The American group Pentatonix became famous for their a cappella singing. The quintet performs both their own compositions and covers.
New album “PTX Presents: Top Pop, Vol. I ”consists of cover versions of modern pop hits. The track list, in particular, includes the songs of Camila Cabello “Havana” (we will separately tell about it below) and “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi.
Pentatonix
Pentatonix is an a cappella group originally from Arlington, Texas, USA, originally consisting of five vocalists: Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Avi Kaplan and beatboxer Kevin Olushola.
The group for the recognition of its members does not have a specific musical direction, as it receives influence from various genres, such as pop music, dubstep, electro, reggae, hip-hop and others. Basically, the band makes cover versions of songs by popular artists, and also creates their own songs.
The group was formed in 2011, and then won the third season of the music competition “The Sing-Off”, receiving bonuses in the amount of $200000, as well as a contract with Sony Music. Later, the team naturally created its own YouTube channel, which currently (April 2018) has more than fifteen million subscribers, providing the channel with a total of more than three billion views. One of the leaders in views, the “Hallelujah” video, published in October 2016, has more than 2018 million views as of today (April 300). Although the video is not for everyone, the a cappella is certainly mesmerizing. Join this third of a billion right now:
Camila Cabello
A Cuban-American singer who gained fame after participating in The X Factor television show in 2012, in which she participated with the group Fifth Harmony. Camila has released one mini-album and two studio albums.
One of Camila's most successful projects, her 2017 solo single "Havana," topped the charts in many countries (including the Billboard Hot 100), and Camila's debut studio album reached number one on the Billboard 200.
As mentioned above, in the album “PTX Presents: Top Pop, Vol. I ”just entered Camila Cabello's song“ Havana ”, which was recently released. To compare the versions of the track, we present the original by Eduardo Serranow and Camila Cabello:
Video “Havana ft. Young Thug"
Well, and of course, the official video for this song called “Havana ft. Young Thug,” posted on YouTube last October (nearly 600 million views as of April 2018). Of the six-plus minutes of total video length, almost three minutes are occupied by a fascinating introduction, similar to a comic melodrama. Isn't this the secret of the popularity of this video? Perhaps Russian music video directors should consider this idea. Well, the song is, of course, incendiary.
We started with a review of the album “PTX Presents: Top Pop, Vol. I ", and we end with a super popular video for the track" Havana ". This is logical and the video is good. Enjoy.
