Welcome to episode 253 of Erk FM: International. For this week’s episode, Erk is doing something very, very different. He has downloaded 11 tracks from his music supplier AirPlay Direct. But what is different about that? Well, not much … so far. What is different is the content. 11 songs originally performed by well known names are being sung in a totally different style by a female Belgian choir & accompanied by a pianist - Scala & Kolacny Brothers.
Song list (original artist shown):
- Blowers Daughter (Damien Rice)
- Black Horse & The Cherry Tree (K.T. Tunstall)
- Bittersweet Symphony (The Verve)
- Yellow (Coldplay)
- You Oughta Know (Alanis Morissette)
- Everything In Its Right Place (Radiohead)
- Can’t Get You Out Of My Head (Kylie Minogue)
- Our Last Fight (Scala & Kolacny Brothers original)
- Teenage Dirtbag (Wheatus)
- Enjoy The Silence (Depeche Mode)
- Under The Bridge (Red Hot Chili Peppers).
















I can’t say I’d ever heard any of those songs quite like that before. What’s interesting about this type of arrangement is it really brings out the melody in the songs. Very cool.
