Cupid will certainly have a 100% accuracy when this song is on.
Though Bruno Mars is an awesome singer, one of the best versions of his song can be found on YouTube as performed by Kris Lawrence, the Heart of R&B in the Philippines.
Without a need for many accompaniments, Lawrence knocked this one out of the park!
As soon as the song starts playing, Lawrence’s vocals are smooth and controlled.
Even though the pitch of the instrumental was slightly high, Lawrence had no problem hitting all the high notes while he was still sitting down. Even though it was a slightly different arrangement, it sounded just as good as the original—and he was able to make it his own. He added different twists into the song from the first verse to the last. And as he kept singing, it just got better and better.
His voice is so captivating!
As it turns out, this isn’t the only one of these performances to have made the rounds on the internet. Wish 107.5 has posted many other in-studio performances with similarly impressive songs—including some others by Lawrence himself. Even so, this is definitely one of the best of them all.
This guy’s runs and riffs are so amazing that everyone listening to this rendition will have their mouths wide open in amazement.
This song is so hard to sing because of its high pitch, but Lawrence did it so well without the help of any autotune or back up vocals. The entire thing is 100% his own voice, and YouTube commenters took notice:
“Wow! Like a Blade! We should really appreciate how clear, crisp, and clean his singing of this song was…did not overdo anything, gave justice and respect to Bruno Mars. Kudos to your musicality Kris Lawrence! And thanks Wish FM, for posting these covers!”
Chills will come running down the spine with on how he executes his falsettos seamlessly. He did not even bother to stand up to hit those high notes—he just relaxed until the end.
As it turns out, Lawrence’s musical career is just getting started—alongside two of his “soul brothers.”
Lawrence continues to impress his fans with his soulful voice along with the voices of his best friends and bandmates, Jay R and Billy Crawford. All of them are considered R&B royalty in the Philippines, and together, they call themselves the “Soul Brothers.” They recently did a concert that was celebrated by their fans, many of whom had been following them since they were solo artists.
You might be wondering, where is he even performing the song?
Does it seem strange that there are people and cars passing by in the background?
As it turns out, Lawrence is performing on Wish 107.5’s mobile FM Station. This means that the station goes anywhere in the Philippines to let local singers and national singers perform their songs! For those who want more examples of Lawrence’s talent, he also sang an English version of “Eyes, Nose, Lips” by Korean pop superstar Tae Yang. Aside from both having great voices, Lawrence and Yang actually have some resemblance to one another!
Beyond Lawrence, Wish 107.5 even features international artists like Dua Lipa, David Archuleta, Dan Hill and Jessica Sanchez and their channel as well.
