Cheating just a bit and collecting some songs from spring/summer, so not so much a July compilation. Beautiful people by Ed Sheeran/Khalid is so much better in this musical-style cover. Same for the Old Town Road mashup, even if the original video is hard to beat. I don't know dancing, but even I can see that Jade Chynoweth is not an average dancer (Shawn Mendes clip). I always think I like the whispering voice, like Amaarae's. Then I hear Amber Marks clean voice. Good to hear a quality release from Vicktor Taiwo - his Digital kids is one all-time favourite video, get's me every time. I don't quite get the vocoder sound, sounds like Kanye and he does not need that. Still can't get enough of Iman Omari's soft sound. Very emotional and beautiful voice on the Mark Ronson/Miley Cyrus cover by Moss Kena. Going straight to my best-of-2019, for sure. Talulah Ruby sounds very different from the mainstream, like the spanish influence.
