Persona 5 - "Blooming Villain" Guitar Cover | FamilyJules

I preferred Kamoshida before he was bloomed tbh.
Get this cover!

Google Play: bit.ly/Blooming...
This was originally gonna be the first cover I did from Persona 5 since the chorus lead is probably one of my favorite melodies from the entire game. I felt that however the build up took too long to get there. For this cover I really tried to spice up the build to the choruses a bit more to the point of just like slamming my guitar a bunch. Also a few months back I watched a bunch of vids by one of my favorite electronic acts, Infected Mushroom, and they were going on and on about this vocal processor called Manipulator. I couldn't help but be curious to see what it could sound like on guitar and I think it made for a really cool effect on a lot of the leads in this. Believe it or not there are NO synthesizers in this cover! It's all effected guitar!
Hope you're digging all the Persona 5! Lemmie know which track you wanna hear next!

Sometimes, I think this song represents the Phantom Thieves instead of the palace rulers since it sounds triumphant at points and the people they're fighting aren't really blooming since they have already done bad things, but the the Phantom Thieves are the ones that are blooming because they are stealing treasure and gaining notoriety.

[@CelestialSodapop]

the villain part fits too, because public opinion of them is generally that they're bad, even if they're doing good things.

Damn! I was just driving home from work, rockin my P5 playlist. Blooming Villain came on, and I couldn't help but think of how sick a FamilyJules cover would be. Sure enough, I didn't have to wait long to find out how sick a FamilyJules cover would be. And this was a great cover, Jules! You always give any song the right amount of variation in sound and/or melody to surprise me. I'm glad to say that's what keeps me listening to your work!

[@phoggypsych]

I hope that when you're done with these Persona covers, we can buy a compilation of them in one album. They literally rock!

[@Heimdall409]

This was an absolute blast. I love everything about it, but especially the drums that are giving this track ane evn more insane feeling. You really outdid yourself on this one! And big up to all Infected Mushroom fans out there!

[@rustys0rcerer702]

Without a doubt my favourite cover of this track. It just feels so intense and has a lot of “oomph” to it. Most other covers I find lack that bit of background strength that makes the track feel-able along with being a good track to listen to. This cover succeeds in that excellently though. Keep up the good work, and here’s to hearing more great Persona tracks covered by you!

[@anonymousanonymous-iy6mj]

Richaad and Jules really are doing a Persona cover contest.

[@ExImperialDragon]

Put up on August 15th, and easily the best cover of this I've heard yet. It's criminal that this only has 35k views.

[@Roxnit]

Really digging these P5 covers Jules, keep em coming! As requested as it might be, "Rivers in the Desert" is just a must, and while it's been covered a bazillion times by other youtubers, I'm still hoping we'll get to hear your take on it!

[@bhutch600]

[@stevenn1940]

I'm very late to the party. Still a great party though! The only worry I had when seeing/starting this is if you could land the tonal shift: You completely nailed it. I have to say, I'm not very big on music generally. A lot of popular music just sounds the same to me. Same instruments, same general tone. One of the reasons I love the music for persona 5 so much is because it has wildly varying instruments, and wildly varying tones. Electric guitars and violins in the same track. What more can I say? It just sounds...interesting.

[@random767612e]

I'd really like Rivers in the Desert, but if you're looking for as song that has NOT been requested a bajillion times, I'd also really like to hear "Price", aka the third palace theme.

[@MrLopez2112]

Maaaaan this is so sick!!!! And your mixing skills always blow my mind

[@megamen7353]

Ive seen so many covers not just persona, also other games but bro you are amazing. You really understand the music and make a real "cover". Most of the people thinks cover means playing the same song over but you put your soul in it. Really amazing great job!

[@DesertRainReads]

Love that by and large this is faithful to the original but then adds some spins to make it your own. Solid job to say the least, great guitar and bass work. Definitely digging the breakdown towards the end too.
