Get to Know @Wrabel with “Into The Wild” and @DJAfrojack’s “Ten Feet Tall”

WRABEL, “Into The Wild” and “Ten Feet Tall” (with Afrojack)

25 year old New York native Stephen Wrabel is following a similar path of fellow New Yorker Matthew Koma.  Wrabel is connecting with audiences as the voice behind Afrojack’s “Ten Feet Tall”, already a Top 20 hit in the UK and the Netherlands, and prominently featured in a Budwiser ad during Super Bowl.  To me, “Ten Feet Tall” is 2014’s “Don’t You Worry Child” or “Clarity”, an uptempo emotional ballad that will endure long after it leaves the charts, and largely because of Wrabel’s affecting vocal.  And you can tell that Wrabel goes way beyond this song by checking out songs from his debut EP for Island called Sideways, including the softer version of “Ten Feet Tall”.  “Into The Wild” (co-written with Drew Pearson and the amazing Dan Black) in particular showcases his high range and there is no question that his identifiable voice and songwriting style will serve him well on his forthcoming album, due later this year.  Listen to “Into The Wild” below and check out the lyric video for “Ten Feet Tall”.
