Sweden's El Perro Del Mar performs a stripped down version of her 2009 jam "Change of Heart" (one of our favorites of last year), with help on vocals and percussion coming from sometime-collaborator-on-things-like-these, the lovely Lykke Li...

"Jail La La" is without a doubt one of the songs of the year so far, and her dreamy, reverb-soaked new cover of Sonny & Cher's 1965 hit "Baby Don't Go" confirms that DDG can also nail a

Featuring some nice sunny harmonies and never-before-seen dance moves from Ms...
