Kaleo is a pure talent, they're so underrated. "Save Yourself", "Way Down We Go", "Break My Baby", "Hey Gringo", "All the Pretty Girls", "Backbone", "No Good" etc and they have videos filmed in beautiful places: in a volcano, in an ice cave, near an erupting volcano, on an ice floe, on top of a rock. And yes, their music is very bluesy.
This song is so amazing. It got me at the end also with that whistle. They are rightly called Kaleo. It's their SOUND. It gets you right in the center... the center of your being.
Kaleo are truly talented and kind of like a hidden gem for many. They deserve way more attention! Please do a reaction to Paolo Nutini, he's definitely worth listening to as well. And he's half scottish 😉
Saw them yesterday in Frankfurt. Hands down best vocalist I've ever seen in concert. Not even close, he left everything he had on that stage. They only did No Good for an encore, but everyone understood there was nothing else to give. You have to watch a performance of that.
Need more Kaleo reactions, this dude is unreal and has so many good live performances. I saw them live this summer at a small venue in Lowell, MA and they blew me away
I think of it as “whistling in the dark”, a very lonely sound, which speaks to the loneliness of the lyrics. I saw them in concert and they blow you away.
Hi ! Their cover of "Bang Bang" live on siriusxm, is probably his best vocal performance. And if you would like to see more of this band, all their live performances (on their channel) contain great Icelandic landscape, Skinny in front of a volcanic eruption is amazing
Extremely underrated band. Jökull Júlíusson voice is just next level, there are not even a handful of people with this amazing and powerful kind of voice. Once side I wish they could get more attention cause they truly deserve it and on the other hand I don’t want them to become mainstream and maybe they lose their way of music.
Had been on a sort of bands bucket list of mine to see them live and finally got to see them recently. Our minds were blown and love them even more now!!!
I’ve been listening to Kaleo for 3-4 years now, and I cannot get enough of them. Although the sound is such a melting pot of styles and genres as you say Beth, their sound is very unique and so addictive. I’m super excited that you have got hooked by them as well
I see Kaleo I click, they're such an underrated band and became my second favorite band right after Muse The landscapes they use to record these videos are simply breathtaking, I recommend you to listen Skinny which is recorded during a volcanic eruption, or to Hey Gringo, which has no video, but it is really different from this style Greetings from Mexico Beth
Fuck yeah, I've been waiting for a proper vocal coach to breakdown his voice for A LONG TIME, they're soooo underrated, PLEASE react to other stuff from them, I would suggest My Fair Lady from their new record.
Never really knew about these guys, aside from a single radio hit I'd heard a couple of times. Then I saw them at a festival last summer and found myself ordering their records on vinyl on the spot. Absolutely amazing sound.
So happy to see Kaleo show up on your channel. The mix of Icelandic tones and Americana Bluegrass is simply fantastic. I'd love to see you do a video on Barton Hollow by The Civil Wars.
The first time I heard Kaleo, I was hooked. Maybe you should try "Vor I Vaglaskogi"... sang in Icelandic... Beautiful. And I would really like to hear your thoughts on "Evie" by Stevie Wright, an australian singer.
Kelly Finnigan "Catch me I'm Falling" You have to hear this voice, it will take you back in time. Simply amazing artist! Really enjoyed this reaction, I new you would love Kaleo.😎✌

When I heard that the band is from Iceland the thought of “blues” never came to mind. I like the music but I can’t think of how to describe it so I won’t :-) Some of your subscribers have suggested other songs by Kaleo which I’ll definitely have to check out. Thanks for the introduction Ms. Roars.
I put them in the comments quite a few times, I'm glad that you got to hear them. This is early on, he is so much better know Imo, but you could check out his cover of cher's song bang bang, one of the best vocal performances I've seen
I wish more would listen to kaleo check out his cover of how it feels .. and all his music .. I love all talent and follow many artist of all genre's and followed most from their earliest days from Chris Stapleton, Adam calhoun, hospital, nf kaleo and many others so much talent out there
If you get the chance go to a live concert! Saw them at Red Rocks in Colorado last week. Sold out and everyone was on their feet for almost an hour and a half! They had 4 gals on strings and two gals singing backup. Magical!
