    Morgan always sounds like she's got way more in reserve than we could handle. Power, range and soulfulness from a beautiful woman.

    Morgan’s voice is so immaculate and clear, and also love how well she annunciates her words with so much clarity! I’m not a musician, so I run out of the proper adjectives to express what her voice does to me, as many of her songs can make me very feel very emotional! A real treat meeting her on TH-cam!

    Nirvana songs are magical, lyrics aren’t anything special sometimes they don’t make sense but the rhythm, tune, chords on acoustic are beyond amazing!

    Morgan James could sing/vocalize the license agreement for Apple and it still would be awesome and totally mesmerizing experience. Gifted girl for sure.

    I got goosebumps on my arms and legs, when you started the second verse- loved the change in the key. Your version of Lithium is amazing! Definitely a curious sound going on with the slide on the guitar and your vocal choir section who are singing in sync to you- beautiful! 💋

    • @MrRQJ
      @MrRQJ 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      its easy to explain - she has an immense talent, but you won't be able to remember any of songs from her own album a day after listening. And you won't sell out stadiums to sing covers.

    Impressive how Morgan keeps challenging herself. The version produced here was a very challenging one and a success should I say. Congrats to the back singers as well. Please check in particular the channel of Melany Watson back singer on the right, don’t know her personally but she’s amazing too.

    Okay. This is the thing about Kurt. You do not define a generation with your music, you do it with your words. There is no one that is more underrated as a writer in music than Kurt Cobain. No one. He is really a great writer. But it gets obscured with the loudness of the music, and just the whole image of him and the band. (I understand their music came like a shock and changed everything, but without that writing they would not have the lasting impact that they have, I don't think.) I am a writer myself, and I am telling you that this is major, firing on all cylinders, writing. It is original writing filled with personality. It is everything that every writer tries to achieve. And she sings it great. I didn't know she covered this. I heard her cover of Beatles White Album.

    Nice choice. I commend you for stepping out of your comfort zone on this one while still giving it your signature touch. If you can do such a great job on this I would love to see what you could do with Square Hammer. It aches for an acoustic treatment and a strong female voice.
