Can You Feel the Sunshine: Sonic R [Vocal Cover] | Sab Irene ft. Sapphire

Here's my video game vocal cover of Can You Feel the Sunshine from Sonic R featuring Sapphire! I'm Sab and I love saxophone and video games, so now I make covers that combine two of my favorite things!

I AM SO EXCITED!

Sapphire and I have been talking about this collab for awhile. We got to finally meet at MAGFest this year and had so much fun! It made us even more excited for this project!

I wanted to keep things pretty close to the original arrangement, to an extent haha. I wanted to have it open really chill and relaxing before things got crazy. The original is so upbeat, but I tried playing it slow one day and really liked how it sounded.

One of the toughest challenges was the montuno piano part around the 4 minute mark. It's a specific type of rhythm and style that is a bit tough on the wrists at even slow tempos. There were a lot of fun challenges with that small section in terms of instruments, style, techniques, etc.

I cannot thank Sapphire enough for everything she did for the cover! She did an amazing job with the vocals, but also mixing this cover! She is such a wonderful person and musician to work with!
