"Hallelujah" (Leonard Cohen) - TOMMY JOHANSSON cover! Unique? Special? Successful?

If you've been following me for any length of time, you might be aware that I LOVE "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. I just think it is one of the most well written contemporary songs of the last 50 or 60 years. Simple, deep, hard hitting, and beautiful in a musical sense as well.

This is why I decided to do little mini 'series' on three different artists I enjoy listening ot, doing their own version of this great song. Emma Kok is a real favourite person and singer here at my studio, and so I decided to start with her. Check out that video here:

Now onto singer #2 in this mini series: TOMMY JOHANSSON. Yes, the metal singer from Sweden who came onto my radar recently, with an truly great voice and technique. Tommy also has a very specific personality and way of interpreting songs, which I find interesting.

Join me as I analyse what makes Tommy's version special, successful/not, wonderful to watch, etc. Let's not just go on our emotional response, but also take apart the arrangement, technical vocal application, connection to the song's emotional intention, etc.

I would love to hear what YOU thought of this performance!
