- The fabulous vocalist Aisha Jackson is featured in this neo-soul inspired arrangement of "Beneath the Mask" from the incredible sound track of Persona 5 (composer Shoji Meguro) arranged for full big band and string section! I've always loved this theme as it really encapsulated the vibe of meandering around the streets of Tokyo in game with your friends with a slight air of secrecy in your heart. I added in a little nod to the great Jill Scott in there for you as well if you catch it ;) Hope you enjoy!

I had such a fun time reimagining persona as pixel art! Absolutely lovely song, it’s my favorite for sure. Thank you for letting me work on this! ❤
looked really cool, good job
You are incredible! Amazing work!
Outstanding job!
You nailed it, so cozy
I've never played Persona (only listened to its music), but the top left detail? I imagine that's a detail from the game, but does it also signify that this video dropped on Monday, the 11th?
Imagine her singing "Rivers in the Desert". It would be epic
oh god she would kill rivers. i fucking need it now
I want to hear Rivers now too. Also, Sae's dungeon would sound awesome!
whims of fate would be awesome as well!
PLEASE
You read my mind!!
I love Aisha’s control in this. She just hits the notes pure in the first verse, not too much inflection or too many runs. It shows both respect for the original song and confidence in her vocal ability. It’s giving “Girl, I KNOW I can sing”. The payoff is so satisfying when she lets loose towards the middle and allows the fans of the original work to appreciate what only SHE can do. Singers take notes, THIS is how you do a cover.
amen
Well said! 💯👍🏾
This is the most articulate way to say "Thank god no one oversang"
@dirbyozz Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia would have oversang for sure. Lol I'm so glad they didn't get anyone that sounds too "churchy" with their singing on this 8 bit band cover.. Sometimes it's nice but not always are the heavy vocals necessary for some songs in my opinion. My Wife love them but I feel they yell too much. LOL Aisha was PERFECT for this 8 bit band cover
CALM DOWN RAYE
The vocals are 100% the best vocals I’ve ever heard in any cover of a persona 5 song.
Her vocal texture and control is mind blowing. So good!!!!!🤯😭👏👏
Yoo
Hi InstrumentManiac! Love your covers of Undertale musics
Aisha’s vocals are EVERYTHING!!! Ya’ll did a 100/10 job 💎
I went to college with this incredible woman!! She has always been a stunning performer and a joy to listen to and know. Way to go Aisha! ❤
If I had that voice I would *never* shut up
Idk it's so liberating to hear someone singing so beautifully and effortlessly, props tho the orchestra that enhaced that👏
Persona x Jill Scott is such an unexpected and beautiful mix! Shout out to Aisha for perfectly imitating her voice and to the band for incorporating her groove into an already great song
Jesus...
Ya start with the "Long Walk" by Jill Scott guitar, give the whole song a distinct neo soul vibe and then top it off with a bass riff from Call Tyrone and then smooth it out like a damn D'angelo Voodoo session.
This is on some Soulquarians type vibes.
Unbelievable how good this is. Aisha Jackson is the perfect vocalist for this. The smokiness, the soul! That guitar solo by Nir Felder is incredible as well. Just perfection.
I was FLOATING the entire time listening to this. You guys are such an inspiration and just a joy to listen to. Fingers crossed you guys are considered for another Grammy
Aisha blew my mind here. The accompanying music feels like such a smooth wave of life just flowing by. Something everyone needs. Just stop and smell the coffee. ❤
Yes the vocals are great, but damnn that arrangement and orchestra deserves sooo much more love and praise! Simply mindblowing!!
Forreal 👍
everyone did their part
That was phenomenal. I really wasn't expecting something that surpassed the original!
This is black people music so it’s kinda a given that she would sound more authentic
“Ah you’re back”
Persona 6 needs her voice
This is simply distilled 𝒸𝑜𝑜𝓁. Slightly uptempo, but on the backbeat and with some absolutely powerful peaks from Aisha. When the whole corps comes in, it's Bond-esque goosebump city.
Waiting to hear this on Sirius XM Watercolors, which is my favorite station. It sounds like it just belongs there. People might have no idea whatsoever that this is VGM, but it's so good that they wouldn't care. But for me, it just makes it that much better. Another Grammy coming down the pike, perhaps?
Yeah, I'm gonna say it again here too...I want an entire Persona 5 album so much! This was phenomenal!
