First of all, apologies if this seems like it’s turning into a music blog, but there are just so many cool, new, undiscovered talents that you can stumble upon in YouTube. Introducing the band - Boyce Avenue. I have seen their name pop up a couple of times before as I was surfing, but was pretty much turned off by their gay-boy-band sounding group name. But, when I saw their number of views ranging in the millions, I was immediately intrigued. And man, was I glad that I braved my paranoia just enough to click on one of their videos. It. Was. Absolutely. Brilliant. Their lead singer, Alejandro Manzano, sings, strums and plays the piano with so much ease that it puts many an Idol hopeful to shame. The band does some amazing covers, I guess to get their name out there, and even though they do have original material, I’m sharing with you these:
With You - Chris Brown
Timbaland and One Republic - Apologize
Justin Timberlake - Lovestoned
Enjoy! =)
