Right...LOL!

[@supposedly1-2]

@@Cam4Jess lol i laughed because he was the second reactor i've seen do that exact same thing stop the song say no no no and then restart it.

Avi can also harmonize with himself. He is one of the rare people who can sing a drone note and a main pitch at the same time, it's nuts.

Haha i think about what that what that would sound like in bed. Lol

[@larrywt656]

Avi's solo stuff is nothing short of magnificent!! All three of his solo albums are mini-masterpieces!

I refer to this song as Avi's battlecry. It's soul-stirring, from beginning to end. He did a fanTASTIC job!

[@karmakkaze]

First, I love Pentatonix. But this? Avi was hiding THIS??? Dude! Blown away!

[@tanyanguyen3704]

Lol at the “no no no, you can’t just come in like that”. That’s avi.

[@johnnaliggett3625]

That was great

[@michelegillespie1971]

That's Avi, nuff said.

[@kathyf.2002]

I love hearing him sing again. I think he is finally happy creating music he loves. He is classically trained and is an amazing vocalist. He has a KZbin channel you need to check out.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Avi is phenomenal, crazy talent.

[@kathyastrom1315]

One bit of Avi trivia-if you are watching the newest Blade Runner film and hear some rumbly basso-profundo notes on the soundtrack, that’s Avi!

[@gracewilliams14]

Oh shit! The dudes doing well for himself :)

[@amiemariecreative163]

🤣🤣 knew that would be your reaction!! I love Avi's music sooo much. 😍 It hits me right at the soul level. I've been binge watching your reactions last couple days and specifically searched for your reaction to this song. So glad you did it 😁

[@PatrolNation]

Thanks for taking the time to watch.

[@terib470]

Now that you have found Avi Kaplan and Tim Foust you'll have to react to Peter Hollens channel, with Avi doing Black is the Color of My True Loves Hair and with Tim Foust doing Misty Mountains. Peter Hollens does a cappella also and has done several things with Home Free. Avi has his own EP call Avriel & The Sequoia's you'll find on his channel. Hey Ya and Fields & Pier are my favorites.

[@daemonember]

You forgot Voiceplay they are another aca group. Their Bass Geoff is normally in vs videos of basses. Tim and Avi are the other two.

[@mariotorres8344]

Peter Hollens, I honestly think he´s overrated, I mean, he´s good at singing, but he doesn´t have a wow voice, or anything that could make him stick out of all the good singers

[@shayedwards3744]

He'e got soul. Deep, melancholic soul.

[@veronicasargent1376]

So glad you like this. we were sad to see him leave the group, but LOVE what he's doing Solo

[@kikimo57]

Pentaholics haven't forgotten Avi and still love him very much. Much respect for all these talented people who have chosen to sacrifice part of their lives to make ours more enjoyable.

[@greekpeach69]

PG, I understand that Avi sings all the parts in this one...including the background harmonies. Pretty cool, huh?

[@lindabergstrom6650]

Excellent reaction! This is the first song he’s released from what I suspect is going to be a new EP or, hopefully, album. His fan base knows he’s got skills, but THIS! THIS BLEW US ALL AWAY! He is on another level.

Viking vibes. Exactly what I said. I could picture this as a battle song in the background of a show like game of thrones.

[@shatteredabby964]

"I'm assuming he sings as well..." I heard that and got even more excited to see your reaction to his voice. I love this song. I also love your reactions. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@gregsteele806]

This song really needs to be in some epic western, or maybe Walking Dead or something. Such a great mood piece.

[@barryshelton3189]

Hell on wheels

[@nmv-9526]

Hi, recently (April 5th) Avi did a livestream to collect money for a camp for kids. He sang like 5 or 6 songs. Very entertaining. I love to see Avi sing. This livestream is really a 'must see' for Avi-fans. He is such a sweet human being!

[@katyb9532]

This guy gives me goosebumps every time he sings. What a voice! I LOVE this guy!

