Weezer Cover Toni Braxton’s Unbreak My Heart


Didn’t expect this today/ever. Asher Roth’s favourite lady, Toni Braxton, gets her biggest hit revamped by Weezer, and they do a decent job with the classic track.

There’s no way they were ever going to match the emotion, atmosphere and vocal ability found on the original but as far as alternative covers go this is a good effort. I’m especially liking the intricate work they’ve put in with the guitars, as they avoid the obvious idea of just strumming the basic chords and instead inject some flair and creativity, particularly towards the end of the track. Worth a listen.

Asher Roth - Tony Braxton

Another pretty funny video for you here, from Asher’s Seared Foie Gras with Quince & Cranberry mixtape, here is a track dedicated to Tony Braxton. Which was inspired by her grinding on him in Vegas last year.

R&B Fridays (Wednesday): Episode 41 Part 2


So here’s the deal. This is the stuff that I couldn’t fit into the last episode, but as I’ve got so much new material to post today (and I’m feeling lazy/tired), I’m foregoing my usual track-by-track analysis and just posting up the links.

Pick off what you want, and be prepared for an absolute massive R&B Friday this week. Why? Because I have about 150 tracks for it already. Yes, you read that right. Goodbye life.

I could have easily put out two of these this week, so this one is rammed with tracks.
There’s a lot of content, and although not every song is amazing, a lot of it is big news and/or a big deal: an Alexandra Burke/Ne-Yo collab, a 15-year old who is better than most other R&B artists, TV stars and a lot more.

Want some? Yeah you do. Click the red line of enlightenment below.
