Much like other R&B and soul artists before him ( Ike & Tina Turner's "Proud Mary," Donny Hathaway's "A Song For You," Maxwell's "This Woman's Work," several tracks from Luther Vandross' catalog), Joe Thomas has taken a pop song and covered it in a warm coat of soul and, dare we say, made it his own. The veteran performer flexes his tenor all over "Hello" and infuses it with a soul and energy that brings Adele and Greg Kurstin's lyrics to life in a way that she didn't.
The visual treatment is a lovely bonus, however the main attraction here is Joe's vocal performance. New York City's skyline as seen from a car crossing a bridge is also featured throughout, but the focus is primarily on Joe who emotes as he belts out the power ballad. We see Joe seated at a white grand piano tickling the ivories while the camera pans around the room to show his numerous gold and platinum plaques that adorn his walls. He kicked his version of "Hello" up several notches with a visual accompaniment in the form of a slick black-and-white clip.
Simply posting an MP3 up on SoundCloud of his remake wasn't enough for Joe.
