The Top 5 Hotline Bling Covers

Unless y'all haven't touched a social media website this week, you're probably aware the Hotline Bling video came out on Monday. It was colorful, fun, and featured a side of Drake that just can't stop dancing. I, for one, loved it. Especially Drake's little cha-cha.

Now if that's not cute, then I don't know what is.

But, the best part about the release of Hotline Bling is the various covers that've been popping up all over the web. Here are the best covers by some people you've heard of and some you should probably check out.

So, In no particular order:

1. Disclosure and Sam Smith

Sam Smith is already amazing. His voice is buttery smooth and absolutely intoxicating. He adds a ton of depth to Hotline Bling. The original beat is almost not worthy for Sam Smith's vocals. But, Disclosure's beat adds something special and progressive to the original's.


2. Alessia Cara


If you haven't heard of Alessia Cara, you should take the time to do a quick Google search. She did the dopest introvert-at-a-college-party anthem, Here. So, of course naturally I dig it cause that's totally me. Her Hotline Bling cover is stripped down like an acoustic cover. It's lovely.


3. Keyshia Cole


Keyshia Cole's cover is quite interesting, seeing as it's the female perspective. It becomes relatable when you listen closely to the lyrics. And, of course, Keyshia Cole can really sing. It's always enjoyable.


4. Charlie Puth & Kehlani

WOW. This cover is amazing. Charlie Puth & Kehlani are both unique, and they have some powerful voices. They work together flawlessly, especially with this minimalistic beat and tempo changes. Everyone should listen to this; especially you. GO. Now.


5. Erykah Badu


Although this list is in no particular order, I did the best for last. Erykah Badu is one of my idols; she's the dopest person ever. So, when I heard that she did a Hotline Bling cover it surprised me. Now that I've heard it a couple thousand times, I can tell y'all that it works perfectly. 10 out of 10, I would highly recommend.


Now, you've got enough Hotline Bling covers to keep your iTunes filled to the brim. Happy Listening!

Ever since you left the city you...♫

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
