some cool music i found online

January 9, 2019

In place of ‘member monday for this week, here’s some songs from different people I found online that I think you should see.

"no tears left to cry" (ariana grande cover) by miley cyrus and mark ronson

I love that Miley can put a twist on anything. while not as exciting as the original, you can tell how great of a voice and dexterity she possesses, on par with that of Ariana Grande. Mark Ronson is also a freaking legend.

"familiar" (steven universe cover) by eile monty

I am obsessed with Steven Universe and all the music that comes with it. I love how Eile Monty does this cover because she embodies Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond in their character perspective of the song. very, very well executed.

"social dance" by doddleoddle

This cutesy song is one of the top songs ever to come out of a YouTuber, in my opinion. doddleoddle has a lot of them, in fact.

“dream a little dream of me” (cover) by Amy Vachal

Amy Vachal has such a soothing voice that can even make a baby calm down — well my baby will after I play this song on loop in the womb. i remember hearing this one maybe a year or so before she performed it on the voice (oo trendsetter, Zach).

"fool me once" by jess godwin

This song legit got me through some hard points in my life. I remember when I saw the video featuring Dance Mom’s Chloe Lukasiak a few years back. Had I not kept listening to the song on repeat… don’t cry, it’s ok, I’ll stop. Funny enough, I remember hearing this on dance moms back in like 2014 (oo I hope it comes back soon). #FREEABBLEY What surprised me is remembering that I heard this song over 5 years ago. I saw Jess Godwin perform this at one of her shows in Chicago. It was one of the standout songs of the night (though I’m quite obsessed the “Katy’s Side”).

Zach Aldana I am a musician with a focus in voice. I studied music during my undergraduate years, receiving a degree in Music at the University of Illinois at Chicago. My musical experience stems back from when I was three years old singing in a church choir. 22 years later, I've participated in numerous choirs, some of which have toured internationally from South Korea to Wales. I am also a classically trained singer, performing solos around the world, most notably for Kelly Clarkson's Piece by Piece World Tour at the Allstate Arena in 2015. Aside from performing, I also enjoy songwriting, analyzing music, and of course, stating my opinion about all things music. Aside from that, I am a graphic designer and web developer. I began graphic and web design at the age of eight. In time, I have been commissioned to help schools and universities, businesses, and personal clients develop their presentation and online exposure.
