CARLOS NOBREGA, “All Of Me” (free download)
It’s hard sometimes to write about a cover of a song that has been recorded to death, but fortunately John Legend’s “All Of Me” is timeless and when the right voice invests in it, then the rendition works well. Such is the case with Portugal’s Carlos Nóbrega, who has released his cover as part of a free download collection called Songs I Wish I Wrote (Piano Sessions). This of course is in anticipation of Carlos’ long-awaited album, which I expect will be much more of a rousing dance party 🙂 You can’t really stray too much from the original of a song like “All Of Me” or it won’t work. The key here is Carlos’ emotional vocal. This talented singer and actor is a lover, not a fighter, and he puts a few beautiful vocal spins into the mix to make his own interpretation stand out. Download it for free at the link above, along with the accompanying and equally lovely covers of Sia’s “Breathe Me” and A Great Big World’s “Say Something”.
