[@spoilyagirl2]

Noooo 😂😂😂

[@tamilynroberson6464]

Say it

[@QueenDelmarva]

.....brought Masego to a concert hall....Of COURSE he's playing his sax! 🎷🎷🥰🥰😎😎

[@JohnDeDominicano]

Oh no y'all didn't. Y'all needed to give me a warning before y'all did this on this Thanksgiving day. Them candied yams sound delicious plus them orchestra members are smiling getting their grove on 😂😂😂😂 Today's mainstream music is lacking orchestration it made music sound magical and adventurous when it was present in a lot of mainstream songs of the past.

[@renemarais8887]

Brooo❤, I was never ready💃🏽

[@cjaka33]

You said it!!! Orchestration = Magical ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@annetteleysath7808]

FACTS!! I wish they did a damn concert!! The Band, the Brothas, that SAX, Pure Fiyah🔥

[@globalsmileangelia]

You should listen to AJR, they use orchestras and it's gorgeous

[@user-db2dp4fr9n]

Music. Harmony. Lyrics. Genius. The old school sound makes it the perfect holiday song to go with dinner in the background! This is baaaaad! I love it.

[@patrickluk7699]

Violins killed it at the end dam goosebumps sick performance from everyone!

[@kingfisher7216]

This rendition literally brought 🥹tears to my eyes! To hear real instruments, real musicians, real voices put together so perfectly! Totally brings this to LIFE! (In addition to the life it had initially ofcourse😇) Thank you for sharing this with the world 🇬🇧✨ God bless you all...🙏🏾❤️✨

[@SonyaFreeman-uz3px]

Me too!😭

[@AnaM.F]

Oh yaaaa! Perfect! Made in Heaven! Awesome work!

[@Badman3833]

Agreed

[@teflmadeez2021]

I didn't read the title and then as soon as it starts playing I was jamming, soon after I was crying and screaming!!!

[@RDotDizzle11]

Talk about IT!

[@cclong6865]

As a violinist and violaist my goodness c'mon on strings!!!!! You two are a treasure and you have to forever perform this piece with this ORCHESTRA!!!!! You on the sax, Devin's falsetto and modulation, the keyboard, the drummer in the pocket this is onnnnnn repeat!!!!!!

[@phamphiletsoalo6101]

Like a kid in a candy store, you don't know which one to pick😂😂

[@gabrielleharris1759]

I flew from NC to Miami just to see this show and paid to see the livestream 2 months later. Best show ever and I try to catch Masego anytime he gets close. Everything about this performance was spectacular. But what I really noticed was how the orchestra smiled throughout the entire show. Please post the entire concert. 🙏🏾 Thanks.

[@ninthusiva7546]

When you have too much money laying around

[@Zetababyful]

I will definitely try to check them out!! 😁

[@kenfcarzn]

This was amazingly arranged and executed! Drummers please pay attention to how this dude laid the groove! Not playing hard, and playing a bunch of fills and chops! Just straight tasteful music. Everybody in their own lane, no one stepping on the next man. Superb!!!

[@malcolmlarri9073]

Drummer KILLED it ! 🔥🔥🔥 who is he / she ?

[@MayoLord1017]

The Drummer Understood His Job Was To Keep This Groove Grooving And Not Interrupt The Vibes....Perfect Job ...

[@nicolejames6796]

If this is where Smooth Jazz is going , I am so here for this ride, This is beyond beautiful and just makes my spirit sweeter!!

[@loria.andrews3305]

I am of the 65 and older crowd. I heard the original recorded version and loved it. I called my daughter and she knew about it. I went on KZbin and found this live performance and was completely blown away and sent it to everyone I knew to share for the holidays! Love, love, love the collaboration of jazz, hip hop, R&B and classical. Don’t get no better than this. More musical soul food please!

[@gregmuscovalley3791]

I'm 68 and love music, jazz, soul funk, r&b,gospel. I heard this today and I thought Charlie Wilson would sound good on this and kept scrolling and there he was singing it. My ear must be pretty good. This performance is so good. Thank you

[@AcousticBruce]

I love when music just stops you right in your tracks so you can give it your full attention. This was fresh!

[@relaxingsounds5469]

I used to live with Devin in a share house in Tokyo for a few months. Such good memories and am so proud of him!

[@FibaFanatic]

Damn, just realised who Devin is. Used to follow his YT channel many years ago. When did this dude take singing lessons?

