Sometimes an old classic can be re-done with new style & justice....and Naturally 7 does this amazingly well with their a Capella styling of "Feel It (In the Air Tonight)". I've never been a huge fan of Phil Collins apart from Genesis, but I do like this song.... and this remade version is amazing.
I just discovered this band in 2009 but they have albums & a history dating back to 1999. The origins of the group date back to New York City in 1999 when Roger Thomas started the group with his brother, Warren, and five other talented singers they had come to know over the years from singing around the city. Having been in and out of several traditional male groups over the years, Roger developed an affinity for a cappella sounds and a unique ability to create distinct harmony arrangements. When invited to sing at a major a cappella competition in New York, they won the competition, moved onto the nationals and took away two more wins.
Riding the wave of this newfound success and still unable to decide if Naturally 7 were ging to be an a cappella group or a traditional band, Roger had a novel idea: they could be both.
I don't think these guys have yet reached the masses, but being an a Capella group, that could be a challenge. Though, Boyz II Men did it!
I've also included Extreme's hit song "More Than Words," done in a Capella by N7. Amazing!