Well that certainly got you.... I had only heard Way down we go by this band but right on my track.. Also the 18 year old Diana Ankudinova did a informal cover of Way down ... she had fun and it suited her voice so well..👍🏼😎. A fan then went on and made a recut video of her performance with the bands and it works beautifully.. 😎🧙♂️🇬🇧
I’d love you hear your reaction to Lisa singing gurenge on the channel the first take! Not English but definitely worth listening to just cause of the emotion she puts into it
nice one. kaleo is really good. if you love icelandic bands there are so many to discover, like ásgeir, hjaltalín, sóley, valdimar, agent fresco, júníus meyvant, ..... still cannot understand why susanne sundfor (N) and anna von hausswolff (SE) havn't been featured yet. in my opinion they are under the best musicians and voices of our time.
Have you ever checked out Wolfmother? Andrew Stockdale is the singer. I searched them on youtube and could not find any vocal coach video on him. Give “Violence of the Sun” off of Cosmic egg album a listen.
Well, they thought they were made for each other Only thinking of one another Never thinking just for one second She would take a different attraction We don't want that We don't want that We don't want that, oh no We don't want that We don't want that We don't want that, oh no I can't go on without you I can't go on without you Can't go on without you, yeah I can't go on without you Oh, so what's the point of breaking my sweet heart? She wanted me to let down my guard Well, you know what they say, it's It's better that way, so So, you better hush and walk away We don't want that We don't want that We don't want that, oh no We don't want that We don't want that We don't want that, oh no I can't go on without you I can't go on without you, oh, Lord Can't go on without you I can't go on, won't go on Living on, without you Oh, yeah Woah, oh Well, was I supposed to wait for you sweetheart? And hide away the shame, yes I keep it all inside Though the thought had crossed my mind To do all the things I'll regret, we don't want that We don't want that We don't want that We don't want that, oh no We don't want that We don't want that We don't want that, oh no I can't, I can't, I can't go on without you I can't go on without you, oh, Lord Go on without you I can't go on without you, babe Yeah Oh, she loves me She loves me not She loves me My love don't love me Oh, so what is left but a broken man? 'Cause nothing hurts like a woman can I can't go on without you I can't go on without you, oh yeah Can't go on without you I can't go on without you, oh Oh, without you Lord, without you Without you, babe Without you, oh Oh, Lord You
I'm off to see this band (for the second time) in June in London.. tight band, he hits every note on stage. There are so many videos you could react to of this band. This one is relatively tame. They get out on ice floes, volcanoes. They also do a live performance on a helipad of a Icelandic lighthouse which is well worth a look. The guy also has the best hair in rock music today.
Just saw them the other day and first off it was one of the best concerts I've been to and Second he has long hair now lmao didn't expect it when he walked out
Introduced to me by my son. Seen them 4 times in concert. We saw them at Red Rocks last week. Beyond awesome! First time he saw them was years ago. Was a random venue in Reno. Promo with a local radio station. Only let in 80 people. Has been severely hooked ever since!
Kaleo is an amazing band! I was really glad you did a reaction to them. I wish you'd do one with a song by Anathema. A Natural Disaster would be awesome.
I've just searched youtube for a professional vocalist who's reacted to anything by Melanie Safka. It doesn't seem to exist, which is just criminal. Perhaps you might consider reacting to something like 'Lay Down' or 'Look what they've done to my song, ma'?
did you know that the northernmost part of norway, svalbard, is celebrating the beginning of the polar night when the is darkness all around many days with a blues festival?
Lol jökull is my cousin so it’s funny seeing you react to him, well I don’t know him but he’s a cousin from my dads side, icelands a small country I can tell ya hahah
A few lesser known artists/groups I'd love to see you react to, Beth Orton, suggested tracks Sweetest Decline, Pass in Time, Stolen Car and Central Reservation. Elysian Fields tracks Rope of Weeds and Black Acres, and lastly, while being far more well known, would love to see you react to some Massive Attack in particular Dissolved Girl, Black Milk and Group Four since almost all the reactions out there to their music is for Unfinished Sympathy, Teardrop and Angel. Don't get me wrong all great tracks but that's only scratching the surface of such a revolutionary and musically important group that along with Portishead, defined the entire trip hop genre. P.S. Also wouldn't be at all disappointed if you decided to cover a few more Portishead tracks as well, Western Eyes, Humming and Glory Box spring to mind =)!!!

Literally any song
You forgot broken bones
Hay Gringo is soooo coool
into my mothers arms is also amazing
broken bones is also a rlly good song
Finally this band is getting the attention they deserve...well played Beth
Viking soul.
The guy has an amazing voice. A gift from God!
This is probably the best band in the world.
And Nothing but Thieves
@@ZbyszekTym24 meaning?
