THROWBACK THURSDAY: “Don’t You Want Me?”

This week’s Throwback Thursday cover is another classic from the 80’s. This week, Young Summer takes on Human League’s “Don’t You Want Me” and it is stripped down to a piano and vocals and it’s so heartbreaking. A complete 180 from arm swinging, hip swaying version by Human League.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: “Man in the Mirror”

This week’s Throwback Thursday is another cover and one would think the classic hit from Michael Jackson couldn’t be made more moving or powerful but producer J2 with Utah’s Cameron the Public does just that. If it sounds familiar it was featured on a episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Take a listen and enjoy.
