Adele’s song ‘Hello’ has been a hit basically since the power notes first rang out of the British superstar’s mouth.
It’s been covered so well and so many times that we’ve actually lost count of how many covers there are.
But one thing we can almost guarantee is that you’ve never heard it covered quite like this.
You have to listen to this reggae-style cover performed by a talented brother and sister.
Meet the 14-year-old Rosie Delmah and her brother Nicholas Murray, better known as Rodesha and Conkarah.
Rosie and Nicholas are from the Solomon Islands, where reggae is a very large part of their lifestyle, culture, and music scene.
Conkarah decided to create his own twist on Adele’s “Hello” by giving it a reggae identity and he asked his sister if she would perform the vocals.
The singing sibling duo is nothing short of remarkable.
Creating a good cover version of an already brilliant song isn’t exactly an easy task, but you can definitely see that these two have incredible musical talent.
The cover starts with Rosie singing beautifully, but it doesn’t take long before her older brother Conkarah sets up some reggae beats, which takes the cover to a whole new level.
The mix of Rodesha’s vivid and crisp vocals with Conkarah’s reggae influences creates a fantastic cover that you absolutely have to hear for yourself.
Her voice rings out crisp and clear, but with a cadence that transforms the song we know.
Conkarah was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and studied at the University of Virginia thanks to the aid of a soccer scholarship.
After his studies, he returned to Jamaica to pursue his one true passion: music.
The young man has already made quite a name for himself and performed at Reggae Sumfest on the same day as Jamaica’s 50th Anniversary of Independence.
With currently almost 112 million views on YouTube, this reggae rendition of “Hello” has certainly “gone viral”.
“1 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube in less than a month!!! 🙌🙌🙌 You guys are awesome thank you for your ongoing support and love… Big up Rosie Del Mah and the Solomon Islands massive!!!” Conkarah wrote after the video was first posted on YouTube.
The video has also made headlines and Rodesha was featured in The Solomon Star, a local newspaper.
Conkarah and Rodesha have covered plenty of other titles on their YouTube channel, including songs by Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, The Backstreet Boys, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran.
Conkarah also records original music and has a following of over 946K subscribers on YouTube.
And he’s got them for a reason- he’s unbelievably talented with a smooth, silky voice to match his skills, just like his little sister.
One thing is certain, you won’t regret listening to their reggae-fied rendition of Adele’s smash hit.
