MOMENTS | Best of: BAMIN’s Best Record of the Year Covers, Sam Smith “Stay With Me” Duet & Parody, Drake’s Mixtape x LP, Sergei Polunin x David LaChapelle x Hozier “Take Me To Church,” Future Islands x Collage
We’ve curated the best of digital age-inspired creativity—from user-generated content, mash-ups, and remixes to collaborations between multi-disciplined makers.
1. Since the Grammy’s doesn’t have a category for best covers, we put together a list of Best Record of the Year Covers, featuring artists who have used user-generated sites like YouTube to launch their careers.
2. Indulge the last of Valentine’s Day weekend with Sam Smith & Mary J. Blige’s “Stay With Me” duet, or if you’re totally over it, get a laugh out of Daniel Franzese’s parody “Please Go Home.”
3. Drake pulled a Beyoncé and dropper a 17-song mixtape x LP hybrid titled If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.
4. Watch ballet’s runaway wild child Sergei Polunin and David LaChapelle’s new interpretive dance video for Hozier’s Grammy-nominated “Take Me To Church.”
5. Revisit Future Island’s Singles LP, then watch their collaged music video for “A Dream of You and Me.”
