Reaction: Avi Kaplan - Change on the Rise

[@cathyboyce9617]

As Patrol Gaming said " you don't listen to Avi's voice, you experience it"!

[@sdlady1]

I think most people associate Avi with just his bass voice. But he has such a range his other songs will surprise you.

[@elizabethlatham6248]

This is such an amazing song! Avi is super talented! He is performing all of the background vocals too! All of those velvety smooth mega low tones 😍😍

[@igman3878]

Hey Kyle! Thanks for doing Avi's first single. He wrote the song and all the vocals are him. Most of his material is original and showcase his range and interests. He is exceptional!

[@drewtaylor2636]

I saw him at the Troubador in LA last year and had tickets for the cancelled tour this year. He's just as good live! So humble and so talented. AVI FOREVER!!!

[@sysjames6514]

His voice is so good and strong ! yah ? Avi sings like an angel ..one with a deep voice xD

[@marlienfourie210]

Goosebumps throughout the entire song and this happens every time I listen to it. Love Avi's voice. Thank you for your reaction.

[@sysjames6514]

I love all Avi's solos..he just kills ..always !

[@susanb4213]

Apparently all the background voices-ALL-are Avi .Impressive.

[@joshuabarltley8499]

I max out my headphone volume for avi and then a sea salt chip commercial pops up. How tf do i recover from this.

[@juliestevens6931]

What do we think about it? It's Avi! We will love it!!

[@summerarmstrong2841]

Avi always has been and always will be an exceptional, talented singer with a gift like none I’ve ever heard before. It’s taken me a while to get into his stuff because it’s so DIFFERENT than what I was used to w/ PTX. To be honest, I was a little bit upset that he left but I can’t judge him because there are reasons I don’t know about. Anyway, I’m able to see a whole different side to his talent now and it’s amazing! Also, Kyle, you’re one of my favorite reactors. You truly love reacting! I love watching your face and the enjoyment and even the awe on your face when you react! You’re also very knowledgeable and we appreciate that. Thanks for your reactions!

[@wmoros4902]

I swear he is so wholesome

[@julieseavers3980]

Definitely movie soundtrack material!!!

[@michellecole6325]

Album! I'll Get By...it's a treasure trove :)

[@amiemariecreative163]

I was planning to see him live in Vancouver.. but the universe (and COVID) decided it wasn't the right time. Can't wait to one day though ❤

[@amandasamson4513]

Thank you for your consideration. we appreciate it. I was truly looking forwar to this reaction

[@cindymoore9096]

That was really generous on your Patreons’ part to support sharing the exclusive videos. My thanks to them AND you. This song totally sounds like it should be on the soundtrack of a movie.

[@oliveiramarinho9817]

Have a look to the song "full moon"... Avi's voice is so beautiful and peaceful. Love your reactions BTW... regards from Switzerland 😊

[@kristiejenner9693]

I was so heartbroken when I saw he left Pentatonix though I did understand why he felt he had to and they are still going on strong. But I LOVE what he’s coming up with as a solo artist.

[@ryanje8147]

Awesome....long live Avi.

[@rondileem3111]

Yay! Thank you! I’m a big fan of your reactions and did so want to see you react to this! Love Avi. I get to see him live in Austin next month! Can’t wait.

[@annrosettemata4356]

A new subscriber today bc you reacted to Avi’s song 😍

[@frankmartin1168]

His album comes out the 28th of this month. Its on pre order on Amazon

[@sunshineness2007]

Great song love Avi he's amazing ..

[@johnnaliggett3625]

His voice is so powerful, rich, smooth & soul touching. You realize how he suppressed the piwer during his PTX days not to over piwer the other voices.(Mitch does that as well) He has a whole EP that came out ....its very eclectic diverse music. The words to the songs show his struggles & overcoming them. I love for you to react to all his music...its a mix of Americana, folk, blues, country & soul...its a new genre. I love every song. His songs I'll get By & It Knows Me are amazing as well ( they all are lol) Thanks for the reaction.

