To date, I’ve done my best not to bother with Justin Bieber. Of course, achieving a total Biebs Blackout is impossible if you spend any time on the Interweb. Thus, I am aware that Mr. Selena Gomez has a new album out, Believe, and that some consider “Beauty And A Beat,” which features Nicki Minaj, one of the set’s highlights.

Doing some minor research, I wasn’t surprised that “Beauty And A Beat” has been singled out for praise, since it was co-written and produced by pop genius Max Martin with on the rise electro-house talent, Zedd.

Recently Washington, D.C.-based electropop duo Crush Atlantic recorded a cover of “Beauty And A Beat” during a day off in New York City. Chris Jones and Chris Lamore have certainly cooked up something special here, plus you gotta love guys who clean up after themselves once they’re done playing around.

Crush Atlantic is currently prepping their debut EP for a summer release. Their single, “Keep This Night Alive,” released last October, is available now via iTunes.
