Dirty Loops

Another great Youtube find I've stumbled upon recently is a band formed in Stockholm, Sweden with the name of Dirty Loops.  As of now there are only three members in the band: Jonah, their outstanding vocalist with hints of none other than Stevie Wonder in his voice, Henrik, the bassist who's idle is one of the most famous bass players in the world, The Red Hot Chili Pepper's Flea, and Aaron, the drummer.  Even though, as far as I know they are only on Youtube, they are still extremely talented musicians.  Many if not all of their songs are covers of get this...pop songs, yet they add their own really amazing jazzy and soulful spin to all of them.

So I definitely would never have placed these guys in the same band...ever...yet it works, really really well.

My two favorite songs/covers of theirs are: "Rolling In The Deep," originally recorded by Adele and...surprisingly "Circus," originally recorded by Brittany Spears.  As weird as that sounds, they have really improved both songs 100% if not more.

I honestly could listen to this song for an hour straight and not get bored with it, a huge part of it is the amazing keyboard solo starting at about 1:53 along with his incredible voice.

Sorry Britt, these guys outdid you on your own song by quite a lot.  I really love the keyboard feature at the beginning of the song and all throughout the chorus, I also like how they change the meter of the song from slow to fast alternating between the verses and the chorus.  The occasional base solos are also spectacular.

How these guys aren't already incredibly famous, I have yet to discover because they definitely have the potential to be amazing.  Their soulful and jazzy sound is one that isn't heard much in this modern age and to me, that's a shame.