@@Nifilheimur its a band
This song is so amazing. It got me at the end also with that whistle. They are rightly called Kaleo. It's their SOUND. It gets you right in the center... the center of your being.
Love KALEO, you've probably heard their hit "Way Down We Go", but I gotta say, love jamming to No Good in my car
Same, great song to jam
My go to is their live performance of Break My Baby 👌
Check bang bang live
Omg same here. That song is epicly good in the car and during summer.
I recently was introduced to Kaleo. Absolutely an amazing group.
God, more people should react to Kaleo. All their songs, ALL OF THEM, are amazing! Thanks for this Beth!
Kaleo are truly talented and kind of like a hidden gem for many. They deserve way more attention!
Please do a reaction to Paolo Nutini, he's definitely worth listening to as well. And he's half scottish 😉

Saw them live in Los Angeles 2 years ago best live performance I’ve seen in a long time.
This is one rabbit hole worthy of a deep dive!
Thank you, Beth. I heard JJ live before 2020, but post 2020 JJ and the band brought soul back into music, which honestly, we lost a lot after 2020.
Need more Kaleo reactions, this dude is unreal and has so many good live performances. I saw them live this summer at a small venue in Lowell, MA and they blew me away
Saw them live this summer. Loved them before but live they blowed me out! IF you get the chance- go see them, one of the best conserts ever!
Kaleo has become one of my favorite bands. Sooooo good.
I think of it as “whistling in the dark”, a very lonely sound, which speaks to the loneliness of the lyrics. I saw them in concert and they blow you away.
Hi ! Their cover of "Bang Bang" live on siriusxm, is probably his best vocal performance. And if you would like to see more of this band, all their live performances (on their channel) contain great Icelandic landscape, Skinny in front of a volcanic eruption is amazing
JJ’s power really shows in that song, it’s so amazing how he nails it perfectly in every live version you find on youtube
Extremely underrated band. Jökull Júlíusson voice is just next level, there are not even a handful of people with this amazing and powerful kind of voice.
Once side I wish they could get more attention cause they truly deserve it and on the other hand I don’t want them to become mainstream and maybe they lose their way of music.
Had been on a sort of bands bucket list of mine to see them live and finally got to see them recently. Our minds were blown and love them even more now!!!
Kaleo is an awesome band, so different to the rest, but they need more attention; they are fantastic, how not love them?
"i want more " from kaleo is lovely
I’ve been listening to Kaleo for 3-4 years now, and I cannot get enough of them. Although the sound is such a melting pot of styles and genres as you say Beth, their sound is very unique and so addictive.
I’m super excited that you have got hooked by them as well
sold over one million albums worldwide, was certified double platinum in the US and music for X men... Phenomenal voice and talent
More kaleo reactions, please.
I love this song. Hearing you break it down and explain stuff I ddint even realize is amazing! Hope to catch more of your breakdowns thank you!
I see Kaleo I click, they're such an underrated band and became my second favorite band right after Muse
The landscapes they use to record these videos are simply breathtaking, I recommend you to listen Skinny which is recorded during a volcanic eruption, or to Hey Gringo, which has no video, but it is really different from this style
Greetings from Mexico Beth
Come from the same village as Sigurrós. Electrified Mississippi Blues by guys from Mosfellsbaer in the North Atlantic.
Love Kaleo and it was very interesting listening to the voice coach
i really love the song called ''Vor í vaglaskógi'' from kaleo, it soo beautiful. but it is in icelandic. i would really love you reaction to it
Fuck yeah, I've been waiting for a proper vocal coach to breakdown his voice for A LONG TIME, they're soooo underrated, PLEASE react to other stuff from them, I would suggest My Fair Lady from their new record.
Never really knew about these guys, aside from a single radio hit I'd heard a couple of times. Then I saw them at a festival last summer and found myself ordering their records on vinyl on the spot. Absolutely amazing sound.
You absolutely need to watch/react to their version of this song from 89.3 The Current. It's nothing short of heavenly.
So happy to see Kaleo show up on your channel. The mix of Icelandic tones and Americana Bluegrass is simply fantastic. I'd love to see you do a video on Barton Hollow by The Civil Wars.
The first time I heard Kaleo, I was hooked. Maybe you should try "Vor I Vaglaskogi"... sang in Icelandic... Beautiful.
And I would really like to hear your thoughts on "Evie" by Stevie Wright, an australian singer.