The vocalists you guys get on board are unreal. Such a bliss to listen to
This was the best performance I've ever seen in my twenty one years of living. The vocals, the imagery, and the band. You guys are so very talented. Thank you for blessing my ears with this beautiful song.
y'all have been killing it lately! first can you feel the sunshine, now this?? so good!
yo, ain't no way someone could survive after 3:50. Holy shit!
5:06 gets me everytime
Persona 5 set in New York
Her vocals are so good
I’d love to hear a cover of Whims of Fate
I don't usually cry at non heavy jazzy soulful songs but Aisha's vocal performance & the band's synergy in the middle is exhilarating ❤ this I'll be my favourite cover of Beneath the Mask
Omg more Persona songs from 8 bit big band??? Christmas came early!!!!
Fr
The Jill Scott love is appreciated! This is masterful.
What a stunning arrangement! Completely shifts the vibe from moody and mellow to something confident and bold. Aisha's gorgeous vocals are icing on the cake!
Wow she’s incredible! It just kept getting better and better.
Worth the wait! Ms. Aisha Jackson's vocals, that STELLAR guitar solo, and a noticeable upgrade in pixel art animation quality. This will be a favorite of mine for a long time to come, well done all!
This is one of, if not my most favorite video game song of all time. This cover is so beautifully crafted it stills gives me goosebumps when I listen to it. This has even helped me so much during school, I couldn’t have a study session without this cover making an appearance, thank you so much for this cover, it rocks!!! :]
Amazing work overvall with this. Composition is great, the flow and tone of the original is kept while possessing a uniqueness with all of your additions/changes, and the pixel art as well as the camera work is also just fantastic! In regards to the sprite work, not only is that very well done, but it also doesn't spoil anything thankfully (at least nothing more than the first hour or so will tell you) which as someone playing through this game for the first time right now, is very nice to see and greatly appreciated! Definitely adding this to the playlist and recommending this to the other Persona fans I know.
... well, that was certainly the glitziest flashy moment of melancholic introspection.
Aisha's voice is so clear, perfect for the song!!
Easily my favorite performance since Snake Eater. Stunning top to bottom.
I don't see NEARLY enough people talking about that wicked guitar starting at 2:36 though 👀
This made me shed a tear 🥲 absolutely amazing cover and a gorgeous singing voice
Shape-shifting this tune to big band perfection! Every little detail so beautifully crafted 💖
これは屋根裏に住みたくなる音楽ですね。素晴らしい。
Love the Jill Scott reference playing all through that!!! Gave it that extra oomph!!
Baby, this is a VIBE!!! Keep up the amazing work, y’all! 🔥🔥🔥
Inject this directly into my veins... I've been listening to the audio only version on loop since it dropped, but the video is fantastic!
The pixel animations are a whole other show (the artist is fantastic), amazing rendition, the singer rocked the roof off! Kudos to the entire ensemble for the perfect way to make a respectable and tasteful cover of a loved tune for P5 players. ~Leblanc feels~
This is hands-down the best cover of Beneath the Mask I've ever heard. This is amazing!
aisha's voice is unreal!! such a fantastic arrangement of this piece.
THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS
Holy moly.... this cover version is just perfect for bars and exotic restaurants
One of my favorite songs from my favorite game covered by one of my favorite groups? Say less, I’m there *yesterday*
This was beyond fantastic! I can’t find the words to show how grateful I am to you all for this
It's funny, I just started playing Peraona 5 Royal, so this fits perfectly!!! Beautiful job as always everyone! Maybe you'll win another Grammy for this one :3
This is incredibly well made, I love it!
listening to this for the first time was truly an amazing experience omg....
I got to see this live in Boston last week, it was so incredible! Hope to see you again around here soon. Congrats on album 4!
The vocals were absolutely MASTERFUL
I love this so so much 🎶💕
Ahhh this is so awesome! And I love the pixel animations to go with it too!! You guys are the best!
OMG, the voice of this black woman... Its absolutely amazing! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thanks for your great job, beautiful, soft and precision voice
This is by far one of the best covers I've heard so far!!! Keep up the amazing work!
She would kill any song from the whole Persona catalogue.
How the F#% did that. Its amazing!!! I never imagine you can improve that much that score.
Let's take, a long walk, around the park, after dark!!!!
I'm actually crying, the puck? This was INCREDIBLY beautiful
I liked this like a month ago but just came back to say y'all KILLED IT!!!
Geeze, y'all absolutely GRAND SLAM'd this cover! Absolutely love it!
That voice is GODLIKE
Maybe, but shes in the wrong room singing the wrong song.
