Hey guys! So it's been a while since I had a new post, life's just been a constant stream of chaos these days, and I'm just trying to keep a handle on stuff. Unfortunately, I don't take my camera often these days when I go out so I don't have any new stuff to update you with :( But I HAVE discovered something awesome: YOUTUBE COVER ARTISTS. Now you might be saying, "but Kevin, they've been around forever!" to which I would reply "yeah but I'm lazy and I discover things late." LOL but yeah, I was recently introduced to a couple of covers by a good friend of mine and I just instantly fell in love. I mean, I heard heard bits and pieces or just heard of them by name, but once I actually started listening to them, I realized how amazing they really are.
So, today, I'm gonna introduce a few famous ones that are already extremely popular on YouTube (kinda defeats the purpose of introducing them since 99% of the world has heard of them, but bear with me!)
Alex Goot
This man is a god, he plays so many different instruments, and has a voice like he's trying to seduce me with every song. The most interesting thing about his music is that he takes pop songs and tries to put a different spin on them, almost like re-inventing them, it's pretty amazing when you hear it.
It really doesn't matter if you're a fan of the original artist, give Goot's covers a listen!

Sam Tsui
To be honest, I've only ever heard one Sam Tsui song before I started getting into cover artists and that was his cover of Just a Dream alongside Christina Grimmie and was flat-out AMAZING. Their voices match together so well, it's actually pretty awesome! Plus, it was pretty much a whole new take on Nelly's song, minus the R&B part.

Holy crap, listen to that, that's awesome right there. Although the auto-tune in the song is a bit obvious at times, he manages to pull it off well and still remain true to his voice. Many thumbs up to this (Y).

May I just add that Fix You is one of my favourite songs of all time, and I highly recommend you check out the original by Coldplay, it's a fantastic song.
Welp, there goes another post, hope you guys check out these awesome cover artists, I'm totally hooked on them at the moment. Hopefully I'll free up some time with another photopost sometime soon, stay tuned for more interesting stuff ! :)
