A cappella supergroup Pentatonix touched down with their highly anticipated new album PTX Presents: Top Pop, Vol. I and it is bursting with reimagined hits.
They hit the ground running in 2018 and are offering up their first full body of work with a new bass. All things considered, they have never sounded better.
PTX PRESENTS: TOP POP, VOL. I OUT NOW FEATURING PTX PERFORMANCES OF SONGS BY CHARLIE PUTH, BRUNO MARS, DUA LIPA, AALIYAH, CAMILA CABELLO, ED SHEERAN, ZEDD, ALESSIA CARA, PORTUGAL, THE MAN, LUIS FONSI, JUSTIN BIEBER, JULIA MICHAELS, KESHA AND DEMI LOVATO!
Pentatonix, the a cappella quartet, released their latest album of covers, PTX Presents: Top Pop Vol. 1 on Friday (April 13). The group has followed the premiere of the album with a new video – this time for their take on Ed Sheeran’s”Perfect”.
For “Perfect“, the well-dressed singers harmonize in various rooms of a muted old-school building as baritone Scott Hoying takes lead.
At the video’s peak, cellist Kevin Olusola’s solo leads to a ballerina pirouetting, right before the group joins in on the swoon of a chorus.
Ed Sheeran followed the lead of Adele, Carly Rae Jepsen, Mariah Carey, and other musicians to recreate one of his hit songs using classroom instruments.
Sheeran joined Jimmy Fallon and The Roots on the February 27th’s episode of “The Tonight Show” for a performance of his smash single “Shape of You.”
The band used plastic xylophones, a melodica, ukulele, guiro, kazoo, and tambourine, as well as an apple-shaped shaker and blocks to recreate the radio staple. In addition to providing vocals, Sheeran also got his hand on an instrument of his own: the banana-shaped shaker.

“Love Yourself” is a song recorded by Canadian singer Justin Bieber for his fourth studio album Purpose (2015).
The song was written by Bieber, Ed Sheeran and Benjamin Levin, while production of the song was provided by Levin.
A promotional video was released on YouTube on November 14, 2015.
The video features Filipino husband and wife dancers Keone and Mari Madrid dancing their way through their house. They are later seen dancing on their phone screens. The video ends when the wife wakes up and finds a note on her husband’s pillow saying, “Love Yourself”.
“Love Yourself” tells the tale of a woman who’s clearly wronged Bieber by using his name to up her own profile, thinking too highly of herself and breaking his heart.
These are serious accusations, and one Bieber didn’t really even want to write about, lest anyone think he actually still cares about the girl it’s about, but sometimes it’s best to sing it out, I suppose.
At the Global Citizen Festival on Saturday night, September 26, 2015, Beyonce and Ed Sheeran came together for a performance of
Drunk In Love that is AH-mazing!!
The slowed down acoustic version of the song brought Queen Bey’s incredible vocals to the forefront, and that’s just the best thing in the world!

Beyoncé hit the stage and launched her set with her sultry remix of “Crazy In Love,” similar to the way she began her last set at the Made In America Festival.
Beyoncé followed the night’s trend of bringing out a surprise guest with an acoustic performance of “Drunk In Love” featuring Ed Sheeran.

I’ve been involved in the preparations for our wedding reception. We married on January 6, 2015 and where waiting on family to arrive to have party. It’s been quite the exciting adventure trying to get all done, within the budget and on time.
On thing I can truly say, I will never get married again!
Today we met with the DJ and learned about this song … which will be used.
Hope you enjoy it. Now I have a new favorite one which applies to much to this stage of my life.
“Thinking Out Loud”
When your legs don’t work like they used to before
And I can’t sweep you off of your feet
Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?
Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?
And, darling, I will be loving you ’til we’re 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I’m thinking ’bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me – I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am
So honey now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
I’m thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
When my hair’s all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don’t remember my name
When my hands don’t play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same
‘Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it’s evergreen
And, baby, your smile’s forever in my mind and memory
I’m thinking ’bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it’s all part of a plan
Well, I’ll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you’ll understand
But, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I’m thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are
