Stefaloo: Wake me up before you go-go (Wham Cover)

"For our third Pairings Box we teamed up with our Los Angeles-dwelling friend Steffaloo. The pair of tracks featured on the sold-out, hand-numbered TK003 7″ exemplify Steffaloo’s ability to break a song down to its core to reveal the tune’s inner beauty. For example, you’ll hear it in her take on Wham!’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.” I think we can all agree that the original is fun, infectious and upbeat, but if we are honest, it’s also sort of cheesy and over-the-top. In other words, the original is the type of song that is perfect for a memorable scene in Zoolander. In her rendition, Steffaloo breaks the tune apart, carefully stripping the song down to its basic elements, revealing an inner beauty that simply isn’t apparent in the original. Meanwhile, the A-side is the enchanting highlight from her solo debut, Meet Me In Mountauk, titled, “When The Sun Goes Down.” It is an elegant and shimmering ballad spun along nothing more than a straightforward, acoustic-guitar based melody and Steffaloo’s lovely, feather-light vocals. It is pure love" (turntablekitchen.com)

Stefaloo: First day on my life / My love

"We’re honored to premier a few tracks from the lovely Steffaloo’s brand new Covers album. As the title suggest, it collects nine ukulele-friendly, bedroom-recorded covers including her take on tracks by Feist, WHAM!, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry, Cher, Jesse Woods, Bright Eyes, Ray Lamontagne, and even a fully reworked version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” A few of these have made the rounds before including the JT cover (which closed out our Covers Dinner mixtape), but several of these are just now seeing the light of day. As always, Steffaloo’s stripped-down takes on the songs borrow deep into the core of the source material revealing hidden beauty in even the most unlikely places (like WHAM!’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” or Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl.”). If you like what you’ve heard and haven’t listened to her debut album yet, go check it out now. You’ll be glad you did" (Feat: turntablekitchen.com)
