Brilliant Cover of Single Ladies
POSTED IN: Blog Posts, Music
Over the weekend someone Tweeted about this video and I absolutely had to share it with you. While I’m admittedly not a fan of Beyonce’s music, I will say that this is one of the most creative covers I’ve heard in a long time.
Cover of “Single Ladies” by Pomplamoose
But you would be wrong if you thought this was just a YouTube one-hit-wonder. As I went through their videos I found amazing covers of songs like Nature Boy, My Favorite Things, Do What You Want (by OK Go), 7 Nation Army (White Stripes) and Mrs. Robinson (Simon & Garfunkel).
All of the vocals, harmonies and various instrumental and percussion parts were performed and recorded by Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn who make up the band Pomplamoose (Twitter). I love their creative use of household items like pots, wine bottles or corkscrews to make up the various background beats. Their finished recorded sound isn’t bad for what is apparently a simple in-home recording room.
Want some Free Music?
You can find Pomplamoose on iTunes and MySpace. If you visit their MySpace page you’ll find a handful of free MP3s for you to download and share. Here’s a few of the songs I’ve been listening to and enjoying over the weekend:
- Gatekeeper
- My Favorite Things
- La Vie En Rose
- Nature Boy
- Mrs Robinson
- Single Ladies
- O Come All Ye Faithful
So what do you think? Like their music? What other new music have you discovered lately?

I really liked that. Wish her facial expressions were more entertaining.. lol, but oh well.
And she’s not really new any more, but I am really starting to LOVE Adele! Her sound is so unique and yet so pleasing to listen too. I just have yet to buy her CD…

I like it. I have to agree with Cherith. She needs a little more expression, but the song is great!

I have to say, her eyes were bugging me. If you add her to the Cute or Creepy (as per Brad’s advice), I’d vote creepy.
I listened to her other stuff… nice voice, but not enough for me to buy it.

This is great, Brad. Going up on my Music Monday post.
As far as expressiveness goes, I think it’s just right. Those big eyes roaming around. It’s supposed to be curious. And the expressiveness is in the video presentation of the music performance, less in the performers. Well, that’s my take anyway.

Love it! Plus, their band name is “grapefruit” in French. Always one of my favorite words in French class (even if I’m not fond of the fruit itself).

That’s funny that you’d say that Jason. I think her eyes were one of the things that made her kind of cute, even despite the short hair. Definitely an amusing part of the video too.

Good voice there. You have your own voice. I could say it’s unique. Good job!
