Broadway veteran Lauren Molina has just released a cover of "She Loves You" for Beatles Complete on Ukulele. Check it out by visiting: www.thebeatlescompleteonukulele.com. Molina said of the recording: "I wanted to take a very different approach to the song, with a female voice, taking out the pop, and making it much more moody, layering cellos, and driving drum machine beats."

Various artists, of all genres, have been invited to choose a Beatles' song to cover, and each week, a new song is released. A short essay coincides with every recording and each performance will include a ukulele. All 185 Beatles' songs will be covered. The project began on January 20, 2009 (Inauguration Day) and will conclude on July 31, 2012. (The eve of the London Olympics)
