      I feel the problem here is about chours its not the same like the original, and who mix the all things, voice key drum guitar, no make a mix so sweet, with revs delays and all stuff to make you feel so sweet this song, the man who are singing GREAT voice but if the man Behind the musician make the correctly mix....The song make you feel like the original...anyway GreatSong

    I first heard Cautious Clay on Season 3 of the HBO Original Series, Insecure, which always features incredible music. His song "Cold War" is track #3 on music album from that most recent season. His voice and that particular track grabbed my attention as a stand-out. I searched further and found this Tiny Desk performance, which really showcases his broad talent. Thanks as always, NPR, for featuring amazing artists in such an intimate venue... love it!
