John King, the mind behind and the vocalist of Hello Lovers, will rub you the right or wrong way but either way, he will rub you. That is, he will make an impression. Fans of distinct voices like Joanna Newsom or Anthony and The Johnsons, you understand. Personally, I do often tire of tired vocals that we hear everyday in everyday songs; King’s voice stands out. And either you love or hate it. As a vocalist myself, I have mad respect.
The man’s dynamics are astounding, the quality extremely unusual, and the format unconventional. John composes the music himself. He sings over a real piano, a viola, and a cello. And they just added Angel on the sea harp! Hello Lovers creates a beautiful classical foundation where King uses every part of his throat and mouth to sing atop.
