#樂人 iCover Session

Run Ivy Run aka 林倩如 Ivy Lin covering the 9m88 version of a Khalil Fong (方大同) song  =D   Hear Ivy’s original music here: Ivy Lin Run Ivy Run SoundCloud

I think we have posted a live clip of 9m88 performing the song (maybe this one?), but this is the Yuran Media 樂人 iCover Session from 2017, the quick break into John Coltrane’s Giant Steps is inspired – and that made me an instant fan of Baba:

Check out the original Khalil Fong MV from 2012:

More Mr. Miss先生小姐, with a Faye Wong 王菲 song they did for Yuran’s iCover Session. Quite a bit different from the original version on Faye’s 只愛陌生人 Only Love Strangers album (1999):

Probably building on their Golden Melody Award success, a number of YT channels have posted audio/MVs from Mr. Miss先生小姐, and there is plenty of live stuff as well, including songs from their Riverside show mentioned in the previous post:

9m88 (Baba) Joanne Baba Jazz/HipHop singer covering a 方大同 Khalil Fong song for Yuran iCover Session.  I think she’s got 陳昱潔 Amy Chen-gtr, 石哲安 Stone Shih-bass, 林俊宏 Jun Lin-drums, 吳至傑 CJ-keys.   

They cleverly sneaked a little snippet of John Coltrane’s Giant Steps in the middle, very cool! =D

Here’s the original song from several years ago:

Baba is from Taiwan but in NYC for school (her fb bio says: Studies Vocalist at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music).  She comes back to TW to do some gigging on her breaks.  (A ‘Fridays’ tour in Taipei last month)

She was a guest on a recent song by rapper 王之佑 Leo Wang (Gigantic Roar 巨大的轟鳴):

Baba was on the bill when Gigantic Roar played at PIANOS in NYC last fall, and that was also when they filmed the MV in Brooklyn.

汪冠宇 Kuan Yu (his fb address reads: myenglishnameisjoe) with a performance for Yuran Session’s iCover series.  (orig. song by Song Dongye 宋冬野)   =D

He also has a beautiful (and very popular) cover up on his StreetVoice, recommended!

羅莎莎 Sabrina Lo with guitarists Ocean Tsai 蔡巽洋 & 羅大惟 Dave Luo, covering CosmosPeople 宇宙人.  Enjoyable, relaxing vibe~  =D

She’s got a LOT of covers on her YT channel. She has an occasional duo called 野薑花粽 with Ten Yu 尤騰輝.

Okay, let’s listen to CosmosPeople 宇宙人 original version:

Yuran 樂人 iCover Session with Frandé 法蘭黛樂團, the band covering Faye Wong’s 你快樂 (所以我快樂) You're Happy (So I'm Happy).   This languid, mysterious melody is a perfect choice for Fran Fran!   =D

Did you see Frandé on Yuran Session from a few days ago?
