Kirstin wrote this song. She has a beautiful voice and it really shines in this song. You should really checkout Bohemian Rhapsody Mitch has the lead. I agree it does sound like Enya but this is all done acapella.
Some of their best originals are Love Again, Run To You, Sing, Can’t Sleep Love live at PopSpring 2016 and Happy Now
New original album isn’t out until 12 February 2021. They have already released one original album back in 2015
YES, THAT SOUND IS "ENYA" AND I LOVE IT !!! "BE MY EYES !!!" LOVE PENTATONIX'S NEW SONG THAT KIRSTEN WROTE AND THE VIDEO BACKGROUND IS "CLASSY AND BEAUTIFUL !!!"
Happy now is an original would love to see you react to that one 😊 also love again was written by mitch and he takes lead on it to 😊
This was a different sound for PTX. Scott summarized it in a promo by saying it’s about “that person in your life that gives you clarity”. Meaningful lyrics. I got Enya’s Orinoco Flow/Sail Away vibes at the beginning as did other commenters. Their versatility & creativity is breathtaking! It deserves radio airtime b/c if you close your eyes & listen, you would NEVER guess it’s acapella!!!!
My favorite originals from PTX are Sing, Run to You, That’s Christmas to Me and New Year’s Day! (Here’s a link for New Year’s Day as it doesn’t have an official video) czcams.com/video/m_yPtnQEex4/video.html
It used to have millions of views so I think it must have been re-uploaded.
Not sure if you've checked out Todrick featuring Pentatonix "Wizard of Ahhhs". I do love their originals so much, but this collaboration is soooo much fun. A medley/ mash up of several songs that tell the story of original The Wizard of Oz.
Yes, yes, yes 1000 times yes!!!! That's one of my all time fave Pentatonics songs!!
Kinda wish this wasn't your first reaction to an original. I like it, but I think there are others that I would have suggested first. Run to You and Light in the Hallway are pure beauty while Sing and Happy Now are bops
Loved your commentary Adam. PTX has lots of originals - Can't Sleep love (the music video and the live at Popspring 2016 for comparison); Thank You (written by Scott with Scott leading and playing piano and Kevin on the cello); Sing (with a great video with their fans); Happy Now (one of my absolute favourites PTX originals); Anchor (no music video just audio with Mitch in the lead). Looking forward to more reactions from you.
Kirstie doesn't write her own songs for the group that often - if you get a chance chk out 'Water' which they do live on tour (not sure there's ever been a vid for it but there are live versions) She does get to lead in a fair few of their videos (Shallow, Say Something, Rather Be etc... ) We need to remember that this batch of originals/covers/Christmas tracks are still being done individually and so maybe the process is more difficult for them as they thrive off each other normally when performing. I personally thank them often for their efforts to continue to produce content for their fans during these extremely difficult times. Thanks Adam - we do really enjoy your reactions , especially with all the blockages everyone is facing - we do appreciate all that you do . X
I think you'd really like their version of Bohemian Rhapsody!!
Another original from this ep Happy Now,,,,it will have you feeling great!!! This one written by Kirstin,,love that message for true friends to look after you when you are blinded by something..so cool
This song gives me “Enya” vibes ('Sail Away") but is mesmerizing just the same. Nicely done!
Lyndon
Amazing Grace drops tomorrow from their new Christmas EP dropping mid November
Great reaction. "love Me When I Don't" is another one that features her
👍 love your reactions! I would recommend their 2016 Pop Spring performance, it's 3 originals and the Michael Jackson medley. Absolutely one of my favorite live performances! Sooo much fun!
My favorite originals from PTX (so far) are “Sing”, “Love Again”, & “Happy Now”.
You should check them out!
There is a song i am pretty sure Kevin and Avi wrote together, i do know its an original. So of course it with Avi, but it called RUN TO YOU it worth the listen.
Run To You is an original of PTX
This original by PTX is so innovative and I love how it centers on Kirsten as well.
Kirstin
So glad you brought up the Enya comment. when the song started I kept thinking where have I heard that before. LOL.
Beginning was completely Oronoco Flow. Was nice to see how they changed it up after that, but still kept the beat throughout.
Thank you!
Kirsten wrote this song 😃
If you haven't seen Down by Kevin Olusola (Kevin from PTX), you should. Highly recommend! He is incredibly talented!
Kirstin
Yes this please 👆
You MUST check out Kevin's (KO) Down. It will make you appreciate Kevin even more than you currently do. It will BLOW your mind .. seriously.
I love hearing anyone talking about Pentatonix and loves them as much as I do. Thanks for this thoughtful reaction.
