First Time Hearing Haley Reinhart “Creep Radiohead Cover” Reaction

Haley is amazing, but don’t overlook the backing band. Postmodern Jukebox is incredible, I’ve seen them live several times. They have a core handful of musicians and add others as needed, and they’re all top-notch. They have a huge catalog, and their arrangements are all so cool. Scott Bradlee, the pianist and the guy that does all the arrangements was at one of the concerts I went to, and took live requests and did mashups on the fly. It was seriously impressive

excellent reaction. haley is one the greatest, most unique vocalist of our time. postmodern jukebox (or pmj) takes current popular songs and completely re-imagines them vintage (1920s to 1960s) in the music itself and style of the performances that actually take you back in time. they have a variety of good vocals but haley reinhart especially with postmodern jukebox is incredible. all the other haley/pmj ones are great also: “all about the bass”, “habits”, “black hole sun”, “mad world”, “seven nations army”, “oops i did it again”, “lovefool” and the very recent “don’t speak” that definitely has the james bond vibe. i think what is so phenomenal about haley is not just her amazing silk to sandpaper voice but also her character and soul that she puts into the performances. even when she uses very little of her unique vocal acrobatics, her pure raw soft voice is amazing like in the intro of “creep”. you see this even more in her solo platinum cover of “can’t help falling in love” for the extra gum commercial which is truly stunning and frequently described as what love sounds like here: (www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uNpEbt7w_o )
