Jamie Cullum - Ex Factor/Nice for What (Lauren Hill/Drake Cover) - Song Society No.10 - Video
PUBLISHED:  Jul 19, 2018
DESCRIPTION:
Learnt, performed and recorded in (slightly more) than an hour.

Notes: We love doing these covers, so we're gonna keep doing them. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is a watershed album for me and I've messed around with the song Ex Factor for years. I've sung it with Shola Ama and Eliza (formerly Doolittle) and badly at jam sessions. I love Drake (obviously) and this 'Nice for What' track which uses snippets of Lauren's classic. I thought I would challenge myself to have a crack at a mashup of the two. It was fucking HARD as I don't rap and probably shouldn't ever try again after this! Myself, Loz and Brad had the pleasure of sharing the studio with the two gorgeous voices of Aisha and Bim who bring acres of goodness to this. I think we got a cool version! Hope you love it, as ever, please share, share, share.

New, original music coming soon.....

Love,

Jx

I love learning other people’s songs. I find it teaches me a whole lot about songwriting which is particularly inspirational when I’m writing a new album (which is what I am doing NOW!) This time I thought I’d film and record it for you all to check it out and start an official Song Society. The songs I will be doing will be learnt and performed live, warts and all within an hour. These are NOT definitive reconstructions, just a window in to my own education! As the process develops we could vote on what the next song will be if you like? Maybe you’ve recorded you’re own version of this song and share it with us all and let’s discuss what makes these songs great. Here are the rules which I have clearly already broken. I assuming nobody reads this shit anyway:

The Song Society

1. Find a song you love or are fascinated by.
2. Learn and record live within the hour.
3. No previous preparation allowed.
4. Love and live with the mistakes.