[@pentatonya1778]

This is part of the new EP “I’ll Get By” being released 2/28 Limited Edition Signed Vinyl available now. Yes... COTR belongs on a movie soundtrack!!! New song “Born In California” was just released today (Tuesday). Audio only. It’s soo GOOD! He just keeps outdoing himself! You: “Oh *hit!” 🤣

[@milo_thatch_incarnate]

If this were the mood and aesthetic of an actual movie, starring Avi like this, it would probably straight-up by my favorite movie ever.

[@elenahume8295]

AVIII IS 🔥 PURE TALENT

[@amiemariecreative163]

Ahhh!! I'm so happy you released this one on youtube!! I totally understand doing exclusives for people who are able to financially support you, but I really am so pumped and looking forward to seeing your reaction to his original solo songs. Especially this one! I legit cried the first time I heard the song. It spoke to something I was directly dealing with internally at the time. All of his songs do that actually ❤ I think he is an incredible writer, but also his voice and tone just hits you at the soul level. At least for me 😁

[@PTXBluejay]

I like your reactions because you're so into what you're watching and so excited to talk about it, that it's like seeing it again for the first time for me. You're someone who appreciates talent in general. You're open to listening to different music to give appreciation to what these people bring to the table. We Pentaholics are very fortunate. We have an amazing group of reactors who love our people and help us to celebrate it. Thanks for that. 😊

[@AXelaYrrag]

Thanks, Kyle! Love this song!! Glad you enjoyed it, too.

[@MelaniePoparad]

You mentioned that you did this for your patreon and I was hoping you’d release it on here at some point. So thanks! You have really interesting insight. :)

[@katconley2995]

Holy smoke!!!! I felt it way down in my belly!

[@s_lasgalen]

Also thank you so much for letting us see the videos that we couldn't see before. All this patreon thing has always been a problem for me cause I'd definitely be a patron if I had an ability to but as I'm under 18, I don't have a back account and I can't spend money on patreon as I don't possess any. Thanks for caring about us and for being so sincere and genuine. Lots of love💕❤

[@s_lasgalen]

Your bangs are adorable!

[@gwinnellheald8592]

The new album comes out Friday I'd love an album reaction! Also before change on the rise he released a few songs with a band and on his own. The first ever solo song he did was 'quarter past four' I believe

[@sherrismith8337]

I really love watching someone react to a song as strongly as I do. I feel like we're sharing the experience. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey with this song. Also, thank you for exposing me to the song to start with!

[@ds9639]

That song just gives me goosebumps every time. Amazing.

[@Tinkerbellgirl59]

I'm so happy to see your reaction to this!! This is my favorite song by Avi atm. His voice is amazing.

[@theresamarion823]

Thank you for letting us see this reaction to Avi. I really wanted to see your reaction to this because all the singing was done by Avi. All the bass notes and the background harmonies. Again thanks you for posting this.

[@rlhcat7662]

Thanks for sharing this Kyle! I appreciate that the patreons get a few days or a week preview and I'm also grateful to them for being willing to have you share the videos with all of us. Another one I'm crossing my fingers for is Home Free and Avi in Ring of Fire.

[@Max-jf5vu]

That's very kind of you, I love that we get to see this. It's such an amazing song and really signifies a changing point in Avi's life. Great to see your reaction!

[@beltizad]

Much love Kyle. When I can, i'll support. Times are tough right now, but I'm so glad to see all your stuff. I like and respect you.

[@skneptun8870]

Thank you so much!!! How you are doing it now is probably the best solution

[@mamabearess2395]

When they light the torches... "Oh shit." YES! hahaha. When the torches are lit, we know something's going down lol I love this song. Avi's voice is so strong and powerful in this one. Thanks for your reaction

[@kimsowles4044]

Thank you! I’m so glad you (and your patreons decided to share this ❤️). Avi just holds a special place in my heart, he is AMAZING, there are many more of his new songs for you to enjoy, several are audio only but don’t let that stop you (those are some of my personal favorites) can’t wait to see many more of your reactions......even the ones I might have to wait a little bit longer for.

