Sweet article about @katedavismusic on HuffPo today! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/roxane-ass...21018.html …
![[Image: 2014-12-13-KateDavisresize-thumb.jpg]](http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2014-12-13-KateDavisresize-thumb.jpg) Quote:Video virality can be had in the musical cyberworld if you've got "all the right junk in all the right places." Bassist/singer Kate Davis would be a multimillionaire if she had a dollar for every click on her collaboration with the online video project Postmodern Jukebox turning Meghan Trainor's megahit into a genre-bending stride-and-swing.
With well more than 8.3 million views just since September 5, 2014, the jazzy "All About That [Upright] Bass" on Scott Bradlee's vastly stocked video jukebox (largely reinterpreting bubble gum pop into savory song) is among the top most played. His doo-wop cover of a Miley Cyrus twerk tune surpassed 11 million but took more than a year to get there.
As the cliché goes: With fame comes a price. In this case, 23-year-old Davis is hoping not to be pressed into the mold of a retro jazz crooner. She has music of her own with a creative voice yearning for recognition.
Nevertheless, Davis is thrilled with the unexpected popularity of the music video shot in Bradlee's living room. "To be honest, when we made this video, I didn't really think it through," she recalled. "I know they have a lot of loyal subscribers, and it could be subsequently shared by a lot of people. But I just thought it was a cute way to do this song."
...The 'other stuff' includes a six-track Kate Davis EP to be released in early 2015 and three original songs on iTunes.

RE: Postmodern Jukebox
This song was included in the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack, I loved their use of 'oldie' songs I remembered from the past. Morgan James does a pretty great cover, I could see Haley covering this song similarly
"Fool Around and Fell in Love" originally Elvin Bishop
The original song:

Definitely a great cover. Enjoyed it and Haley would do it pretty similarly I imagine.
I'd love to hear Rachel from Lake Street Drive do it too actually.
on the .. "fooled around" topic.. here's LSD's original "got me fooled"
