I listened to this cover for a few days on repeat, since I wasn’t able to listen to the original offline.
He changes some of the words, like “California” to “Alabama” in order to make the song his own. His voice is melodic, with richness that is evident in the first few verses. In this cover, Sebastian Kole uses a piano to record a track very similar to the original. 3: Hello – Adele (Sebastian Kole Cover) by Sebastian Kole He also adds several other voice recordings during the chorus, all of himself, which adds to the overall feel of the piece. However, his voice mainly ranges from baritone to tenor, which changes the musicality of the piece. His voice is well balanced, able to hit both the high and low notes of the piece. In addition, he adds different riffs to the song in order to make it his own. Unlike Grace Davies’ interpretation of “Hello,” Brandon Skeie drops the piano in exchange for the guitar, in his interpretation of Adele’s song. 4: Hello – Adele (Brandon Skeie Cover) by Brandon Skeie On first listen, it sounds like the original with similar piano, yet upon second listen, the listener can catch up on the differences in their voices. Her cover holds the same weight of the original, lacking only the tone of Adele’s voice. Her voice is lighter, lacking in Adele’s richness of sound, but making up in her melodic interpretation of the lyrics. Hailing from Lancashire, Britain, Grace Davies follows Adele’s original, with the original lyrics and background piano. Below are five covers that bring Adele’s message across, but in several different ways. When it comes to covers, there are those that capture the essence that the original artist portrayed, and then there are those that step outside of the box and approach it completely differently. Since Adele has been receiving a lot of media attention lately, I knew that it wouldn’t be too long until covers of it would be uploaded to the site. Recently when I was looking through my feed on SoundCloud, several “Hello” covers popped up on my dashboard. The more plays on each track they have, the bigger they become. Unlike Spotify, it allows relatively unknown artists to increase their popularity by the number of plays each of their songs get. SoundCloud is a music platform, not unlike Spotify or Pandora, that allows artists to upload and share music that they have created or covered. And as the music connoisseur that I am, I turned to SoundCloud. To people who don’t know me, I describe myself as a music connoisseur, with tastes in music all over the board, from hip-hop to jazz. I knew right away that there were going to be many covers of her song. When I first listened to “Hello,” I was hooked on to its rich sound and melodic vocals that is to be expected in one of Adele’s songs. Lately, a cover by a South Korean high school student has been blowing up the internet with strong vocals that are a close mimicry to the Grammy-Award winning singer. Since Adele’s “Hello” video came out in October, it has been covered by many artists, ranging from Demi Lovato and DNCE, to Conor Maynard and Emblem3.