[@nicolelylewis]

You should also do PTX “standing by”; Avi is singing solo and Scott takes over as bass....really good!

[@nicolelylewis]

His songs “get down” and “it knows me” are good too!

[@ellenhofrath]

It's an entire ep, not out yet. There are 4 videos and 2 songs audio on KZbin.

[@calhoun1968]

Most people do a day or two before general release, some do a week. The Album is coming out soon. He has just done all the signing of the pre-orders. If you want to hear his voice in a movie, he did the Basso Profundo work for the new "Blade Runner". Peace, Love and Light Kyle.

[@LPyxel]

Woah he did?! I had no idea, that's awesome!

[@rlhcat7662]

Thanks for the info on Blade Runner. That's enough to make me see it!

[@thehutch1674]

This song is the first on his EP, but was released as a single like early last year

[@louellamoyer5578]

Tribal!!! Amazing! He layered all singing. He does have an EP out with several songs. Look him up on You Tube Has his own plus streams live. Stay safe!

[@markbell4017]

Wait! Who are you and what did you do with Kyle? Kyle doesn't wear glasses and Kyle doesn't have hair, he has a beanie. Fess up now! What did you do with him?

[@jenniferp5916]

I hear you! He does look different!😀

[@jeffc8965]

I was thinking the same thing...

[@KyleKholin]

Haha. I made this video spur of the moment when I realized I needed to put an explanation before the video. Sorry I look weird!

[@markbell4017]

I wouldn't say weird but definitely different. It's amazing how different you look. Master of disguise?

[@janniestenskjr1093]

I like the look with the glasses 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Sandy-be8wq]

Thank you for the release, loved it!!! Avi was fearured on the sound track for Blade runner which was nominated but did not win. That sound track can be found on KZbin.

[@TheScottParadox]

I said the same thing when it came out. It feels like the beginning of a Bond movie akin to Adele's Skyfall. Edit: I believe I actually thought it would've been great for Vikings' intro back then.

[@bubgum00]

One of my favorites.

[@jasonhueber6568]

As soon as I heard it I thought it should be the theme song for like an HBO series

[@lovingtheglovedone]

Well that’s generous of you and your patreons, thanks. Usually they get to see the material a day or so before everyone else. That’s how it works for the accounts I joined. I’ll be switching over to yours and another person because some of the artists I’ve been supporting have been inactive for a while and I really love your channel. ❤️

[@KyleKholin]

Thank you!!!

[@professionalvampire1]

I am one of the patreons who voted in favor of releasing the exclusive content. My reason for doing so is that I think everyone should have the ability to see Kyle's great reactions, including those who, for whatever reasons, might not have the ability to sign up as patreons.

[@lovingtheglovedone]

Leslie Albrecht Well, thanks again and I joined a few mins ago. Does Avi Kaplan have one?

[@mikkj1]

@@professionalvampire1 I agree. I can't do Patreon right now, but when I did, the perk was more about early access rather than exclusivity. All of you who are currently Patreons understand that, if you like someone enough to be a Patreon, you want their channel to grow and for them to succeed, so releasing all of the content is important. I appreciate your understanding, and thanks for supporting Kyle.

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

@@lovingtheglovedone No, Avi doesn't have a patreon.

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

His EP is coming out Friday. I would love it if you could work your way through it. He worked with one producer and the work is really cohesive. Space it out as you choose but it would be great for you to hear it front to back. This is the first song on the EP

[@markbell4017]

Oh, there he is!

[@rlhcat7662]

LOL!

[@Stevesrssrssrs]

It's part of an album! Check out The Otherside, his second single from this album!!

