New Video: BEVERLEY KNIGHT - 'Queen Of The Night' (Excerpt) from The Bodyguard Musical

We all know her as the Queen of UK soul but BEVERLEY KNIGHT is now officially 'The Queen Of The Night' too.

Ahead of her arrival to star as RACHEL MARRON in the West End version THE BODYGUARD, the official website has just released this (all too short) clip of our Bev performing one of the many signature songs from WHITNEY HOUSTON's classic soundtrack.

 There's was really never any doubt that she would do it justice, but she really rocks the track, originally written by WHITNEY together with L.A REID & BABYFACE.

BEVERLEY takes on the role from September 9th at London's ADELPHI THEATRE.

You can also see a clip of her own version of the CHAKA KHAN classic 'I'm Every Woman' recorded at ABBEY ROAD studios

New RIHANNA Covers: URBAN VOICES COLLECTIVE + ELLE SMITH with LEO SOULRHYMAZ

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.

New Music: SHERRY DAVIS - Star Crossed Lovers EP (Updated with video)

'Star Crossed Lovers' is the new E.P from rising talent SHERRY DAVIS.

The soulful Londoner has been working hard honing her craft on the live circuit as well as working with the likes of UK soul legend OMAR along the way.

Her brand new 4 track release displays a maturity and shows how much her sound has grown over the last few years. From the opener 'Can't Stay Away', you can immediately hear the quality of both her songwriting and the production, the music has a retro quality reminiscent of some of the street soul of the early 90's.

On 'This Empty Bed', a beautiful piano/vocal only track Sherry's voice soars and stylistically could be considered as the UK's answer to ALICIA KEYS

The EP's final track 'Torture You' is the funkiest of the those on display and is a fine way to close the set.

If this is the first you have heard of SHERRY DAVIS you can be sure it won't be the last.

You can listen to the EP in it's entirety here

'Star Crossed Lovers' is available to buy on itunes here

And now check out the hot video of the title track
