Its always a risky business recording a cover of an already extremely successful track but nobody can accuse Zack Knight of being anything but successful in this version.
Sticking to much of the original lyrics, Zack has put his own twist to the song by changing the tempo and style of the song.
.
By backing it with simple but beautiful piano chords, the focus of the song is on Zack and his singing ability and he has not disappointed us.
He clearly has the vocal talent and it shows in this cover where he has no music and auto tune to hide behind.
MY verdict: I have had this song on repeat since I first heard it and it’s so stuck in my head that I have pretty much forgotten the original.. ‘woops’.
Amazing job on the vocals, music AND video, it’s not often I say that.