[@darlenenickerson1713]

It's such a powerful song! Avi is a classically trained opera singer! He can do it all! I've seen this video over 50 times so far!✌❤

[@kattrina42]

Poor guy. You are going to be very busy. You peeked into Pandoras box with Home Free, but now you have thrown off the lid. We Home Fries and Pentaholics love our favorites. And we love the multitudes of other musicians who cross over or preform with these groups. If you work 24/7 watching videos, you will still NEVER get to ALL our requests. Some reactors have a system where the most liked gets done, or a lottery system. Just a suggestion. But don't worry, most of us are just really pasionate and excited by new, good, reactors.

[@Bonofox1]

💥This song is SO POWERFUL!!... Avi tweeted that it about getting out of darkness and finding the light!!.. I LOVE Avi and I love that he still communicates his LOVE for PENTATONIX!!👏😍👋😍

[@johnnaliggett3625]

Absolutely loved your reaction Thank You for doing this...its amazing..all the vocals in song is Avi..his music always speaks to you. He puts so much emotion into his music you feel it too. We all have been waiting for a year since His last EP ..so worth the wait.. His voice seems to change with what emotion he singing about, but always so smooth, rich and powerful no matter the octave even super low. Since you like Home Free as well they did Ring of Fire featuring Avi...two amazing Basses in one song!! Also PTX won the Sing off the season before Home Free. They met in person one day before the audition you can watch them come into their sound on the show.. You get to see them become a family.(Kevin and him were roommates for years and Kevin plays cello on his first EP)...which they still are just added Matt

[@allybandy3047]

Avi left PTX because the touring kept him away from his family too much. It was sad, but understandable and without ill feelings. Avi is great in his own right. Kevin the beatboxer also has some amazing solo work. Try KOver Sign of the Times.

[@cassie8906]

Waking up to all these reactions have made my Monday morning. This has been on repeat all weekend for me. His aesthetic is more folk. He has an EP from 2017 & a great folk cover of OutKast “Hey Ya”. I recommend “Quarter Past Four” from his EP (but they are all good). No bad blood w/ PTX. Not a reaction request (but won’t be mad if you do😊) there is a video called “Message from Avi” where he announced why he was leaving. It was heartbreaking but if you watch it, you’ll understand why & respect the decision. They support each other and while not the same, PTX with Matt Salle as the Bass is GREAT as well! I suggest your first reaction to PTX with Matt be “Sound of Silence”. It came out just last month.

[@ronparsley3112]

One thing that wad not widely known was that his mother was going through her second bout of cancer. The first was when he was a child and Avi cared for her. He was nominated for an award and won. His mom said he and his sister, tour manager, would fly in just to see her for a few hours. One of the trips was from their Japan tour. It hit him hard.

[@rondileem3111]

The great thing about Avi and PTX and Home Free is they are such amazing musicians they can do all sorts of types of music which is part of their universal appeal. Avis bass singing is amazing, but I especially love any PTX song that features Avi singing the lead. A couple of good ones are The First Noel and their live concert original Light in the Hallway Nagoya. We love and support Avi, His is a one of a kind voice for the ages.

[@karend1577]

I was pleasantly surprised to see you reacting on this. You found him! I quickly tapped your video to watch it. Excellent reaction. I also thought and still do - that it's so tribal sounding. It reminded me of my heritage, my ancient ancestors. I immediately went and bought his digital music.

[@gdjaxman]

Speaking of side projects also check out Superfruit which is Mitch and Scott singing together and Scott has also sung with a couple of other artists. Kevin also has videos out as does Kirstie. She actually has an album out. Their fans - Pentaholics- are an eager bunch and love to see people having their first Pentatonix experiences. oh, I'd recommend Radioactive -a project they did with Lindsay Stirling and Daft Punk Medley that won them their first grammy. Enjoy the music!

