With Adele’s new hit song “Hello” debuting at number one on the Billboard Top 100 chart, it is no wonder that there is a large abundance of covers and parodies on YouTube. As you are searching for a change from Adele’s perfectly soothing vocals, check out Conor Maynard. He is a 22 year-old English singer-songwriter who posts cover videos, along with original music on his YouTube channel. 

One of his most recent additions was a spot-on interpretation of “Hello.” His beautiful tenor vocals mixed with an all-piano accompaniment track is not one to be missed.

He flawlessly nails the high notes of the chorus, a feat in which most people wish they could do without sounding like a prepubescent child, and interprets Adele’s lyrics into a more modern pop sound. ​

I cannot forget to mention the fact that he brings Anth, a rapper and close friend of his, for an amazing verse which is nothing short of phenomenal. The lyrics in this additional verse bring back emotional recollections you did not even know you had. Not to mention that the ending of this verse is powerful enough to hit a sociopath right in the feels with the lyrics “You don’t even need a gun. You don’t even need a pill. If you ever want to die, fall in love and you’ll get killed.”

So please, if you have yet to hear this flawless piece of musical mastery, check it out below.
