If you’re up to date with the latest in social media, I’m sure you have heard of Vine. The 6 second video clips have gained a lot of popularity in the last few months and some people have acquired quite a large following. Among the “vine famous” is a couple that posts their short but sweet covers of popular songs. The duo is made up of Michael and Carissa Rae Alvarado, and they call themselves: Us.
Their vine covers range from Bastille, to Jack Johnson, and they have done the best of Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, One Direction and more (keep in mind, this is all done in 6 seconds.) Peep a few below:
Better Together – Jack Johnson
Best of: Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, One Direction
In addition to the #us6secondcovers they post on vine, they have a YouTube Channel full of low cal treats for your viewing pleasure. If you’re a fan of the vine covers, you’re gonna love the full length versions (and some originals!)

The talent doesn’t stop there. The pair dropped their newest album titled “No Matter Where You Are” on iTunes on November 26th of last year. Their sound gives off an acoustic Mumford and Sons vibe with a hint of a country twist that I totally dig. As if their sound alone wasn’t enough to pull you in, the musical chemistry between these two is undeniably magical; their voices blend like a really good smoothie and were without a doubt meant for one another. Aren’t we lucky they fell in love?
