Musician covers Adele’s ‘Hello’ in 25 different musical styles

There is certainly more than one way to say hello — and, apparently, 25 ways to sing it.

Musician Anthony Vincent, known for his YouTube channel “Ten Second Songs,” has released a new cover of Adele’s latest tearjerker “Hello” — transforming the ballad into a unique mashup of 25 different musical styles.

 

“With these projects and covers, singing comes secondary and actual production, instrumentation and weaving it all together, is my focus,” Vincent told the Daily News on Tuesday.

“Creating a cool medley with styles you would never hear together — that’s where my effort goes into more than anything," he said.

The 28-year-old, who hails from Port Chester, mimics the likes of Pink Floyd, Green Day and even Alice in Chains to deliver a quirky interpretation on Adele’s gut-wrenching song of love lost.

“‘Hello’ is one of those songs I knew was going to be a perfect fit for this format,” Vincent said.

“There’s a lot of different elements to it, it’s well written. Out of all the popular pop stars and everyone out there making music, (Adele’s) one of the few that has a lot of integrity,” he said.

Vincent — who grew up playing music — begins his 25 style cover with Alice in Chains, transforming Adele’s piano lament into an electrifying rock anthem, with a nearly spot on impersonation of the late Layne Staley’s signature crisp vocals.

The long haired rocker then channels Lionel Richie and follows by taking “Hello” to a hokier pace for the lyrics “I'm in California dreaming about who we used to be,” an opportune moment to parody group The Mamas and the Papas.

Vincent's impression of Green Day, Pink Floyd and his ultra cool sunglasses impersonation of “The Big O,” Roy Orbison are among the cover's standout moments.

The musician’s YouTube channel boasts over 1.5 million subscribers and his “Hello” cover has already been viewed nearly 400,000 times, a day after it was posted.

“Hello” is the first track released off Adele's third studio album “25,” which recently broke the record for the most U.S. album sales in one-week, according to Nielsen Music and reported by Billboard.com.

The album garnered 2.433 million U.S. sales a mere three days after it was released on Nov. 20.

The record of 2.416 million single week U.S. album sales was previously held by 'NSYNC's 2000 album “No Strings Attached.”