[@srussell1949]

My grandchildren (9, 10, 11, 11) play piano, harp, sax, flute and drums. My son (Dad of 9, 11) plays trumpet. My daughter (Mom of 9,10) plays clarinet. We need that sheet music so they can work this up to give ME a concert when I visit them this summer. Deets, please. Thank you.

[@slc2553]

Seeing the musicians smiling during this was so cute! They all look like they’re having a blast 😊

[@Sunlove_honeybee]

GOOSEBUMPS WHAT IS THIS?????????????????????

[@1ati5ha]

Not the orchestra! Let’s gooooo!!! 😮‍💨😍 Perfection!

[@ciesuite]

Absolutely insane. From the strings, to Devin’s vocals, to Masego’s solo. Mind blowing 🔥🤯

[@TRobert97]

4 minutes and 51 seconds of absolute sonic euphoria!

[@KCLARK98]

There was no need for the violins to go off like that🔥

[@andrewwatson6848]

Lol!! They took it home!

[@phenomenonnarutokun]

The sax solo followed by the string section is eargasm

[@sweetkeekee]

Omg🔥🔥🔥🔥 I’ve been dancing outside for 30min to this on repeat and I keep hearing different music nuances….sheesh!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Mirarashi]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💕💕💕

[@portiajones2893]

This is my 15th repeat. Hear nah I am obsessed

[@bennuflight]

And THIS is what compelled the poet to write that “Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme form, inevitably incites the sensitive soul to tear” 😢🔥❤️

[@attheAlchemist]

Devin Morrison is Natural with the Vocals 🔥🔥🔥

[@BVisionaryProjects]

This was so dope... the evolution of this song is simply amazing... I'm sure Masego wasn't expecting this but this guy is MAJOR talented and deserves this plateform... WOW...

[@memorielanevevo8471]

I literally listen to this version of the song at least 4 times a day singing my heart out 😂

[@montiaqueatia]

The orchestra took the song home. I love music and listen to every instrument and it was AWESOME I loved everything about this song thanks for sharing it with the world can't stop listening to it ❤❤❤❤

[@mariannearrington2615]

This is HOT!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The vocals are amazing, and the intricate melodies from the orchestra makes the song pleasing to the ear. That is what is missing in today's music. People play three or 4 notes or the same 2 chords repeatedly, and they think they have a great song. It bores the crap out of me. But this song here?!! THIS IS MUSIC!!!! It has the flavor of the 70's groups and singers like Earth, Wind & Fire; Average White Band; Barry White; Chic; etc. I LOVE it!!! Keep it up, Nu Deco!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@cyndymorrospm1850]

Wow you’re speaking the truth. These two chords songs are so dissappointing. Why are they “dumbing” down music so to speak. I believe because majority of them are NOT musicians.

[@hughjensen3569]

I'm 69 years old and I shared this to everyone I know. I listen to it over and over...love this vocals and instrumentals 👏🏿👏🏿 continue success 🙌🏿 🤲🏿

[@pologenius21]

I call this the Black Orchestra. And it's undisputed!🤤

[@yungnatediggity]

PLEEEEAAASE release this version!!!!!

[@uwuangel1998]

Gosh the vocals are so smooth with the brass and synthesiser that's so gorgeous, bless this video aaaaahhhhhh

[@mylesandrews2019]

BROOOO, THEM STRINGS WENNNNTTT DUMMBBYYYYY😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bre6382]

A MASTERPIECE!!! ❤ This song can NEVER get old they put they foot in this song!

[@mattp2real]

2:03 Bruh’s vocal run with the bass was too smooth 🤌🏽🔥

[@Lonelyeco]

This is what I call harmony in music. There was so much love here.

[@sumayzebecreating]

I'm obsessed with this version now! I've listened to this at least 20 times in a row. Thank you for blessing us 🙏🏾 ❤

[@decarvalhoguilherme]

As if the orchestra and Morrison's presence weren't enough, Masego also plays the saxophone. One of the most beautiful things I saw this year. Thank you.

[@chi.vision]

[@MoniqueSoChix]

Favorite version it’s the orchestra for me and the production 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@katerina0758]

I thought I loved this song when I heard the original version… but this version live with the orchestra hits different. I’m trying to move past it… but it’s currently on replay & replay & replay😂😂😂 I can’t get enough😅 LOVE IT❤❤❤

[@Kof24]

The orchestra enjoyed playing this

[@DANIELHABIF]

[@MB-wr4tz]
