Cover: FLEUR - Diamonds (D&B style)

Diamonds 




Many consider it to be one of RIHANNA's best tracks to date which could explain the amount of covers that have come along since 'Diamonds' first appeared late last year.

From big names like original writer SIA and R&B legend BRANDY to almost every other vocalist with a YouTube account have all provided their own interpretation of the song.

Having recently heard the original at low volume in the background somewhere, I could almost hear that it could very easily be given a drum & bass treatment. Little did we know that vocalist FLEUR was already hatching a plan to create her very own version.

As vocalist for the DJ FRESH live show 'Fresh: Live' throughout 2012 it's a genre she knows very well and the reworked track works incredibly for her in that style.She has been performing this version in her own recent live show and you can hear it below




FLEUR has also been working on her own original solo material and her new single 'Turn The Lights On' is due for release on Feb 17th

New Music: MKS - Boys (Preview)

MKS 
Boys 

The most exciting and interesting reunion of 2013 is gathering momentum.

Having officially got back together last year, Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan & Siobhan Donaghy are finally treating us with teasers of what we can expect from The Artists Formally Know As Sugababes 1.0

After showing they all still have what it takes via live performances of a handful of their previous hits at a New Year's Eve party, the girls today revealed clips of a brand new composition 'Boys', both in an live accapella version.....


and in a teeny weeny 3 second clip of the studio version c/o Popjustice


It's not clear when and where the full version will appear but it what it does show is that the amazing harmonies that they had all those years ago are still there and, if possible, are sounding even better than before.
