Amelia – Don’t You Worry Child (SHM Cover)
Singer, actress, and high school student, Amelia Scaramucci covered the ever so popular radio hit “Don’t You Worry Child.” Amelia sings the chorus and short verse over a laid back piano and guitar instrumental thus highlighting her vocal range. Her remake of the the platinum single is refreshing and most definitely a good effort. Overall, her vocals are very impressive. Amelia used her canon camera to capture the visual and recorded the song with a Yeti mic in garageband. She then put together the video simply through iMovie proving that you don’t need a professional application to showcase your talent. It was the first time she had done something like this so it is not perfect. Hopefully this is the first of many song releases from the talented young artist.
Mike Posner – The A Team (Remix)
Mike Posner covers Ed Sheeran’s popular single “The A Team” for his latest release. Posner changes up the production with a simple piano arrangement, a backing drum beat, and a vocal sample. Jayson DeZuzio also plays the guitar to add another level to the production. In the remix, Mike Posner sings the chorus and actually delivers some solid verses as well over the uplifting beat. Stream and download the remix below.

Devvon Terrell – “Don’t You Worry Child (Sandy Hook School Tribute)”
One month ago yesterday, twenty-seven people were killed in a shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut. Regardless of our closeness to the victims, or our distance from them, the deaths of children affect everyone who hears about them. One of the reasons I love music the most is because of the way it reacts to the world around it.
I was scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed and I found this video. Underground RnB singer Devvon Terrell recorded a cover of Swedish House Mafia’s anthem “Don’t You Worry Child” as a tribute to the twenty children murdered. He begins with a downtempo, vocoder-piano cover of John Martin’s vocals, before exploding into the progressive synths that made the original famous. Footage of smiling children undercuts shots of Devvon playing the piano. Please check out the video above.
