Darren is back with some of the best musicians ever assembled, including Nikki. He's been putting out a new video every week for the last 11 months. www.youtube.com/@singitliveworld/featured He has some of the familiar faces from HSCC ( Nikki, Tzan, Melissa, Zkye etc ) and lots of new faces who are just as good.
Missed seeing that room with all that talent. Great Job.

There's no place to hide with a simple arrangement. Nikki's tone is just lovely.

I see this was uploaded an hour ago. It's 3 am in California, can't sleep, perfect to find this. Darren's familiar smile has been missed by thousands, wonderful to see him again. Nikki's performance is never less than stellar. Thank you both! Merry Christmas!

Ms Nikki, you've been missed. I really enjoyed this rendition and of course Darren's supreme post production work.

The unique acoustics of Darren's basement and his mixing technique is what makes the sound quality a cut above everyone else.

We are SO HAPPY to see Nikki, Darren and Mario performing these songs together! This was absolutely beautiful! Loved all of the musicians in this performance; and, having Nikki's Dad there was so sweet. Just spectacular! Please.....we're ready for more performances!!
Nikki and Darren should prepare an Olivia Newton-john tribute concert soon, with her best songs. She has her style and voice
This band is made in heaven ... crazy good both singer and the musicians.
From the thumbnail it looks like the old HSCC ambience I've always loved. Can't wait to watch and listen to this.

@@peegeface1 Thank you Graham, I have been following singitlive since their first video. I agree with your assessment of their musicianship. Thanks for your message
Incredible!! Linda is a tough artist to cover. This is by far Nikki's best performance, she just keeps getting better!
Wow! I have always loved this song. Nikki's vocals on this made me love it more. Beautifully done Nikki. Great job everyone. Merry Christmas.
Looking forward very much!! Really appreciate our “new” crew.
I've missed this room, glad to see it again. Even more cool to see multiple generations of musicians - keep the great content coming!
Beautiful. Nikki and Darren, there you two are! Missed seeing you perform. Would love to see more of you. Hoping to see Sarah Lloyd.
Good to see Mr Darren again. His sound engineering is fantastic
So good seeing that old room again.
This is wonderful. Love seeing Darren again. Doesnt hurt that Nikki is gorgeous.
The sound and video quality are top notch, not to mention the talent!

So HAPPY to see and hear Nikki and Darren making music together again!
Back to where it began. wonderfull. More videos please.
Jeeze.....! She has such a clear, pristine quality to her voice.....such 'on-point' control at all times! So rare! Sometimes I get the feeling that Australia has inhabitants from off-world realms.....LOL!
Nice to see you guys back in Darren's recording studio. The sound is back!
Ahhh - That lap steel guitar. Well played and well mixed .... Nice slow groove ....
Nikki and Darren, pleas give us more from this great performances. This is wondervul. Greatings from Germany❤🤩

Keith Fisher: agree mostly. I do think Dave Ross is a good sound man but yeah I give Darren the higher score. Con is a smart guy in many ways too but like you, to me as it was birthed in so many of us was the me balanced team of Con and Darren. I have become more positive about e whole sad debacle whatever happened and still think to punch out classics each week to as really good standard is no mean feat. Videography has defo taken a dive. Guess resources are limited but Paedar at SmakOn Content is the biz. Take a look at the Lexington Lab Band to see top musicianship and videography.!

@@daveflanagan4213 I agree and you would know more about the background behind it all. To me, sound is no where near as good as it was, which I can only account to Darren being out of the equation. The videoing is on the lines of a school production and song choice has gone the rock route. Oh for Sarah belting out I’m every woman etc. Ok, still a reasonable listen every Thursday but secretly I’m hoping all the decent vocalists musicians go back to Darren Cheers

I had to take a double look at the upload date... I really miss seeing this location. There was something magical seeing everyone in this space. As always Darren's mixing is amazing!
I love Linda Ronstadt's voice on all songs. After listening to you, you're right there with her! I hope you make it to California someday, I would love to hear you in concert.
So glad to see you two again back in Darren’s basement. Please give us more!
Nikki, you are absolutely adorable! Cuter than a puppy!
Good job and good cover. You have a good voice; I had a lot that I did not listen to this hit by Linda Rondstadt ... your musical arrangement is quite good, very acceptable. I congratulate you...👏👏👍👍
Woowww Fantastic Voice ans Style the music woowww
