He has such an airy voice, it so ethereal, like an echo.
Incredible rendition of the song. Also just enough reverb to enhance the track and not make it feel cheap, excellent work on the crew all around. Also mad props to the guitarist for really giving it all, and the engineer for letting that all shine through. Just a fun listen. I love you all..
Such a sick way to cover that song. It totally brings a different vibe which is refreshing but totally pays tribute to it as well! Just WOW.
Instant mood lift, amazing cover
my jaw literally dropped as soon as he opened his mouth. Just sat there like :O
I respect that they stuck with the original lyrics and didn't change them to things like "girl, just come along". A confidence that wouldn't have been present 10-15 years ago.

I like the original for sure. But WOW!! This is incredible! Incredible is not a strong enough word! His voice is so beautiful, hypnotic, I could listen all day. And the way he sings/performs so nonchalantly and relaxed I can't stop watching and listening. I am completely in love with this cover. I can listen to his voice singing this song 24/7! Hypnotic is one of the words I have heard people use to describe his voice and I agree! I think I am in love! Congratulations to Royel Otis! Wonderful!!
Proof that bangers survive.
This is like one of those magical music moments that surpasses insane talent (which they absolutely have) and incredible song writing (which it absolutely is). Looks like the Royel Otis felt it too. Amazing cover!
