Adele's resurgence on the internet occurred just one week ago with the dramatic and heartbreaking "Hello", her first output in three years. Her video has amassed nearly 135 million views in the last seven days, broken YouTube records, and has clearly struck a chord with the masses, and now, we get an amazing cover of it. New songwriter Stephen, the up-and-coming and heart-on-the-sleeve kind of guy people have been falling in love with recently, has also struck a chord with listeners with his emotional, raw material. His cover is the product of his fastest-ever turnaround on a project, creating a brand-new, rock-infused rendition (complete with a new arrangement) along with a clean visual accompaniment. The quick turnaround is impressive, but Stephen's sheer talent and ability to make things his own without alienating audiences or sacrificing quality is what most needs to be paid attention to. This cover is legit.
