jewlicious, uvumi and new video podcast!

Hi guys and girls!

For this week’s podcast I decided to go for another cover …I was surfing youtube a few days ago and got inspired to do a cover of Coldplay’s “The Scientist”. I hope you will enjoy it. Next week I will be doing an original unreleased song.

Let’s see…news: This past week was fun and very busy. First of all I have to say that I am super psyched that “Heartbeat” has been on #1 spot in the singer-songwriter charts on uvumi.com for the past 4 days! Plus last week 3 of my songs were in the top 10 of the pop charts AND “I Wonder How” was #2 in the singer-songwriter charts as at the same time as “Heartbeat” was #1. Wow! I am super amazed and grateful for everyone who’s been playing my songs as well as handing out precious hearts to me on www.thesixtyone.com

This past Sunday I had the honor of sharing the stage with some very talented musicians, amongst them Pharaoh’s Daughter and Matisyahu at Jewlicious Festival which was awesome. The crowd was great and I had a lot of fun. Duvid Swirsky who played with me was amazing as he always is and it was really a treat. Thank you to all of you who came out to the show and to all of you who tuned in via ustream.com, I hope you enjoyed the set. If you didn’t make the live stream, we missed you! but don’t worry…our goal is to try and make future performances streamable as well.

Finally thank you to everyone who’s been giving me feedback on the music and on the videos. I put out these video podcasts into the world and have no idea what happens with them and who’s watching, so anytime I get an email from you, a tweet or a facebook/youtube comment it makes my day and it gives me energy to keep making more videos for all of you! So…thank you for watching, for commenting and for spreading my music to all corners of this big beautiful globe.

Love,

Yael

1234 Feist Cover and other goodies

Hello friends!

First of all…thank you for reading my blog watching my videos and being a fan and a friend.

For this week’s podcast I decided to do a cover of a song that I really like “1234″ by Feist. I had fun. I hope you like it. Download, Tweet it, share it, post it, play it…

These past weeks have been really exciting. I had the honor of being invited to be a part of 2 radio shows: KRUU FM’S Lyrical Venus and KGRL’s NMM. Thanks to the hosts, Heather and Mysty, for having me! I am including here a link where you can listen to the interview I did with Heather at Lyrical Venus in case you missed it (courtesy of Tim Kroesbergen who provided the mp3!).

This week I also delved deeper into the world of online music sites and uploaded my music to Uvumi, The Sixty One and Our Stage. I was incredibly pleased when I received an email the next day informing me that all 5 of my songs had made it to the top of the charts on Uvumi with “Favorite Two” reaching number 3 in the “Indie Pop” charts and number 8 on the “All Songs” charts, and “Tea For Two” reaching number 3 in the “Pop” charts. If you like hanging out there and discovering new music, please give me a hand with getting my songs higher up in the Uvumi charts. All you have to do is go to www.uvumi.com/yaelmeyer and listen to my songs… that’s it! Simple.

Also if you’re a listener at thesixtyone.com you can go to www.thesixtyone.com/yaelmeyer and generously grant me some of those precious and much appreciated hearts

Lastly I will be playing a LIVE SHOW this coming SUNDAY FEBRUARY 21ST 1PM (U.S Pacific Time) at Jewlicious Festival in Long Beach California. If you are around, come by! I would love to see you there. If you are not around or can’t make it, then I have great news to share! My SET WILL BE STREAMED LIVE VIA WWW.USTREAM.COM/YAELMEYERMUSIC and you will be able to watch the whole show from anywhere in the world as long as you have computer and internet access!

Much love to all of you. Hope you are doing well and happy.

VIDEO PODCAST EPISODE 5 – “Tea For Two”

Lots of good stuff…first I was very honored to be on two radio shows this past week: Lyrical Venus on Tuesday morning and KGRL on Wednesday morning…this meant that I had to get up really really early (7am) which to me is just ridiculous because I go to bed so late…however it was truly a pleasure to chat with Heather @lyricalvenus and also to chat with Mysty and KGRL listeners on the flower box. If you have never listened to these stations I highly recommend that you do! They feature really beautiful music and very talented artists and I was certainly very honored and grateful to be a part.

I am getting geared up for my upcoming performance at Jewlicious Music Festival on February 21st!…and the good news is…it looks like we’ll be able to stream it live so you can be a part of it too, no matter where in the world you are!! Stay tuned as I will be confirming this in the coming days and giving details as to the exact time and url to log in to watch the concert.

Finally I had a lot of fun doing this week’s podcast. I was a bit sick that day, but playing with my friend Duvid Swirsky (from the band MOSHAV) was a real treat. I hope you guys will enjoy it

Lots of love to everyone and please know that each and every one of your emails, mails, Facebook comments, Tweets, ReTweets, and Myspace messages and comments means the world to me! It gives me inspiration, energy and strength to keep doing what I do with love and joy…so thank you to everyone who’s been sending in their love via written cyber form and for watching, listening and sharing my music with your friends and families.

Episode 4 – Cover of Real Love by John Lennon

Hi guys and gals! So for this week’s podcast I decided to cover a beautiful song by John Lennon. I was inspired by the original version which he recorded 6 very rough takes of in the studio. It was never released until there was a documentary made which included this unreleased track as part of the film and it shot up the charts. I love it because the original recording is raw and imperfect…So this is my take on it…it is not an easy song for me to play because the chords keep going in and out of key so I made a few mistakes here and there and I said wart instead of heart (but I meant to say heart so just imagine that) but all in all I had fun and I hope you will enjoy it!
