I have never seen him so happy to sing with someone. You can tell he admires her so much. He usually doesn't look at anyone when he sings, and looks quite serious, here he really looked at her with so much admiration and respect and joy

Her is also a piano player and drummer plus she says she’s played a little sax, violin and is learning the upright bass. As a hip hop head I always thought Stapleton was a once in a generation voice. Tennessee Whiskey spanned all genres these 2 are the best representation of talent out here

But H.E.R is a goddess, her voice is gorgeous and her guitar skills are amazing. This is EXACTLY how an amazing collaboration is supposed to sound.

[@ET-df2xz]

When you have an artist with Chris' longstanding acclaim (way before his breakout) in the country music world seeking out H.E.R. because he knows her greatness it tells you all you need to know. Great artists (regardless of Genre) seek out other great artists. This is a classic case of two great ones collaborating and making some magical for us to enjoy for years to come.

Well imaginary hypothetical person, I'm so glad you ask . . . . as music is 'THE PANACEA FOR THE HUMAN CONDITION,' it's priceless. It's the 'ELIXIR FOR THE SOUL,' if you will (or even if you won't 😉). This kicked me right square in the feels! Love it! That's quite enough out of me . . . . be safe everyone!!
