John Legend & the Roots will drop their collaborative album ‘Wake Up!’ on September 21. Its determined to be a pure cover album and will feature remakes of classic songs by artists including Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, Donny Hathaway and many more. The first single, ‘Wake Up Everybody’ is a rendition of Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes’ 70ies classic, which also features Common and Melanie Fiona. We have had their cover of Ernie Hines classic “Our Generation” up on the site a few weeks back.

Have fun with this beautiful tune, its pure YUM YUM music in its purest essence:

YUM YUM Folk Mixtape “Sweet Serenade Vol 2″ compiled and a little bit mixed by chrome

“Give you the heavens and the sunshine” this is what this mix is about, steppin away from the beat driven music to give some music i listen to when hanging in my yellow hamock.

After the huge success which my first mix represented by being heard simply everywhere i went, i did another one – actually i am planning on doing a whole series (have 6 covers already finished and mix 3 is in the pipeline). Enjoy this one – especially in these quiet days. So have fun and let the hamock sway.