[@8fran08]

Hey Kyle, just saw another release from Avi on the notes below it said an EP release scheduled Feb. 28th this could be on that??? I liked this too! Aloha 🖖

[@melissamclain9819]

Thank you!

[@michaeladams8722]

I was guessing there wasn't anything under your beanie...hair...who knew? Thanks for the great reactions!

[@debhouckscraftycottage]

Avi's EP is due out 2/28, and I guess you can still pre-order. Also, he is touring in the US starting in a week or two. :) You probably already know that since you reviewed this a bit ago. Thanks for releasing it to the rest of us.

[@minakaukimato7167]

he was in germany 2-3 weeks ago i was at his concert it was so awesome he played a lot of new songs that nobody had heard and he did sing house of the rising sun live!

[@debhouckscraftycottage]

@@minakaukimato7167 I can't wait to see him April 3rd!!

[@drewtaylor2636]

He did this song at the Troubador last year. It was so awesome to be ten feet from him and hear his raw, powerful voice. The crowd went wild!

[@cathyboyce9617]

How wonderful for you!!

[@Jsman525]

Ifbyou liked this song. There is an old PTX original song called "standing by" lead by Avi.

[@CherryGryffon]

Swear to god I saw the thumbnail and thought another person was reviewing on your channel xD

[@blockheadgl]

Avi meets Game of Thrones

[@mstewart109]

You would love " the White Buffalo" music also.. He has had a few songs in the sons of anarchy show if that pikes your interest. He too finally has a new album. His voice is more ras0. But so damn good..." the rapture" is a new one " the whistler" is a great one too. he writes most of his songs like Avi does.

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

I guess you aren't on Twitter but I posted this reaction over there. I hope more Avi fans find you.

[@ptxcolleen2393]

I hope you watch his ep trailer next. It explains where he's been and why.

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

Yes! Here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJTLiGiAbdaKbZY

[@Bonofox1]

😬👉Thank YOU! for sharing this reaction on your regular channel!. GREATLY APPRECIATED

[@KyleKholin]

You're welcome. I hold you to what you said ;)

[@dylan_5]

You should react to Avi Kaplan's I'll Get By!

[@ambrossialynn4041]

His other stuff isn't as intense as this one... but definitely has that get back to the roots of back mountain side and bring it forth to our time kinda feel lol imo... man, back to his channel... wanna fall asleep to this song lol Just had to see your reaction ^.^

[@johngraves1955]

Can't help but wonder if these lyrics are about why he left Pentatonix.

[@stonecoldku4161]

If I had the time or the ability to I would make a two part fan tribute of Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame using two Avi songs. This one and the song Otherside. You should definitely do a reaction to Otherside if you haven't seen it already.

[@Pluddergnyf77]

Sound for Game of Thrones, sure.. I was also thinking it could have served as an intro for Frontier, that show with Jason Momoa :-) In any case, great reaction, love the stuff you release!

[@strongzelda]

You should watch "Ring of Fire" By Home Free, featuring Avi Kaplan :)

[@jameslaing3733]

Iomadae be with me. Friend or Foe, Pathfinder Goddess Iomadae be with your paladin in the battle to come.

[@gregsteele806]

Patreon is also a great home for videos that get blocked.

[@lovingtheglovedone]

Well I think I joined. I attempted several times but haven’t gotten a confirmation. I kept getting the ‘one moment please’ and then a blank page. Hopefully it worked. 🙏🏽

[@KyleKholin]

Looks like it worked. Thank you!

[@lovingtheglovedone]

Kyle Kholin Yay! You’re welcome. Love your reactions!

[@justlinsu]

Thank you for sharing this with 'all' Avi's fans.....I was one of the 'bummed' followers of yours when you announced only Patreons could see your reaction. I am happy if they get exclusive first time reactions....but let us simple followers see it later on.....I'm Australian & will probably never get to see him live....so I cherish any 'reaction videos' of Avi. Again thanks for changing your mind......A good PTX video where you can see Avi & Kevin just smash it (especially Avi's long long notes) is Megan Trainors 'NO' kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWqve3etj7SjqLs

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

Avi is amazing in that. The long long notes as well as how he uses the mike. Pulling away when he is harmonizing, moving to different spots for effect, changing the shape of his mouth to create the necessary sounds. Kevin also. If you watch a lot of beat boxers you know what he is doing but it's rare to be able to watch a bass do what Avi does in this piece.

