A while ago I did a blog post on just five songs that had been brought into the studio in the last week, and that got such a great response from people I decided to do it again this week!
#1 – Jamie Cullum – Save Your Soul
This was brought in by a fab singer songwriter, and it’s a song I’d not heard before. Really cool syncopated chords and melody. Check it out.
#2 – U2 – With or Without You
This was brought in by a client that has a fab voice but was never shown what they could do with their voice til they started lessons. So much capacity for good stuff in there. They brought in this bad boy (one of my favourites as well!).

#3 – Ella Fitzgerald – Summertime
This was somewhat a recommendation for a singer who aspires to sing jazz/big-band/swing, so as a fairly well-known standard we settled on this. Just beautiful.
#4 – Simon and Garfunkel – Sound of Silence
The client who brought this one in also has a really great voice. Really easy-going, conversational, and loves songs that tell a story – and this one is perfect for that.
#5 – Demi Lovato and Olly Murs – Up
OK, this one was really a recommendation from me for one singer, but they did it sooo well. The melody is very challenging to sit into with the right amount of weight but WITHOUT just pulling/yelling – they did it well, and I was super-proud of them.
That’s it folks! Hope you enjoyed them!
