Let’s start out the year in a simple fashion. John Legend needs only an old piano and a crowed office to sound amazing. A sweet 15 minute Tiny Desk Concert from the folks at NPR who have gotten just about everyone to sing in their office.

And a few of my favorite women musical artists of 2013 with Buika who’s emotional/vocal chops are mind blowing and Laura Mvula (coming in at a tie for first) gets two as her cover of Michael Jackson’s song is incredible. (There are two even better live Mvula videos on this blog here.)

Happy New Year Music
