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:

this is the best damn song ever
great cover. i’m not trying to slander or anything, i just get the feeling that this song may have been largely written by max martin. most things he puts his hand to turn to yellow.
