This week’s Cover Star is Jordan Tyler. The London-based singer serves up his own rendition of Alexandra Burke’s take on Leonard Cohen’s classic ‘Hallelujah’. Check it out below:

Though this song has been covered within an inch of its life, Jordan’s rendition still proved refreshing. A male take on Alexandra’s  version (which featured many a riff and adlib), this Londoner certainly held his own and then some. Great performance!

It’s been more than a year since the we’ve heard anything musically from Keisha Buchanan. Indeed, the 25 year old has kept a low profile since unceremonious being booted out of the Sugababes (which she founded) last September.

However, the familiar voice made a return this week (albeit unintentionally), as a snippet of a new track she’s been working on with producer Charlie Holmes surfaced. Titled ‘Fearless’, the stirring ballad packs an almighty punch with lyrics such as:

“I got an angel in my corner, and you can never touch her. You won’t win.”