Kirstie was the primary songwriter on this song in addition to singing the lead. When it comes to PTX originals, they are definitely not like other bands. The style of their originals truly runs the gamut from hip hop to pop to soul to edm and on and on. There are various songs that feature the trio individually, like this one for Kirstie, but in general they tend to do the "share the lead" thing in different verses. And, yes, a ton of us Pentaholics have referenced Enya "Orinoco Flow" (Sail Away) since this was released. I would be surprised if you were familiar with Enya and didn't notice. This latest album of theirs that this song is on is their 2nd album of original songs.
I love your reactions. I really enjoy your comments and thoughts. I had many of the same. I think that LaLaLatch, NewRules and Valentine are a few of my favorites.
Totally can hear Enya! The first time I heard it, I honestly thought PTX was covering Enya, then I realized it was an original.
Hmm this was my first exposure to one of their originals, too. I didn't dislike it, but it's a very different feel. I'm looking forward to checking out other originals :-)
thank you so much for letting the video play straight thru without stopping a starting,not many reactors do that.i thnk it interrupts the flow of the son..thanks for your reaction take care.PS I LOVE PENTATONIX my fav group and I am 70 years old!!There music reaches all ages and brings a smile
This is a such reminder of Imogen. Its great. Thanks Adam. Never heard of this group before.
Pentatonix's latest music video starring Kirsten in the lead singing role. Glass being the primary theme
They also recently covered cranberries on this album and has a similar feel. There are just so many to recommend...since you like Kirsten so much, a throw back of there’s from the beginning is say something. They really do manage to sound just as good live. Also recommend their “evolution of _ “ videos. They do Michael Jackson’s, Rihanna most recently, and others...it shows them blending completely different songs into another and it’s also not studio recorded. I believe evolution of music is first. I’ve said on another video, but you must do imagine and bohemian rhapsody. Also jolene with dolly pardon. They also did if I ever fall in love early on with Jason derulo. Also there are songs where kevin sings too, they also rap in others but did a great job on boogie woo give bugle boy, plus there whole catalog of Xmas that is classic and modern. I forgot to say, I really enjoy your reviews as well. This group is reviewed a lot and I very much enjoy how you do your reviews and I know you have a lot of surprises in store if you continue to do reactions to their songs without listening to them first, which I can tell you haven’t so far. Merry Christmas! (Come ye merry gentleman is a great Christmasy tune they killed!)
you are not the only one who heard Enya at the beginning of this I thought they did one of her songs for a moment.
Just wait till you see Amazing Grace. New release from their upcoming Christmas album We Need A Little Christmas. Nice reaction.
For Pentatonix originals - check out Can’t Sleep Love!
If you wanna hear Kevin really going nuts with the beatboxing, there is a song from this same album called Coffee in Bed you should react to!! In this song Be My Eyes I have to say that Mitch is the star, even with Kirstie being lead. I just love Mitchs part! And yes, Enya was the 1st thing I thought of.
My fav from this album is A Little Space. This is my fav album up until now. Just gorgeous!!! Petals, Anchor & Easy Love are also on the deluxe version & are GORGEOUS!!!
I got huge Enya vibes at the beginning too. It almost sounded like it was going to be a cover of it for a second. This one wasn't my favorite of theirs either. "Run to You" is an original of theirs and is amazing though.
for the first few notes, i got a big Enya vibe, but then they just took off with it, i know Kirsten wrote or cowrote this. i thought it was a great song, very much like pop lol i wrote this before comment before i listened to your whole reaction. Guess we agree on the Enya vibe.
Kirstin
I believe this was one of 4 or 5 videos that were filmed while they were all in quarantine.
There are a few videos from this album. The lucky ones. All originals.
What I noticed right off was the tuned tympani sounds, which Enya used extensively.
Two others that are classic cover songs that everyone has to react to is IMAGINE a John Lennon song, and the other is BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY of course is a Queen song. If you decide to do these, find the offical videos. they have best quailty.
czcams.com/video/EEcW_qWxYJY/video.html We did a joint reaction to Imagine :)
@@AdamStraughan thanks, i will take a look
Run to You !!! you will love it.
Angelina dropped her new single with Republic records. Million Miles 3 days ago.
There are many original songs. Yes, this one did seem to borrow from Enya's "Orinoco Flow." Kevin isn't the world's best beat boxer. However, his talent for keeping an extraordinarily solid rhythm for the group, and very appropriate sound effects (ones that add to a particular song, rather than detract or distract), is unequaled.
Dude! Enya!! That’s exactly it. I’ve heard that in my head from the moment I heard the teasers but couldn’t think of the song! The layering is completely PTX’s style. Another great cover with layers is Just For Now by Imogen Heap.
