Chromatics continue their streak of stunning covers with this new take on Neil Young’s classic “Into the Black.” This is the next single from their forthcoming Kill for Love album, which is said to be dropping this week (knock on wood).

Bell covers Aaliyah
Funny and fitting that just as my radio show has started to become a bit of an Aaliyah lovefest, Bell has dropped this WTF amazing cover of the dearly departed singer’s signature single “Are You That Somebody?” Allegedly, she and her band started performing and perfecting it live and liked it so much, they made an official recording. Though it may not have made sense on paper, the results are awesome to behold.
