If Elton hasn’t seen this someone needs to send it to him stat!

Now that's what I call a blessed voice 🔥🙌🏻

[Viril]

I really like the cinematography of these videos. The camerawork, the lighting, the color grading. To me they're as visually interesting as they are audibly.

[arendleejessurun]

The sitar guitar is such a great retro addition.