Great reaction 😊 and congratulations on watching your first original by them 😊 yes enya is defenetly at the beginning lol 😂
I'd love to hear your reaction to their new cover, Amazing Grace.
Hey--when I first saw this it was blocked in my country (as was the one you did with Mace) , so I'm glad I noticed it now! Thanks! I would LOVE it if you reacted to their cover of "Amazing Grace" they released yesterday. I stayed up all night listening to it....One of my favourite originals from them is "Run To You." It's one of their earlier ones, and I think was written by Avi and Kevin. It's completely different from this one (not that I don't love this one too), but it would give you a sense of how different their originals are from one another too. Take care! xo
You need to listen to some of Kevin Olusola's solo work (especially his Harry Styles 'Sign Of The Times' cover).
I really get a Imogen Heap from this. This is great. Good catch Adam. A bit of Enya to I think. Wonderful.
Two of their originals that I really enjoy are Cracked and Natural Disaster
Love your review. I agree that I missed have a piece with Scott and Matt, but I'm also happy to hear Kirstie shine. I love the more traditional Pentatonix structure, but I know they have to experiment.
Two other originals you should hear - Run to You & Sing. All 3 are complex different. Just like their covers, you can’t get a feel for the work with just one song. From what I hear we will get an originals album in February. Me My Eyes should be on it as well as Happy Now. That’s another idea for an original. ☮️💟😷
You are not the 1st Reactor to Notice the Enya Sound. Of All of the Pentatonix videos I have seen I think That this is the only 1 that features 1 singer throughout. And I'm very glad it was Kristin. I have read that she wrote this song. I really loved your reaction. And I Really liked it when you teamed up with the other gentleman to do the reaction.
Since we are heading into the Christmas season you might consider Mary did you know, Dance of the Sugar plum fairies (which they won a grammy for), and for a fun one Your're a mean one Mr Grinch.
Definite an 80's nod to Enya, a song I love also! It's always a surprise when PTX does an original because you never know who is going to be the major inspiration or writer. They are each so gifted that the grab bag of options is limitless. You can tell Kirstin's style immediately. This is a lower energy song, very easy listening. Kirstin shines.
"Say something" is my all time favourite from Pentatonix, it is just so different from the original and gives me goosebumps each time I hear it. I would love to see your reation
I already subscribed but I see you are getting to you goal! This track is a Kirstin Vibe track, written and lead by her so that's why it has a different feel. I love how Kirstin has evolved not only in her singing/performance but song writing too.
Hi Adam, sorry I am not writing about Pentatonix but about Angelina Jordan. A few days ago she released un first original with Republic Records call « Million Miles » I hope we will be able to have your reaction about it because your comments are always on point and appreciate.
They will come, but do please check out the post I made on my community page on my channel :)
Pentatonix has released a new cover of "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)" from their upcoming new album "We Need A Little Christmas",
Love love love Enya!!!
I immediately heard Enya like you said.
Dear Mr. Strauhan, as a Pentaholic you might like to try "Home Free ft. Avi Kaplan in Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash. The are also a s cappella group and great fun. Their beatboxer is reknown for his art. Happy new year and stay healthy
I can't wait for you to react to the first release from their upcoming holiday album, their cover of Amazing Grace. It is beyond a doubt the most beautiful rendition ever made.
This was written by Kirstin. She has a song called Break A Little, would love for you to listen to it. This was on her own personal album.
Orinoco Flow with Sail Away 😊 definitely!
Amazing Grace will bring a tear to your eye. 💯 Also, check out their cover of Problem by Ariana Grande. 🔥
Also... Was it just me or did the beginning of this song sound like Sail Away by Enya? 🧐
The Enya vibe is strong with this opening. They have a lot of originals that span many genres. Try "Happy Now" and "Sing" and "Love Again".
Adam, If you want to hear AMAZING Acapella and harmonies you have to listen to the group HOME FREE - Songs -Helplessly Hoping, Ring of Fire,
Enjoyed your reaction...they just dropped a new song...Amazing Grace. In 2 days, it has well over 1 million views. It's wonderful, and it's one of their best...I personally think Kirstie shows her very best version of her voice !!
If you enjoy acapella you should check out Home Free. They are more country than PTX, but their voices fit perfectly in that genre. Their Ring of Fire has Avi from PTX on it and I know you !Ike him. ☺️
There was definitely an Enya influence or feel!
If you want to hear them all shine with their own little moments watch Amazing Grace cover that they JUST dropped!
Yeah I heard Enya as well
Bohemian rhapsody highlights mitch amazingly and has Avi their original bass and all their pentatonix magic.
