Here's a very dreamy version of Rihannas duet with Chris Brown 'Nobody's Business'. This rendition was partly recorded in China by Jamal Ross and in the UK by danish soul singer Marie Dahlstrom. The vocals were recorded individually and then sent back and forth until the arrangement was completed.

Marie Dahlstrøm - Search

Here's a live video of Marie Dahlstrøm (DK) - Search, recorded at Cream Studios, London.

I love cover versions, especially when it's almost unrecognisable from the original. For example, Danish soul singer Marie Dahlstrøms new video is a cover version of Phil Collins - In the Air, and even while you read this I'm sure you can hear the 80's pop icon vocals.

Scandinavian Soul meets Marie Dahlstrøm (DK)

Although London's summer weather was looking to conspire to dampen more than just my spirit, it at least relented as I approached the tall Danish singer in this Capital city’s busy underground. Having lived in the heart of London for the past three years, Marie Dahlstrøm knows these streets well, as she leads me to her suggested café in Hoxton.

As we engage in conversation I realise her Danish accent is quite pronounced yet completely hidden when in song, and – to my delight – I hear familiar traits of 'London's street slang' appear every now and then.

 Right now in the UK, the media is picking up on her mesmerising jazzy, soulful talents and even the Manchester United footballer, Rio Ferdinand, cites her on Twitter as one of his favourite singers.
