I promised some covers, so here they are:
Like A Star - Corinne Bailey Rae (Performed/Arranged by RossKennethMusic)
This is my latest complete song that I've banged out of my 5' x 5' dorm room (haha I should put up some pictures soon to show you all what I'm working with over here.) Anyways, I had my iTunes on shuffle the other day and this beautiful ballad by Corinne Bailey Rae came on, I hadn't heard it in a while but I felt like it was something that I could definitely work with. So I transcribed the harmony and started playing it on my rhodes while serenading my Miles Davis and Thelonuis Monk posters with the delicate melody. Initially I was trying to see how I could freak it into a dance joint; but after a couple of trials I found that its really just beautiful as a ballad. (Remnant of some of the dance-track-attempts can be heard during that ass smackin' outro) I hope you like my version... and if not, here's the original to enjoy: Like A Star
