Sarah Close (born in the Isle Of Wight) is a YouTuber who uploads two covers to her channel every week and her delicate powerful voice is literally captivating! I started to watch her about three/four years ago back when she only had around 3000 subscribers and to think nowadays she has around 650000, her popularity has risen rapidly. I have to say she is by far my favourite YouTuber as her videos always make my day and put me in a happy mood, something which not just any video can do! Sarah specialises in putting her own twist on either current chart songs or throwback songs of hers and no matter what the style of music, her voice makes the song beautiful.
If you've read some of my previous posts, you'll know that I recently talked about Lady Gaga's "Million Reasons" and how emotional the song is. The reason why I fell in love with that song is by hearing Sarah Close's cover of it which is actually incredible, making it probably one of my favourites of hers. When I first heard the cover, I found it exceptional how she put so much thought, care and sorrow into a ballad that wasn't even her own. Also, throughout the song, Sarah hits some incredible notes whilst showcasing what in my eyes are some of the best vocals around nowadays. Since hearing her cover of the song, I have fallen in love with the original which I have added to my playlist and cannot stop listening to. Please listen to the cover below to understand what I mean when I emphasise how captivating it is!
Another favourite of her covers has to be her cover of Tove Lo's "Talking Body". The reason why I love this cover so much is because her vocals are on another level in this song, making me wanna (try and) sing along as well as the song is already a super catchy one. Also, the song seems completely different when Sarah covers it which is quite peculiar as she is singing the exact same lyrics to the exact same chords but it works and it makes it feel like an original. Just like "Million Reasons", the cover made me add "Talking Body" to my playlist and for a while, it was certainly one of my top songs. For some reason, Sarah Close seems to have this effect on me where whatever she covers turns to gold and I immediately love it, I'm defiantly not complaining though! Have a listen down below and see if you think the same as me...
Even though she may have 650000 subscribers on YouTube, Sarah definitely deserves more as she is such an amazing and beautiful artist. Whenever you can, please make sure to subscribe or even just watch her videos (I promise you their highly contagious). Sarah has such a unique and underrated voice that really needs to be appreciated more, please do whatever you can do!
I hope you enjoyed this showcase on one of my favourite people Sarah Close. I've got a lot more of these posts planned for the future so if you enjoy them, get excited!
