I can honestly say that Alejandro’s music changed my life. It was like the first time I heard Michael Jackson’s music - you can never be the same. He is a true and rare treasure.

Could be the audio engineer mixing the tracks. One of the most under rated aspects of music. The sound mixer can literally make or break a show. But of course he could just be improving as a singer lawl

Never ever have a heard someone play a guitar but make it sound like so many instruments are playing at the same time . His music heals the soul deeply

You can really hear the progress. His throat is relaxed and his shoulders and chest are open instead of his old hunched up posture and that is allowing him to project better, and he can now control his volume and pitch without losing his control. It's just confidence and practice but he's so much better than I've ever heard him. He still has that beautiful tone but it's fuller and more nuanced now. He is genuinely talented but with this new belief and confidence he is now a really really good performer. I watched every episode of him on Idol and only for him and it genuinely makes me feel good to see him succeed, he's a lovely lad and he deserves everything he is now achieving.

The other guy was good but he lost the previous year and came back on the show to win. So he already had an established famous before entering the show. Kinda unfair for Alejandro who could’ve won if it wasn’t for the judges pleading the winner to re enter the competition knowing he’d win.

I’m a grandma lady and I love Alejandro @scarypoolparty and watched every episode of American Idol. I will always remember how blown away Lionel Ritchie & the other judges were. Truly brilliant in every facet of music.

I’d love to see what he would do with a banjo! Watching him play makes me want to get back to all my finger rolls and see if I can do that syncopation thing on the strings. He is sooooo inspiring!❤️❤️❤️

He just made that guitar a very happy guitar 🎸😉

Really love Alejandro Aranda

I love his fingerwork on Millennial Love. Very subtle but genius. It shows you don't need to do a ton of tricks in the span of a few seconds to impress.

Such a terrific song-writer .. beautiful melodies, piercing lyrics, catchy hooks .. as an acoustic guitar player, he's one of the best I've ever seen.

Had no clue their drummer was from Mutemath....Heard them back right before college. And now with Scarypoolparty everything comes fill circle with the changes in my life/music. Surreal to see connections like this in music we listen to.

There recording equipment is so good , you can feel the emotion Alejandro is singing with , I love every bit of this. Scarypoolparty fan for life!🎶🤘🔥

I honestly didn't think that Alejandro could get any better but this acoustic set is AMAZING. Best yet.

THE BARD! The man! The legend! The old soul singer! Damn right! EPIC!

I noticed his emotions at the last few notes of 10 years. When he stops, a few seconds silence from the audience, i believe they have also got the raw feelings from Alejandro. Magic! The millenial love too, very nice and emotional rendition! Thank you Alejandro

This guy take us on a rollercoaster. First fell inlove with his acoustic style. Now I'm really into his liuder style (love Diaminds). He's classic 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 (Beneath the skin)!! OMG..... Love you Alejandro.

Hear this with the very best Earphones you can get. Fantastic!!

This was absolutely fantastic. Scarypoolparty is beyond unbelievably talented. A true musical prodigy whose melodies heal one's soul. Grateful beyond words.

Thank you, Paste Magazine, for having Scarypoolparty on your show today. It was a great interview and a very special performance and he sounds absolutely incredible. His voice is smooth as silk and his guitar playing is so tasteful. I love those songs so much, and I was very excited when he mentioned that "Millenial Love" will be coming out very soon. I think it's just a matter of time before we see him on a Grammy stage one day receiving some awards.

So up close and personal...saw Alejandro front row center in Camdridge July and will be there front row in Boston in 2 days to dance to Alejandro as Scarypoolparty...listen to his music every day and speak with other fans...always inspired...chills and thrills

I dont even know how to explain this guy. Truly remarkable

Fabulous!✨🎶 Next on the Tour...Europe & Mexico!🎊💥🎉🔥

I love how he keeps adding new wrinkles to his older songs! Plus, his voice keeps improving!

Saw Alejandro in Sac at the Ace of Spades, he was spectacular

Goodness the way he sings makes you feel what he is saying. Goodness great person! 👏👏👏

I love his voice but it's his guitar skills that get me. Goosebumps. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

He adds new dimensions to these first hits of his here. Sign of a true artist!

I love all ScaryPoolParty's work...but his acoustic gives me chills every time. Acoustic guitar is so pure. And he's a Nick Drake fan❤️!

WOW! Kid is getting around!! He was so shy and he didn’t even want to perform a few times and the American Idol kids encouraged him and told him he could do it!! Thank Goodness he did!! Look at him NOW! NO looking back!!

SPP is something else...❤

OMG he has one of the best drummers on the planet (in the band version)! Love this man!

Im a big fan of #alejandroaranda .. pure talent.. i played drums with many solo artist and never seen the magic he project’s!! 👏🏻😎 #scarypoolparty

Just amazing how he could flip from this version of ML to the band one, my favorite is his opening of the last Fall tour at Belasco on 11/22. He is doing it like no one else. Super talented!
