Allen Stone - Give You Blue (Live Performance) | Vevo

Allen Stone - Give You Blue (Studio Performance)
A soulful tenor that effortlessly glides into falsetto and romantic lyricism powerful enough to melt the coldest heart - that’s the Allen Stone recipe. But it wasn’t always guaranteed. Stone, now in his early thirties, spent the last decade figuring out how to square a music career with fulfilling romantic and family relationships. All those priorities are important; And the title of the Pacific Northwesterner’s most recent full-length, “Building Balance,'' indicates that he’s come close to cracking the code. Don’t let the chic lumberjack aesthetic fool: You’ll hear some Stevie Wonder in his voice, a dash of early 70s Motown warmth in the record’s production. Armed with only an acoustic guitar and two fantastic background vocalists, Stone glided through twinkling renditions of “Brown Eyed Lover” and “Give You Blue.”

Just a FYI - the backup singers are a couple that were picked out by Allen after they sang with him on stage at one of his Karaoke Extravaganza shows. He embedded his fans into this beautiful version. And now I'm crying.. thanks guys!

[@shakespearecat1]

Talent off the chart but this world is too interested in mediocrity and bullshit pop music by the likes of Taylour Swift Selena Gomez and Justin Beiber or the noxious, degrading music of JayZ & Beyoncé. True talent and God-given gifts like this artist are overlooked and ignored by the music industry. Jarle Bernhoft is the same boat as Allen Stone. Saw them in concert together - AMAZING! Put these guys on a Grammy stage so they can show the posers what art truly is!

[@JorgeIMunozMusic]

Who's the female singer?

[@sarahannnime4844]

I don’t comprehend how this dude literally sounds 10x better live than his studio recordings. Damn.

[@noelgallard1128]

modern engineers don't know how to record actual talent.

[@austinhunter6554]

I feel you on that. I agree whole heartedly.

[@jadesireemusic]

Agreed. I need a whole live album

[@jessicavanarsdale8166]

Preach

[@jas_bataille]

So you people believe that this was recorded by who, someone who came back from the 60’s? Like there is an engineer. It’s called a live session engineer. That’s the position. Or live mixing engineer (separate from the sound engineer in a concert). Besides, you guys confuse recording and production, the later being (in the mainstream industry) a process which destroys the music’s soul. But to say that there are no engineers capable of recording modern talents is just as foolish as to say there are no modern talent. This wasn’t recorded by magic Sherlock.

You've changed my perception of life and love, through your music. Listening to you for so many years, you've struck so many chords in my heart.

I heard him for the first time, tonight . He was singing this song on NPR. I had to pull over .. turn up the sound. His voice is breath taking. I found him on utube and have been listening to each version. Tender, heartfelt, bluesie, I could hear him hit every note , and created a twisting, winding road , right up to the exact note... with inflection and a soulfulness. Its been a long 4 miserable years... and his voice started the beginning of the sun coming out to shine.. lovely. Thank you