[@rayraudebaugh5395]

Yep. Mind mindbogglingly good Avi. We Pentaholics were devastated when he left but this is making up for it. Actually you did hear him sing before but you probably didn't realize it. It was "Hallelujah" and he was the guy in the stocking cap who sang in a higher register, not bass and you didn't pick up on it because Scott, the blond guy, was carrying the bass line which he does any time the bass is singing lead. And everybody in Pentatonix can sing and sing very well. The beat boxer, Kevin has a great voice and is also a classically trained cellist and works that in occasionally. He invented cello-boxing and is almost certainly the only one in the world that does it so check him out some day too. The cover of Sam Smith's "Stay With Me" is a great place to start.

[@CrimFerret]

If part of the reason he left Pentatonix is because he wanted to write and perform music like this then I'm not sorry he left. I can't wait to see future work of his.

[@joeuluivuda9910]

The way you reacted was me the whole time. Got this song on replay! Thanks for the reaction man!

[@kmwwrench]

Yeah. My reaction when I first heard this was "What the hell just happened?" That drum heartbeat underlying the vocals speaks to my percussion-obsessed brain. And "We're singin' all day and you can't tame it" has to be one of the best lyrics ever. And, of course, that voice. Yum.

[@pamelascott5702]

I absolutely LOVED it!!!! And it does sound kinda tribal. I was doing a dance around while dusting in my room listening to this reaction. When I heard u said it sounds kinda tribal, lol, I thought, “Girl, u better hope you ain’t called up a HUGE rain with that dance!!!!!” I am mostly Native American & I have had a few lessons in Native dance. So much fun.

[@terrichristenson432]

Yes is was fantastic !!! Love your reaction to Avi and my fav Home Free !!!

[@MSKPELLEGRINO]

He was taken with an old song called "wayfaring stranger". He did a couple of live versions of that. If you want to experience a very strong male folk song from another part of the world, try Heaven by Tengri, The Singer 2018. Its in Mongolian, I think, but you dont need to understand a word to appreciate how amazing it is.

[@singerforever223]

All of Avi’s other projects are inCREDIBLE!!! I highly recommend the “hey ya” cover! It’s so soothing and amazing. His voice is like liquid gold

[@vickimoran1349]

Thanks for doing this one! I hadn't heard anything by Avi solo! He is amazing!!! Love it!!

[@lesaahrenstein6360]

I not only liked it but I loved it and have taken the words to Heart. The song is about his struggle back from depression, change on the rise getting his passion back having your fire lit. As someone who has bipolar depression I can completely relate to this. He left Pentatonix on very friendly basis because their train schedule was too hectic for him his mother was also sick and he wanted to spend more time with his family in general. T worth lyrics the music says all the same plays all the instruments says all the background harmonies everything

[@ohifonlyx33]

Avi has this amazing deep soulful, velvety tone that can rattle your soul, but he can also sing in a silky smooth, buttery higher range that can make you float on air. And he can switch between the two almost instantly. His voice is just gorgeous and versatile. Oh, plus, he can do OVERTONE SINGING where he basically sings one note while humming another which is really FREAKING COOL (he did it in a few songs on The Sing Off and a few other times, but it's not often). His cover of Wayfaring Stranger is excellent but also his song Quarter Past Four is really good if you like folksy stuff. You gotta check out the Evolution of Music though and Say Something....

[@terrichristenson432]

Love Avi Kaplan, amazing voice !!! Never was a great fan of Pentatonix for some unknown reason, too slick, I dont know. But I Love Avi and am so glad he is on how own now !!! I knew I would love your reaction to this video and was not disappointed. I would love to request anything by Home Free, can never get enough of Home Frees music !!!

[@tanyanguyen3704]

By the way, as others have probably said, Avi’s stuff is very different, one song to another. He’s very, nature-spiritual and does sorta a folk like sound, so very different from this power. But gorgeous. Hope you enjoy him. Glad you are doing reactions, I’m loving them.

[@leob3447]

Yeah, this is a GREAT motivational song (working out, sports, getting psyched up for just about anything)! Avi is awesome, what a voice.