[@KyleKholin]

I remember your concern, and I took it seriously. Thanks for sticking around Justlinsu

[@chloecole2274]

Please listen to Light in the Hallway by Pentatonix!!!

[@barefootalien]

If I could recommend the next Avi video you should do, it would be Otherside. If this is the gearing up for battle, Otherside is the still afterward, as the fallen soldiers wait to be taken to the next life. It's also a complete 180 in style and technique, and will really show you his range, both emotionally and physically. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnWko4Ouf6mif7c

[@kristinkirschenmann1163]

Woah! Very Avi of you to freak me out with how unrecognizable you are without your beanie! 😅

[@sydneyhind8351]

Avi has a more prevalent part in this PTX song.... I think you would like it. The live version is hard to hear: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eX-ZXoyQad2JisU but there is a soundtrack version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp3Toax4f81_pMU not asking for a reaction, just thought you would like it!

[@juliapurnell5773]

Call to arms music!

[@PJxpanterx]

For me, Avi is like half of ptx and always will be

[@bettinanielsen6336]

A show? Hell On Wheels vibes!

[@mejustme71]

I'd love you to react to PTX's Rockin Around the Christmas Tree. Thank you!

[@mstewart109]

I am not a patreon subscriber. I can't afford it. So no biggie because I have only surfed utube and found you once. So not a big deal. Your station.you can rule however you want. I am listening now as another click. If more straight tube I may be back...omg!! Love his voice.check Ali's newsong born in ca. Real good. Only no scenery. Lame as hell Avi. Talking g about trees and beauty and a blankscreen.i live in southern ca. Landof brown and dry.lol. think this one is off the same new album just out or soon...I can't wait either!! He was with pentatoxix( sp).

[@brycedorey360]

You need to check out voice play

[@tomswo4979]

You should react to Falling in Reverse The original The Drug in Me then react to the reimagined one they just released. I think you will like how completely different they are.

[@kathyholmes8881]

A lot of his other play list is kind like 60s folk vibe. Still he has that great voice......

[@Blue-rl5dp]

Yeah, makes me want to paint blue stripes on my face and grab a sword. With Pentatonix Avi was primarily part of the beat boxing background support and they didn't use him to actually sing much. It's what made such a great sound for them, but rather wasted Avi's full talent. His is the only voice on this piece. All the voices you here are his, I should say. I really like the deep bass background. You can hear the same effect on the "Wallace clip" of the soundtrack for Blade Runner 2049. Some clips call it Sea Wall Blade Runner. Anyway, Avi did that one before everyone knew him.

[@evanpulliam2545]

Great video! Please react to Elvira (Cover) by Home Free featuring The Oak Ridge Boys. With your background of country music and your love for bass it’ll be perfect!

[@ambeauty2001]

Can you please do The Promise by Superfruit (Mitch and Scott's duo group) it also stars Olympic Gold Medalist Adam Ripon. It's soooooooo amazing

[@salomiegradwell7704]

Thank you for a great reaction. Avi has a voice out of this world. Please react to Dimash Kudaibergen, another wonder - He is a young Kazakh singer with a 6 Octave range. See the link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpyzhGmqbZmknZY

[@marymarchmcclelland5203]

I was watching your reactions at first then found out you had reacted to some Avi but only for Patrons. I will admit it just stopped viewing your reactions. On disability and not extra money to be a patron. I have zero problem with the patrons getting first dibs then releasing it to the rest of us later. FYI, Avi just dropped his latest single a few hours ago. Born in California. It would be a great song for a western movie.
