In a day and age when everyone is covering POP songs and posting them on YouTube, it’s a bit more challenging to stand out. My biggest peeve with YouTube cover stars is when they try to sing EVERY song like the original artist, you might pull it off but there’s a 98% chance the original is still better, so why bother? If you want to capture my attention, try to reinvent the song, do something different to make it your own.
Thankfully, Colin McLoughlin has done exactly this and more with Rihanna’s hit single, “Stay”. His stunning rendition stays true to the original while making the song all his own, from the production to the harmonies to the vocals, everything is just brilliant and feels as fresh as an original.
Listen to his beautifully haunting take on “Stay” below, are you a fan? If you like it enough, support Collin and buy it, I certainly did.
Purchase “Stay (Rihanna Cover)” on iTunes
