNA songs come along about as often as she releases new singles (that's pretty much everyday then) but it's always good to hear versions that do something a little different and take the song somewhere new. Both these new videos do just that.
First up are URBAN VOICES COLLECTIVE, a choir of talented vocalist who are probably best know for their appearance backing a variety of megastar artists at the 2012 Olympic closing ceremony. Founded by KARL WILLETT (also know as a fashion stylist to the stars), the group have performed with with the likes of COLDPLAY, PALOMA FAITH, TAKE THAT, MUSE and many more.
It was their appearance at the games that brought them in contact with DAVID ARNOLD. The Grammy award winning composer and arranger (known for his work with BJORK, kd lang and on LITTLE BRITAIN & the three BOND movies) decided to work with UVC to create three tracks, the first of which can be seen here, their own unique take on 'Russian Roulette'.
There's no denying the power of their performance on this track and we look forward to hearing further music from the session.

The second cover comes from a duo who are less well known but no less talented.
Taking on Ri-Ri's more recent hit duet 'Stay' here is ELLE SMITH.
The German born, Buckinghamshire based singer is joined by producer and vocalist LEO SOULRHYMAZ who takes on MIKKY EKKO's part of the track.
For me they actually bring a more soulful feel to the song and have just filmed this new video to accompany the track.
