First off, props to Vu for uploading the tracks!
Ada is a singer and producer from Germany. On her 2004 album Blondie, she did a great cover of the song Maps, by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It's slow and long, with dreamy
synths and sweet voice - it's kind of like an electronic lullaby at first. But it's fast and interesting enough to not make anyone drowsy, (although it is a wonderful song to fall asleep to) and if you like your covers to be different imaginings of the song, you should find this one worth a listen. Where Karen O begs and wails while Chase and Zinner alternately throw down delicate lines and bolts of torment you instead have removed coolness.There's not a touch of resignation or sadness in Ada's voice, and her synthy analogue of Chase's guitar hook is more fey fun than a break in the storm. It is a little wierd given the lyrics of the song, but it works if you've listened to enough Human League records.
