[@matthewjohnson7347]

I love how he’s bringing back an old generation of music. The lyrics feel like they’re out of a 60’s love song but spun to sound even better in a modern era. I love him so much for that and I give him respect

[@Lenny19567]

That’s what I want to do when I grow up also

[@moisejazz1255]

Just 20 years old

[@janicepales]

YASSS 😭❤️‍🔥

[@fernandocarbajal9187]

Oh yes! That old 60s vibe, we have the opportunity to experience this now, a modern but classic version

[@ttae3918]

i agree.

[@urgirl.su08]

OMG HE SINGS LIKE AN ANGEL 😭😭😭😭😭

[@estigantz7489]

He really does

[@Mrudhula_Varma]

Yeahhhh

[@johnrampoldi]

hence the song title

[@bhsdirectpackagesllc8968]

same

[@stefanisykes2359]

Love it

[@katiee4396]

I hope he writes more 50s/60s style tunes, this era suits his voice so well

[@naifwu]

Ngl when i first listen to until i found you, i thought it was an old song bcs of his voice.

[@btdiditent]

​@@naifwu fr I thought the song was from the 50s

[@thebellbrothers3279]

​@@naifwuto be fair the big part of that 50s sound is the reverb that really stands out

[@starzytetso5889]

Agreed

[@josebustamante9182]

His debut album is insane, bright future ahead of this kid

[@christianlorre]

The background drapes and the band in tuxes really shows how hard he's trying to be old fashioned and classy. I really hope Steven has a big successful career. He's bringing something different and great to music.

[@dosha4007]

My Grandma who died 4 years ago, her name was Evangeline and the way he says "don't go to sleep" hit me so hard. I miss her

[@Helpfulsonya]

Omg,I wish you heal❤️‍🩹it is okay to be hit.I love stephen

[@5roundsrapid263]

A real tenor without Autotune? Is this a dream? Amazing. It’s like Chris Isaak mixed with Roy Orbison.

[@briantorres8035]

Roy would be so proud

[@sanjibthakuria9760]

Yup In Dreams vibes

[@viral_boost]

Elvis once said that Roy Orbison had the 'most perfect voice' and referred to him as the 'greatest singer in the world'

[@pasheg4345]

​@@viral_boost Cannot really argue with that. Orbison was insanely skilled and versatile - likely more than anybody in pop music history. And the versatility part doesn't really apply to most famous vocalists, including Elvis himself.

[@jonalonzo100]

That's what I was thinking. It gave me Chris Isaak's, "Wicked Game" vibe.

[@jen6790]

from singing in my high school cafeteria during lunch to performing on the tonight show...CRAZY; his vocals have always been unreal omg

[@briantorres8035]

Dang. Say hi to him for me lol

[@nicolecatherine]

omg hi jen! I was in a cappella with you and christina :)

[@EmmaC-TaylorsVersion]

I’m jealous

[@aaronsmith2882]

That’s awesome, glad he’s making it big. I’m guessing he was always a big Elvis fan?

[@236cal]

Yes he loves Elvis! PS he’s my wife’s cousin lol.

[@dianehartung5954]

And he is only 20 years old..... What a fantastic singerv!!!!!...

[@bikrantlamichhane]

Really?

[@andje_izidor_music]

To all Stephen Sanchez's stans out there, keep streaming his amazing songs. Protect him at all cost cause the music industry is just nasty nowadays x this guy's just mesmerizing. One of my very favorite singer-songwriter.

[@lindapoplin4473]

Andjee Izidor Cover Songs I totally agree with you. The music industry can be very brutal and this guy is PERFECT just the he is. OMG he's beautiful 😍

[@seanhitchcock2497]

Im a Beatles/AC/DC Willie Nelson type of music fan but this kid is f***** talented , I haven't heard a song of his that isn't incredibly good.

[@rtiller]

couldn't agree more

[@mariaangelalitwin7741]

He is a breath of fresh air! His style is hypnotizing, his music is profound and moving, his lyrics are magical and beautiful, his voice is angelical... and he is ADORABLE! Superstar in the making. Stay humble, Stephen! You are a shining star! ♥

[@jerichodejuan6854]

Holy smokes his voice is exactly the same as in the recording, chills!!!