I most definitely got an Inya ( no idea how to spell the name) vibe from this song and many reactors have said the same thing. So you're not crazy, or the reverse could be true and we could all just be crazy together. 😊
This is the second single released from their original album due out in February. "Happy Now" is a Scott focused song and they released that a few weeks back.. maybe a month? But that's an original as well. They recorded the music video for "Happy Now" back in September of 2019 when they were still on their world tour.
Definitely an unmistakable pull from Enya.
OMG! Yes, Enya. It has been bothering me since the first time I heard "Be My Eyes."
I’ve always wanted them to do a cover of Orinoco Flow, and now I have it one better!
I bet their Amazing Grace will give you that emotional impact.
Happy Now is a really good song...
Hey dude! Found you from the Dimash reaction! Really enjoying your videos, really like to see your prespective on the performances and just see you get blown away every time :p
I would love to see you reacto to Dimash - Love is Like a Dream and Ogni Pietra ( with your father on this one ;)
Thanks so much man! I really appreciate that. Ogni Pietra will happen with my Dad when COVID restrictions hopefully pass!
Totally agree Adam, their ‘new’ sound and style is fantastic but really hope they don’t lose the PTX sounds that made them who they are!
Enya is exactly what I thought when I heard it the first time too and really works for Kirsten’s and Mitch’s voices.
Love the videography in this too, simple but effective.
ADAM I AM BEGGING YOU TO REACT TO THEIR SEASONS OF LOVE COVER PLEASEEEEE
Hi Adam, hope you're enjoying your time away.Miss you. Check out Postmodern Jukebox ft, Haley Reinhart doing
Seven Nation Army. If you haven't heard this do yourself a favour. I think you'll love it.
I suggest Amazing Grace by Pentatonix!!! It was released yesterday!!! You’ll love it!
Angelina Jordan - Million Miles (Official Lyric Video) this is a new song
Everyone has made the Enya reference
It’s a pop song and needs about 10 listens for it to grow on you... yes enya defiantly... but being influenced by some of the greatest song writers of my generation 70s 80s is not a bad thing. Tr6 getting into Mitch and Scott and their Superfruit 2 albums....unbelievable and more dance trance type sound but their song writing and duets are on point..and I have it on repeat while driving. Would love to hear you review KD Lang Live... as you get more of her vocal range...
You must check " bohemian rapsody " by PTX
I was watching for your reaction to the first part which certainly has an Orinoco Flow flavor, but it's sufficiently distinct to avoid copyright problems. As you noted, Enya was a master of layering. I believe she is under-appreciated, then and now. Here is a visual comparison of the two songs (not a reaction request): czcams.com/video/sIv2nZB3ACo/video.html
Please, react to the new single of Angelina Jordan, Million Miles, produced by Republic Records.
You have to react to Happy now which is an original pent song
Would I somewhat suggest sonewhat older norwegian track? Bel Canto "Shimmer warm and bright". Yes, I would.
She wrote it
You should check out some of their other Originals 'Sing', 'Love Me When I Don't', and their collaboration with kpop group Ateez - here is the official video czcams.com/video/_NopH1AxEq8/video.html and then they did like a solo version of it for some hydration commercial and it's pretty fun too czcams.com/video/mgkNlkMDZ_U/video.html and then check out their covers of 'Cheerleader', and 'Can't Hold Us'!
For a perfect ongoing combination of Kristy and Mitch you should react to New Rules x Are You That Somebody.
Orinoco Flow
Hello. Please react to Amazing Grace from Pentatonix. Newly released
New Sub,
Check out their cover of Imagine Dragons 'Radioactive' they collab with Lindsey Stirling and Kevin plays his cello while beatboxing and of course Lindsey plays Violin while dancing
Orinoco Flow... indeed... but it's very catchy. But is that PTX? It's more one lead voice and backing vocals... I like it, but for me it is not really what I expect from PTX... 👁👁👁👁👁
I hope you will add Sissel Kyrkjebø to your reaction lists. She is one of the worlds finest sopranos, and the one who sang the arias in the Titanic movie. Fun fact, she is form Bergen, the same town as Aurora. You have talked about the clarity in Aurora's voice, and it is gorgeous, even though Aurora is my all time favorite artist, when Sissel go high she is on another level then the rest of the worlds sopranos. As Christmas is soon upon us I beg that you react to her performance of O Holy Night in Norwegian. There are no show, no costumes and musical theatrics, it is just Sisssl. czcams.com/video/XUgfL-2r6W8/video.html Sissel Kyrkjebø - O Holy Night - 2009
Oh wow! Thanks for this!
