Bunmi’s alto range is simply a breath of fresh air on this bluesy piece. Her cover of Elijah Rock is slower paced to Mahalia’s tap dancey one. The cover starts with notes from the organ and beats from the drums. Her tone is all round rich…
‘Now unto the Lamb upon the throne, we raise a sound’, reminds me of the melody of Westlife’s ‘Fool Again’… Nosa adlibs characteristically, with cool Nigerianness.
Baylor’s vocals are strong, robust and delicious, accompanied by crisp and soothing back ups. The instrumental, which is a mixer of synthesizers, the lead and bass guitars, as well as drums is so yummy, I could almost taste Bob Marley’s ‘No Woman, No Cry’. Enjoying this song is like eating strong meat with the greats…
Koryn does growl her heart out after the bridge, and the mix controls it, making it even prettier. The chorus allows the bass guitar shine with yummy deliciousness…
How do you recognize who is singing a song without even seeing their face? The answer is TONE and it is simply the distinct character, colour or quality of the (singing) voice.
