A few new videos to help you make it a little closer to Friday!
As the holiday season and the holiday stress start to creep in, hearing the words “Humble & Kind” may be perfectly timed.
Another sunshine pop take from the young singers in AcaPop!
Another release from the 2019 camp – this time Root 81 singing Mumford & Son’s “I Will Wait.”
Ah….we’ve hit that week of the year where Halloween smashes into Christmas. We promise to keep it *mostly* non-holiday around her until it’s actually the holidays, but forgive us if we sneak in a good one every now and then!
What better way to celebrate the holiday mashup week of the year, than with a tune from The Nightmare Before Christmas?
Anytime of year is a good time for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but Halloween was a great time for Backtrack to drop this new video. Especially when paired with the announcement of their Holiday album available now on Spotify.
What better way to announce auditions for A Cappella Academy 2020 but with the release of videos from 2019? Check out the first three releases from last summer’s campers. Yeah, don’t worry – we want to quit a cappella, too.
The first, from the Academy Choir directed by Rob Dietz:
Evergreen by YEBBA performed by Vivace, directed by James Rose and Marisa Esposito:
Mueva Los Huesos by Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band performed by Cloud 9, directed by Amanda Taylor and Sean Patrick Riley
Acaville had the pleasure of debuting this song with an interview with Daniel Barke, but just in case you missed it. More YEBBA, more awesome a cappella.
Adding a Halloween-feel to this iconic Britney tune, this Texas-based group adds some neon for that extra glow. Live in Austin, TX? They are also auditioning.
Winner of “Outstanding Aesthetic” at NACC 2019, All-Night Yahtzee gave us this treat of their entire competition set from 2019.
This quartet out of Australia certainly wins best use of the “wind machine” with their George Michael cover.
A few new fun pieces for your aca-loving ears this week!
The long-awaited project from Ben Bram, Scott Hoying, and Shams Ahmed debuted this week with the release of not one, but two videos. A cast of 25 was selected from over 1000 auditionees and have created the a cappella only version of KidzBop meets the Mickey Mouse Club. Only way cooler. The group is expected to take on a tour in addition to their forthcoming album and lots more videos.
Fresh off their appearance at the AcaOpen, Aperture released this moving set of songs by Khalid, Mø, Sufjan Stevens, Billie Eilish, and Rihanna. This set received Best Original Arrangement after their performance at Carnegie Hall.
What happens when you take the ethereal alt-pop queen of Gen Z and do a three minute a cappella medley? This.
Just ahead of their headlining appearance at Haunted Harmonies, the powerful women of HIVE dropped their latest single and music video for Krystle Warren’s “So We Say.”
If you haven’t discovered this Italian group yet, now is the time. Evoking the emotions we usually feel from The Swingles or Cluster, this quartet is putting their own sound on the map with this cover of Sting’s classic, “Fields of Gold.”
