Deejay is an amazing performer. He has been on Broadway in Hamilton, and toured with the show extensively. He did Man in the Mirror with Voiceplay, also Bang, Butter, Christmas Don't Be Late, You're My Best Friend, and In My Room.
Geoff dropped Song of Durin on Saturday and Voiceplay's next comes out this Friday. Please don't make us wait so

Thanks for the reaction. This is Geoff's arrangement. Geoff dropped his new one on Saturday (Sept. 21st) and it is wonderful. His vocal range showcased more extensively in his solo work always astounds me...every time. VP is releasing a new one this coming Friday (Sept. 27th).

Love the way VP let DJ shine. Thanks for sharing

I LOVE that this inspired you to pick up your guitar and play ❤

[MtheHell]

You know, that you heard "good music", when it motivates to play along. 😃
Very nice reaction, great addition with the guitar - and I'm looking forward to see your "catch up" videos to VP and Geoff. 🥰😉

I love the jazzy, but also bluesy bits Geoff put into this arrangement. It has such a sexy, smooth groove to it. Great one for you to come back on.

[EtherealForever]

DeeJay is the perfect collaborator for this! 🌹🕊

I have missed your VP reaction/analyses. You provide such wonderful insight. Also, loved you picking up the guitar and throwing some blues riffs in there. VP are definitely inspirational.

[karinwolf]

That was sooo good! LOVED your guitar harmonies... 🎉😊❤ And it got better and better... please do the new one, coming out next Friday probably... so much fun & theatre!

Layne is the percussion/beatbox gent on the left with a sweet voice a large range. Next is Eli (Ellie) with his rock tenor voice. You were correct with DJ in the center. VP is so great about letting the feature artist shine. Then with the soft soulful voice is Cesar snd then Geoff, the butery bass, on the right. They are all so wonderful. I am always amazed how their voices can stand out and blend so well.
You can jazz jam on that guitar so smoothly. Quite a nice addition. ❤

[judithboulden]

I never noticed before that DJ sings "turn me on, " and the bvs sing "turn it on." Makes sense.
BTW I love your Beagles shirt. So cute.

Thank you for your great reaction. Very impressed with the spontaneous guitar work! I get a lot more out of the reactions in the format you used: play through first then the analysis. I have no training so I like the analysis. It helps me understand why I like some songs better than others.

This is my new favorite. Although the original was very popular, I just didn’t listen to a lot of pop music at the time so it wasn’t something I listened to much. This one I listen to … a lot.😊

Nice! Playing the chords on the guitar to illustrate makes it very clear to understand.

DeeJay is one of my favorite VoicePlay collaborators because he brings such a playful lightness with his voice and personality.