[@countrygal0831]

Stephen is my new obsession. His music is so old school and dreamy, from the lyrics to the music itself. Oh I love it so much!

[@lindapoplin4473]

He's also pure CLASS. Look how he and the band are dressed and the stage. WOW! You don't see that anymore Except for Rod Stewart

[@lindapoplin4473]

I love him in his leather also. Lol

[@mikebasurto467]

The wife and I are in our 80’s and fell in love again listening to this song. Fantastic job Stephen

[@user-hi4uq1vj9q]

awwww ❤

[@valerieelliott3361]

At 80 I really believe he is the best I've heard.I could listen all day.He lifts my spirit.

[@Nicki9s]

Valerie! I agree. I’m 54 and find him quite dreamy to listen too.

[@curtispeters8296]

You lived through the greats this young talent was inspired by. You really think he's the best?

[@loveforeignaccents]

Oh, dear Lord, YES!!!!!!! Just heard this release on his personal YT channel. Love this man and his magical music and mysterious voice, like from an older era. Beautiful!!! 😍😍🥰🤩🤩🤗

[@1963freemanful]

Yessss like from a totally different era

[@montananerd8244]

The look on his face when he realized he was absolutely nailing it in front of millions of people...pure joy! He really gave it everything ❤️❤️❤️ tears are pouring down my cheeks

[@The-CoffeeMan]

Yeah. His body movements and the way he moved his hands and arms reminded me of Elvis’ performance in If I Can Dream

[@65musicgirl]

Just went to his concert last night and I don’t know how it’s possible but he sounds sooooooo much better live! He already sings amazing but live, you can see his passion and how strong his vocal is! Please keep making music like this!

[@veraglez1037]

That’s amazing because a lots of artists are trash in live singing they only do well with playback

[@lovewhitneyhouston22]

Yes!!! Seen him yesterday in SF! so much better live! The vibes & vocals were great!

[@thebellbrothers3279]

​@@lovewhitneyhouston22well considering he sings great without any help, the reason that it sounds more awesome live is because the sound system for performances is probably much better than anything majority of people would usually listen his songs on

[@aikane25]

this song is gonna be on a loop for a whileeeeee.. vocals, clarity, power.. 10/10🤌🏼❤️

[@tyslink]

Good to see there are still young people out there trying to make actual music.

[@headbangingmama8907]

He sings like Valentine's, chocolate, and roses all rolled into one! Love him!

[@Sharkhunt947]

Now that’s what you call talent. 👍🏼

[@yvonnelesage4107]

He is here in Australia. I just saw him on the Project Encore. Finally I have a face to this song and beautiful voice. You know I really thought he sounded similar to the Everly Brothers

[@marlenaaredo5377]

He is so young and so talented, I hope people appreciate his old-school style. I know I love it.

[@nataliadowner3896]

Stephen Sanchez is the BEST THING that's happened to this generation

[@ejcm55]

And my generation and I'm old.

[@yourvaccumcleaner]

FOR REAL!!

[@marinadepriest4966]

This man is gonna carry the future 🥹 pure TALENT

[@rosemah]

Takes me back to a time I didn’t exist in.

[@kristishaw7023]

Obsessed with his style, sound, band, everything about him. I hope he will be the next “big thing” in our music culture. We need this NOW!!!!

[@jimmycmartinez]

Saw him live here in Birmingham, AL. He's the real deal. Great performer and live vocalist.

[@btdiditent]

He was here in Birmingham? I wish I knew about it I would've definitely went

[@SandmanDreams]

This guy is bringing the 50s & 60s music back. Elvis, Buddy Holly, Richie Valens... All rolled into one. Makes me want to watch La Bamba again!

[@annamariahoffer-vagnato7870]

21. Century Elvis was born❤

[@angelcitygirl]

1:42 when he hits those high notes ----- sigh. 💗💗💗💗

[@janellaward3376]

What a delight! Handsome young man too!

[@Nicki9s]

I’m seeing him perform in Austin this Sunday! Taking my 20-year-old son to his concert! Can’t wait!

[@jaimeponton5033]

The level of talent! 🤯🤯🤯😍😍 superfan

[@htatpersonwhoop9687]

His singing is gorgeous. Thought it was impossible to hear a strong 60s falsetto from someone who hadn’t grown up during that era. So cool to see him perform live.

