"London's Vaults are taking their time and doing things right. After an impressive introduction with "Cry No More" last year, it wasn't until this April that they released their official debut single, "Premonitions," which they followed with "Lifespan." Today, they release their first visual, as dark and moody as their song, and full of striking imagery. The video was was directed by Nick Rutter and Vaults and was, "inspired by the 'Dance of Death' medieval paintings and allegories.""

Smith. Sam Smith. This kid has an amazing voice. SiriusXM has been rotating an Exclusive recording of a cover of Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know." (The video of him recording it is below.) His interpretation and new phrasing is tremendous. He has also made a video with Mary J. Blige singing his song, "Stay With Me." So You Think You Can Dance is almost halfway through using his whole CD and the season's not over yet. He is on the fast track to being the female Adele.
