I’m a huge
Taylor Swift fan so this week’s cover video is a “Blank Space/Style” mash-up cover
video by Louisa Wendorff and Devin Dawson. They are both based in Nashville, TN
right now. I saw this video when Taylor Swift retweeted it on twitter and since
that retweet the video has gotten over 15 million views! Both of their voices blend
so perfectly on this cover. Plus, it gives the two songs such a different vibe.
The original version by Taylor is very pop and beat driven so this version
takes it down to a more acoustic chill vibe, which I love. I love when artists
totally change their version of a song to make it sounds like their own. Like I
said in my last post about the Gardiner Sisters, I love when songs have simple
instrumentation. This version is just vocals, acoustic guitar, bass, and drums.
Devin doesn’t have much on his youtube channel but Louisa has a couple of
videos posted on her channel and her videos are shot really well. In addition
to her cover videos, she has a couple of videos when she visited New York city
when she played a gig there. From these videos, I can see that she has a very
chill personality, which is awesome. I’d love to meet and hang out with her one
day. She seems really cool. She released an EP last summer called “Arrow”. From
listening to a couple of her songs, I can hear that she has a singer-songwriter
vibe in her music. She definitely can write and sing her own music, she’s
really talented. So go check her music out! I'll post both their social media links down below!

This is a good mash up. and has a really nice quality.I need to do more research about the new music they are coming out with
ReplyDeleteThis is a great mashup!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually really impressed. Mashups aren't as esay as they seem and their voices synergize well!
