Review
Mainey has been releasing covers for a couple of years now and has racked up over 1.5k subscribers on youtube and well over 300k views! Not bad huh? But you’ve got to give to him, he is very talented.
He covers songs from Mario, to Chris Brown and even Carly Rae Jepsen! His range is amazing, he hits every single high note in Climax and Frank Ocean’s – “Thinking Bout You” confidently and unlike every other male who covered these songs and sounded weak and slightly pitchy, Mainey did not. He also remixed and merged 2 other songs, which surprisingly sounded verrrrry good! Who woulda thought of putting Chris Brown’s – “Don’t wake me up” over Maroon 5 – “Payphone” ? Well..
You start to see Mainey’s experimentation and his own creativity flowing through, as well as staying true to the already stunning songs and doing them justice, it being a ‘COVERS mixtape’.. however this doesn’t leave him with much to set him apart from every single other upcoming male singer just covering the latest male ballad, but at this rate, as he’s starting to release originals, but until then, me personally, I’d love to see him switch things up, differently, transform a song and make it HIS.
He hasn’t released anything for a month or so, and next time he does you’ll be sure to know, TRUST ME! I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next, YDK are following him on his story to success!
