This is NOT Bruce Springsteen
Introduction That is of course not true, this is a Bruce Springsteen playlist and we know how many great songs he has written but these are performances of songs that he has NOT written and was prompted by me accidentally coming across his live cover of Frank Wilson’s “Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)” which, in my opinion, outdoes the original, and that is one of my favourite records ever. It appears on his soul covers album “Only The Strong Survive” released this year, and though my playlist opens with that song I thought it would be good to dig up some of his other covers for you to enjoy.

Polymath Actor, Recording Artist, and Filmmaker Amir Royale Releases His ‘Stories of the Lost, Rich & Tormented’ EP
From Amir Royale Sophomore year, NYU Tisch’s Clive Davis Institute, 2017. I created the concept of Stories of the Lost, Rich & Tormented as a "Writing the Hit Song: Deep Cutz" homework assignment. Over the course of 14 weeks, I crafted and reworked about 12 or so ideas. Suddenly, my songwriting professor at the time (Eren Cannata of Cove City Sound Studios, Facethouse Records & Warner Chapel Music), directed us to use all the content we created thus far to formulate an EP. This project would then become one we’d pitch and present to potential A&R scouts. It was our final project. I curated 5 of my best records across the class to showcase a conceptual narrative and description of greed, lust, and youth insecurity within American culture. It is the final entry within my four-EP-long music chronicle (dating back to my 2015 EP, This Is for You.). To let this project go free finally—feels like a blessing. Thank you.

Family - A Strange Band But One Of Leicester’s Finest
Introduction My first exposure to Family was seeing them perform “In My Own Time” on Top of the Pops and was struck by the absolutely manic look and voice of their lead singer Roger Chapman. Their sound isn’t straight rock or progressive though the songs have reasonably standard formats with elements of folk and dissonance in there.

Top 4 Underrated Pet Shop Boys Songs
The first time I listened to Pet Shop Boys, I was 11 years old and I was in the Chick Fil A parking lot waiting for my mom to come out of the restaurant. I was going through the songs on my old blue MP3 player. My mother had put some songs on my MP3 player on a whim, most of the time I skipped them to the other songs I knew. But I decided to give it a shot and see what the song West End Girls was like. That song became a late-night lullaby for me. that is one of the songs that changed the way I listen to music. Years later, I decided to indulge in the album and expand to other songs from The Pet Shop Boys.

Fans Choice: 30 Favorite New Wave Songs
Celebrate Your Life!!! Recently, I conducted a survey of 155 people asking what their favorite New Wave songs are. I have long been a fan of New Wave music. It started in the summer of 1978 when I bought the single "The Robots" by Kraftwerk. I was into this futuristic thing which began a year earlier with the film Star Wars. This electronic dance tune was the catalyst that helped me branch out into the world of New Wave music.
