Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" might be the best song to cover, though if done improperly it will result in a big mess. And doing something different with it? A very good thing. For instance, what if you sang it a capella and then added yourself acting as the other instruments? And also label what instrument sound you are making with your mouth so I don't get confused? Ladies and gentlemen....Mr. Mike Tompkins.
Even though "Rolling In The Deep" is a popular song to cover, it's a difficult one to pull off. Mr. Tompkins does a good job here with his one-man band style. This isn't how you typically cover a song. My favourite part? A little past halfway of the song, you hear these computerized sounding high vocals repeating the echo of the song: you're gonna wish you'd never have met me, tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep. It's what singing would sound like if it rolled down a slow river to a waterfall...at night. Yeah, I'm still working on my metaphors. Mike Tompkins injects his own flair into "Rolling In The Deep," while still retaining to original soul put into it by Adele. I can't find anything wrong with what he's done here. All I see is what he's done right.
