Pop. (In which I drop a whole lot of links and hope you like one of them)

Twitter is great for click-baity articles, viral Vines, memes and, my personal favourite, music recommendations.

Drake recently released Views, and the memes and covers have been rolling in. I have yet to hear the album, but I’ve become familiar with the lead single, ‘One Dance’. This cover by Alex Aiono was floating around the TL over the weekend:

As you can see from that still, this boy is dedicated. He sounds great. He kept the integrity of the song, and the Nicky Jam mashup works really well.

I don’t know a lot of the songs that Alex has covered, and I really wish he hadn’t covered Chris Brown (because that song is particularly awful), but I love his and Diamond White’s rendition of ‘We don’t Talk Anymore’:

It made me listen to – and really like – Charlie Puth’s original version, in spite of myself.

I have had both versions on repeat for two days. Because what’s the point of liking a song if you’re not going to play it ad nauseam?
