Hey Everyone! I have a new website that I’ve been obsessing over lately, and I thought I’d share it with all of you artsy people out there that know a good thing when they see it. This site, which was made by a friend of my older brother, is incredibly addicting, and basically is a collection of covers of songs that are done in a genre that differs from the original versions genre. The site is called “Jump Genre” (www.jumpgenre.com), and these are a few of my favorite songs on the site:
Collin McLoughlin covering Gym Class Heroes’ song, “Stereo Hearts”:

Ray LaMontagne covering Gnarls Barkeys’ song, “Crazy”:

Obadiah Parker covering Outkasts’ song, “Hey Ya”:

And my favorite of all, iCallShotgun covering Nelly’s song, “Ride Wit Me”:

I love acoustic music and that’s why I love these songs, but there are plenty of other genres of music (obviously) and I highly suggest you check everything out. The site is really user-friendly in terms of getting around on it, and it’s kind of artsy in its set-up, as well.
Honestly, check out this site. The logo is adorable, too, as featured below, and I think you would all get hooked on it like I did if you just took some time to look around at the covers.
Thanks!