[@nycboi1392]

Its not a darker side this is his praise song it's his light, like fire

[@UserHorologium]

You've heard Avi in Hallelujah, and you'll hear him again in Imagine (he sings the first segment). For more Avi, check out his channel for other solo project videos. He has an EP and several one-off videos; my favorite is "Fields and Pier", but you might like his more folky/country songs, like "Sweet Adeline". Definitely check out "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair" with Peter Hollens. (Peter was on the Sing-Off during the second season, the year before Pentatonix. His group did not win, though.) The a cappella rabbit hole you've fallen into is something from which you won't want to escape. This song was quite unlike any of Avi's previous work. It sounds like it could be used in a cinematic drama about a viking raid or the vandals sacking Roman towns. Most of his stuff is either quiet and contemplative, or cheery and a little more boisterous.

[@bridgetteparsons1984]

I was thinking they should use it in Game of Thrones, since he's a fan of the show.

[@LolaMGames]

Aside from the new bass Matt, they all have their own separate projects and songs. Avi has this song and other folk themed ones to react to, Kevin has some great beatboxing, cello and singing songs, Kirstin has her own pop album with music videos and Mitch and Scott have their album together called Future Friends with music videos too. The name of their channel and the pair together is Superfruit.

[@holydado]

Lola McCready Not sure If you’re aware, but Kevin also did songs with a side group call Triptyq. The group consists of 3 members and Kevin is one of them, it’s definitely a different sound. I’m not sure if many people know that Kevin did a few songs with another group during his time in Pentatonix, I say that because almost no one mentions those songs

[@holydado]

Lola McCready if you haven’t seen that other group here’s 1 song, Kevin does a short rap kzbin.info/www/bejne/boSqfqKpbsSBr8U Oh and if you search for Scott on iTunes they have solo albums he put out years ago, he must of been in high school.

[@LolaMGames]

@@holydado thanks for the recommendations, I know about both of those and have seen what you said however. It's a shame not many have seen some of Kevin's work, we should definitely request more people to watch it.

He did some solo work with a group and dropped an EP before he left PTX. Its good but this new work hes doing just blows that out of the water. I think hes finally had time to work on his own and really find his voice. always knew he was amazing, he just needed time to work it out.

[@rlhcat7662]

Great reaction! Avi is amazing. A little history - Scott, Mitch & Kirstie met as kids doing musical theater in Arlington, TX. They went to the same high school and sang there as a trio. In 2011, they wanted to go on a TV competition show for a capella groups called The Sing-Off, but realized they needed more voices. They found a video of Kevin "cello-boxing" (Kevin is an amazing cellist). A friend told Scott about Avi. The 5 of them met just 2 days before the audition for the show, and they ended up winning the whole thing! After 6 years, Avi decided that he couldn't keep up the touring pace and left the group. There is a video they all made where he talks about the break - link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHTTmJJ9gpuSopI Avi formed a group called The Sequoias, and they have some really good videos out there. My all time favorite Avi video is a duet he did with Peter Hollens Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair. It really shows his range, and the smooth tone of his voice.

[@FragaGurl10]

[@annieb.869]

I don't like it, I LOVE IT TO MADNESS! I've been a fan of him since the beginning of Pentatonix and he has morphed into such a unique artist and I'd gladly be part of his cult. I find his music speaks to our root chakra and it makes us feel grounded. If you had ovaries, they would be shattered by now. Mine are. And I'm a grown woman in my 40's. My 14 year old daughter is also captivated by this. I think that if he had bad intentions(which he doesn't) he could seriously hypnotize us to our death.

[@elenahume8295]

[@seancurrell6012]

i loved it. Avi has just over 3 octave range... and one of the smoothest basses ive heard. Hey Ya! by avriel & the sequioas (avi kaplans new group i think) is pretty awesome too. wait till you see him and Tim Foust in the version of ring of fire that Avi does with home free.
