I’m going to make a number of quick assumptions about you P&P readers, all of which are 100% correct. You come to this site because you enjoy music. To enjoy it, you have to listen to it. If you listen to music then you’ve heard of Radiohead. Radiohead’s song “Creep” has been covered and reworked upwards of one million times, and you have all personally heard someone somewhere play it, perform it or slaughter it hammered at some 4 am karaoke bar in a back alley. How am I doing so far?
Covers are tricky, if done well they can be an artist’s launching pad. If done poorly they can be an instantaneous credibility killer. Either way they must be done, sort of like a rite of passage. Ronnie “RO” James decided to cut his teeth on a very well known and widely covered track, and does so in a way that breaks the mold of the original by adding a harder rock / R&B edge to it. He’s created his own version of the song while still doing it loads of justice. Give it a listen below, see the official video after the jump.
Ahh maaaaazinnnnnggggg he is beatuiful. And his voice resignates with my soul . I have heard this song covered but ronnie james made it HIS song . I dont know if a major has gotten to him yet but they better snatch him up . He will be huge next year if his original material is also as emotional and great . Good luck . And thank you for following your dream and allowing GOD to use you to touch hearts with your gift , instead of running from it . Whew . Ok im long winded but inspired!
I am not a fan of r&b at all especially 2011 r&b but i would love to hear what this kid is cooking up . A masculine tone is essential . This kids got something special and radiohead should be proud he did the song such justice . I support his journey .
Beautiful
Man . Beautiful voice
