Did you see the Brit Awards? What the heck are Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift doing on there?
Seems like the big winners were Emeli Sande and Ben Howard, both of them we’ve previously covered.



Below are some Brit Awards-related artists. Specifically: black & white covers!


DALEY

R&B singer, songwriter, and performer Daley has a duet called “Remember Me” with his label mate Brit-Award winner Jessie J. The song has over 4 million views and the duo was asked to play the song on The Alan Carr show in the UK.



You can find the song from his latest EP, Alone Together. The EP also feature his first single, “Alone Together”, which has reached #8 at the Urban AC.



Look for Daley to return with his debut LP hitting the US sometime this year.









BAT FOR LASHES

Bat for Lashes was nominated for Best Female Solo Artist for The Brit Awards in 2008, 2010, and 2013… you get the feeling she’ll be nominated next year and not win again?



Well the beautiful Natasha Khan will be doing a few intimate West Coast dates as she hangs out around the Coachella Music Festival. That’s the weird thing, because the Coachella takes place in two weekends – bands scheduled to play both dates ends up doing tiny “mini” tours around the area as they wait until 4/20.


04/12/13 Phoenix, AZ The Crescent Ballroom

04/13/13 Indio, CA Empire Polo Club

04/14/13 San Francisco, CA The Regency Ballroom

04/16/13 Seattle, WA Showbox At The Market

04/17/13 Portland, OR Wonder Ballroom

04/19/13 Big Sur, CA Henry Miller Library

04/20/13 Indio, CA Empire Polo Club




MIKA

Mika is the winner of the Brit Award’s British Breakthrough Act 2008, and we’ve written about the British pop star a few times.



Last week (Valentine’s Day), the artist announced that he will be doing a series of special stripped down North American dates. What this means is that the arrangement will be minimalistic, with just a guitarist and pianist. Usually this is done because the music serves only as background/backdrop to a vocalist. So expect to hear a pin drop and all attention to the Mika’s voice.



If you haven’t bought tickets, chances are it’s already too late. Mika’s 2012 tour sold out in minutes, and this upcoming tour will likely sell out as well.



Mika’s third album, The Origin of Love, is out now.