@@wireycoyote3544
Jealousy makes you look weak
Big Band would be a remarkable choice of soundtrack for the next Persona Game. Orchestration goes surprisingly hard with Persona. Fantastic job!
Ohhh this is so beautiful and her voice carries such smoothness. ✨ Good memories of rainy days in Tokyo ❤️
This is insane from start to finish. Great job, guys!
Holy Mother of God! This girl knows how to sing.
I’m crying,
It’s so beautiful
I appreciate the controlled rendition instead of trying to kill every note. Especially at the end.
This is brilliant. Vocal, arrangement, solo😱😱mindblowing 👌
Might be the best thing I’ve heard all year. That was simple amazing on all fronts.
A very refreshing take on a song I usually find to be overhyped. The singer at the Boston show absolutely killed it on both the P5 tracks.
She was so amazing!! Do you happen to remember her name?
@@Weeesnaw I was trying to figure that out so I could mention her by name haha... I have an audio recording of the last 3 songs including Last Surprise, but when the conductor shouts her out after the song you can't hear the name over all the cheering 😭
That would be such a fun band to be a part of. Love the horn section
Y'all really ate that down. WOW!
This was honestly super amazing and i just love the pixel animations.
You guys just greet us excellence each time ! I can’t tell how much I love your band !
I've never played a personna 5 game in my life....BUT BABY!!!!!!
I'm obsessed with this arrangement AND THE SINGING!!!!!!!
This one bout to be on repeat for the rest of the day !!!!😂😊
This is absolutely my favourite song from Persona 5, so happy to see your own twist on it, loved it!
Everything about this is just perfect. I will be binging every video.
You guys always knock it out of the park, I swear. Aisha is an angel, what a performance!!!
HOLY MOLY THATS FUCKING AMAZING
There's a part where the bassists hits this little riff that I only associate with the D'Angelo song Brown Sugar and it just makes me happy.
Where have you been?
Been searching all along
Came facing twilight on and on
Without a clue, without a sign
Without grasping at the real question to be asked
Where have I been?
I'm a shape-shifter at Poe's masquerade
Hiding both face and mind
All free for you to draw
I'm a shape-shifter, what else should I be?
Please don't take off my mask
Revealing dark
Moments of calm
Nothing left to be found
A mirror right in front of me
That's where I find
An empty glass
Reflecting the sad truth
It's telling words not to be told
I need the mask
I'm a shape-shifter at Poe's masquerade
Hiding both face and mind, all free for you to draw
I'm a shape-shifter chained down to my core
Please don't take off my mask, my place to hide
I can't tell you
How to see me
Just a cage of bones
There's nothing inside
Will it unleash me?
Burning down the walls
Is there a way for me to break?
I'm a shape-shifter at Poe's masquerade
Hiding both face and mind, all free for you to draw
I'm a shape-shifter, have no face to show
Please don't take off my mask, my disguise
This is an amazing cover. Aisha is an amazing vocalist!!!
Wow! This was absolutely amazing!!! I love how cute the lil pixels of p5 are
Jill Scott and Erykah Badu nods in an arrangement of Beneath the Mask? Never crossed my mind, but I'm thrilled that I now know it exists!
her voice tho. my heart...
That solo was absolutely nutty
Aisha and everyone killed it
This song taught me what an eargasm is
One of my Favorite recent Persona songs to date( I actually fall asleep to the rainy version a lot lol.) Was smiling the whole time during this version. Thanks, everyone involved.
So many of the commenters have also said this, but Aisha sing Whims of Fate (the theme to Sae Niijima's Casino dungeon), Last Surprise, and Wake Up Get Up Get Out There! We would love to see these songs get the big band treatment.
Also, including that bit of Jill Scott was a really nice bonus.
I personally like how chill and downtempo the original version of Beneath The Mask is, but this works very nicely too.
Well done everyone, and thanks for sharing this with us! Persona 5 is my comfort franchise because it has all the things I like, and also helped me get over the trauma of losing a loved one to the prison system (the Interrogation Room really got me good).
the animation is awesome😮
すごい…本家よりも好きかも…❤アニメのルパン三世のed感があります。とても素敵なアレンジ💓
After performing for years in different bands not many songs give me goosebumps anymore… 🤩 amazing performance 🖤 it’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance to listen to music this good
This is seriously what would happen if Persona 5 got a Remaster in 15 years or so. This is just so good. The arrangement is fire.
I'm so upset that I've not heard about this vocalist before. What incredible skill 😢
Amazing cover! Never really get tired of persona 5 ost, hope you guys can do more of it!