[@nannwuttyee8172]

I want more songs from himmmmmm

[@Dancingbear-id2fe]

That had to be one hell of a concert from the vocals to the instruments. Love how they were into the music until the end.

[@caroljones841]

Best singer in the last couple of decades he is awesome

[@jadranova9711]

This guy is great, nostalgic sound and style, pure. He's really something else

[@deborahmcmindes6812]

His voice is absolutely perfect for the genre… ❤️

[@AshrafS-lz5wr]

Its like he is singing to you.

[@tamieckert4548]

Well can’t mention Buddy Holly with out mentions of Ritchy Valens. Stephen is so gifted with the art of 🎼

[@paulaa5752]

Troubadour with a capital T, he can do no wrong! His lyrics are exquisite and you wonder what inspired every song. His music is transcending, taking you back to a different place and time. A very old, wise soul bound in a youthful artist. So in love with his work!!!

[@pitukarose9134]

Life can still hold unexpected surprises for us like this one - this boy with sounds from the 50s to 60s, I thought I was the only one who was into this music (I think my other life was from those years); in addition to its heightened sensuality (which I love to see). How wonderful, I loved it! listening to it made me miss Michael Hutchence!

[@hunghoangnghia7061]

His voice sounds like heaven

[@simplymk]

Fun fact the guy on the keyboard and I went to high school together😂 He’s so grown up🥹

[@kerrygomez5391]

Wow….First time I’ve heard of you on the Tonight show. You and your band are awesome

[@roberthsu1748]

Same thing... It was awesome seeing somebody NOT into themselves. Looked Stephen up, he is SO YOUNG, yet his voice sounds very Mature. I hope he continues.

[@lilyrrichard236]

I discovered him when I heard 'Until I Found You' on the radio and now I'm hooked! He sings like an angel and writes beautiful, unique songs!

[@valeriecrawford9860]

Don't change a thing Stephen 👍❣

[@mikaelb7735]

He is SUPERB!! Lovely, simple lyrics and such a way to sing with brilliant tones/ notes. Brought something new and "unique" into this often banal modern music. Bless him and his music life!!

[@paulpada8]

This. Is. Music.

[@roseld1438]

OMG, what an adorable guy, what an angelic voice, he’s # 1 for me……. Always….. ❤️ Love that song, Love his voice…..❤️

[@vaishnaviraghupate1611]

voicee , song , everything perfect😭😭😭

[@samanthalas3696]

He’s so young but truly amazing 😍

[@bageljade2165]

He sounds exactly like he does in studio wow

[@rosesantiquesmore2856]

He's so dreamy ❤❤❤😍

[@Nicki9s]

Agreed! ❤❤❤

[@roseld1438]

Dear God, even the word Stunning, isn’t enough, to describe this Gorgeous , incredible, AND talented young man……❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️, YOU’RE THE BEST, Stephen Sanchez…..❤️

[@justinanorue9800]

I get chills whenever it gets to " I'll be the pillow and I'll be the bed."

[@AudreyRoseLawson]

So amazing to see a young artist doing so well rn with this oldie type of sound 🥺 my fave ever !

[@mattdoucette6786]

Super smooth vibrato

[@loveforeignaccents]

I just am unsure if I should rename myself Georgia or Evangeline now 😜!!

[@biancaromay3665]

Stephen is a star. As simple as that

[@manup6814]

He is a heartthrob indeed 😍

He is handsome and a good singer!

[@englishtea9094]

Finally someone said it. Like let’s not lie he looks a lot like Elvis who was a lot of women’s biggest fantasy back in the days.

[@davanahsp6348]

He​ is​ gonna​ be​ one​ of​ the​ greatest artist​s

[@lofstromshannonm]

An artist who can truly sing... About time. So talented!!! Keep the songs coming! 💖

[@roycecrowe1066]

This style of music is so needed in todays world of poor words and grass thoughts. I am really happy to hear this and I WILL BE SURE LISTEN TO THE REST OF HIS WORK.. AWESOME.

I heard this around 10am today and it's all I've been able to listen to. He's so good and unique. Can't wait to see what next!
