Jem   Yellow (Coldplay cover) stream music mp3 covers

Soul songbird Jem covered one of Coldplay’s most beautiful tracks for this year’s Sweethearts compilation, just in time for Valentine’s Day.  It’s wonderful — and I’m not just saying that because “Yellow” is my favorite Coldplay songs, or just one of my favorite songs of all time.

Was talking to Mr. Newborn Rodeo on AIM and I noticed how nostalgic I am. I’ll dig thoroughly through the internets to find covers of my favorite new artists covering my favorite songs of the early 2000s. And I love that. Sometimes keeping up with the hottest new indie rock single is devastatingly exhausting, but at the same time, it’s lots of fun.

Anyway, enough rambling, that’s what Twitter‘s for. Listen to Jem sing Coldplay’s “Yellow” below:

Doesn’t Jem sort of look like Rumer Willis?
