Video Thursday – Ed Sheeran in 2009 – “The City”

Ed Sheeran - The City (Live - June 6th 2009)
How things can change ! In this video of 2009, Ed Sheeran is playing at a friend’s house party. Now he’s selling out venues across the world ! If he can do this by working hard (like playing 300 shows in a year), others can too… Right, Josh? (No, this is not the highest quality recording, but this week it’s more about making a point)
Check out his hit single A-team right here.

Video Thursday – Belgian artist Selah Sue (US CD launch)

Selah Sue - This World (Official Video)
Get ready to be amazed. She might live just a block away from my parents in Belgium, but she’s definitely world class. Oh yeah, she doesn’t have her looks against her either.

 

To many, this young singer’s self-titled debut record is reminiscent of Amy Winehouse, but with an added reggae swagger. I had a hard time picking one song, but I think “This World” is a great introduction to her mix of soul, reggae and “organic hip-hop”.

Here’s a link to the FREE iTunes single that was released this week in the US, together with her album. Help her get in the charts ! .

 

To close off: a link to a very intimate version of a sad but passionate song, “Summertime Bring me Joy

Video Thursday – Josh Damigo “Portland” (Album “Hope”, released 8/14)

Josh Damigo - Portland
To promote his upcoming release, San Diego based singer-songwriter Josh Damigo pre-released each track of his album “Hope” on YouTube.

The 17-track album has a good balance of fully produced and raw acoustic songs. It was released this week (on 8/14/2012) and you can go buy it here on iTunes.

So far, my favorite song from the album is the acoustic “Portland”. This video is a live recording as part of the wonderful Songs From The Space project.

If you want to hear the album version with some sweet violin and cello: here is the YT link.

 Hope you like the song too !
