Most singers hit some sort of hesitant trance before going into riffs/runs/money notes, but I've always found that Shoshana, arguably one of the few greatest singers in this era, lets her emotion lead her vocally. It's exquisite to witness -- a huge fan of this cover. Genuinely wish she had more recognition here in London x

Shoshana will never know.. How many times I come back to this.. How much it soothes my soul and fires it at the same time. Incredible how a voice can just knock you off your feet, hug you, and BLOW YOUR MIND.. who may ever come across this, soak it up, take a moment, press play when you're next ready.. And soak it up again. Music is the best of life, and this is one of the best of music's translators.. ❤

I'm floored and so happy she let her voice flow wherever the music took her. I could be wrong but her mic placement looked like she wasn't 100% sure how those high falsettos would come out.