Huge Amazing Voice with a very broad range…reminds me a lot the Legendary Freddie Mercury
Kelly Finnigan "Catch me I'm Falling"
You have to hear this voice, it will take you back in time. Simply amazing artist! Really enjoyed this reaction, I new you would love Kaleo.😎✌

I think the live recording of this they did for radio was a bit better than this particular recording, but I love this song regardless. 😊
Aaah, I've been waiting forever for this review ❤️
Very strong blues influence!
Yes finally a vocal coach reacting to kaleo. Check out hey gringo and their cover of bang bang both amazing
you got it on the dot kaleo is a blues rock
I wish more would listen to kaleo check out his cover of how it feels .. and all his music .. I love all talent and follow many artist of all genre's and followed most from their earliest days from Chris Stapleton, Adam calhoun, hospital, nf kaleo and many others so much talent out there
this was so well said. You characterized he "starkness" perfectly.
If you get the chance go to a live concert! Saw them at Red Rocks in Colorado last week. Sold out and everyone was on their feet for almost an hour and a half! They had 4 gals on strings and two gals singing backup. Magical!
Beautiful!
Well that certainly got you....

Way down we go is outstanding. Please give a listen
you really need to check out their cover of "bang bang", its on youtube nad its my all time favourite song, his vocals on it is amazing
If we're going Iceland, I want to see some Sigur Ros reactions!
Nice choice. Atmospheric location! Liked it! Quality!
Kaleo's music makes me want to drink really good bourbon whiskey and wrap myself in silk or velvet. So damned good...silky and smooth.
Just now heard of these guys but it's making want to break out the Scotch and go down the youtube rabbit hole
This band is fucking dope.
we need more of kaleo PLEASE, My fav would be Vor í Vaglaskógi. you should really get into their newest album tho its more upbeat 8)
I love Kaleo ...
hey listen to their new take on an Icelandic classic "Sofðu unga ástin mín"
I adore Kaleo!
And please listen to vor í Vaglaskói, its á Icelandic Classic
They have this song called all the pretty girls where he sings only in his head voice, is amaaaaazing
you should do a reaction to Bang Bang cover by Kaleo
Amazing song
I love that you chose a different song from Way Down We Go.
Kaleo do a a song called Rock N Roller, they only do it live and it has insane vocals
I’d love you hear your reaction to Lisa singing gurenge on the channel the first take! Not English but definitely worth listening to just cause of the emotion she puts into it
You should listen to Kaleo's 'Save Yourself'. So heartrendingly lonely.
I actually randomly saw them live when they opened for the rolling stones in 2017.
nice one. kaleo is really good. if you love icelandic bands there are so many to discover, like ásgeir, hjaltalín, sóley, valdimar, agent fresco, júníus meyvant, .....
still cannot understand why susanne sundfor (N) and anna von hausswolff (SE) havn't been featured yet. in my opinion they are under the best musicians and voices of our time.
As a vocal coach how could you never heard of Kaleo before🤷🏽♂️
Yoooo I love this song!!!
The best thing to come from iceland since the vikings
Have you ever checked out Wolfmother? Andrew Stockdale is the singer. I searched them on youtube and could not find any vocal coach video on him. Give “Violence of the Sun” off of Cosmic egg album a listen.
Blues infiltrates.
Well, they thought they were made for each other
Only thinking of one another
Never thinking just for one second
She would take a different attraction
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that, oh no
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that, oh no
I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you
Can't go on without you, yeah
I can't go on without you
Oh, so what's the point of breaking my sweet heart?
She wanted me to let down my guard
Well, you know what they say, it's
It's better that way, so
So, you better hush and walk away
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that, oh no
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that, oh no
I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh, Lord
Can't go on without you
I can't go on, won't go on
Living on, without you
Oh, yeah
Woah, oh
Well, was I supposed to wait for you sweetheart?
And hide away the shame, yes I keep it all inside
Though the thought had crossed my mind
To do all the things I'll regret, we don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that, oh no
We don't want that
We don't want that
We don't want that, oh no
I can't, I can't, I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh, Lord
Go on without you
I can't go on without you, babe
Yeah
Oh, she loves me
She loves me not
She loves me
My love don't love me
Oh, so what is left but a broken man?
'Cause nothing hurts like a woman can
I can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh yeah
Can't go on without you
I can't go on without you, oh
Oh, without you Lord, without you
Without you, babe
Without you, oh
Oh, Lord
You

This song is very personal for the singer as its about bein cheated on.
I saw an interview with him, several years ago. He said this song was the most personal for him. So, I think you’re right!
You should do Orville Peck
