Listen: Sebastian Kole - Hello (Adele Cover)

Words: Saam Das

Adele dropped the first taste of her '25' album yesterday, in the form of soaring ballad, 'Hello'. Understandably, the covers have already begun. They'll undoubtedly be a mixed bag, but we're glad to say that Sebastian Kole's melodic effort is up there with Adele's track - and we might even cheekily suggest that it supercedes the original.

Surfacing: Sebastian Kole [New Artist]

Words: Saam Das

American soul artist Sebastian Kole made a minor splash across the pond in 2012 (as co-writer on Jennifer Lopez hit 'Goin' In' under his Coleridge Tillman penname) but has popped up again lately as writer of the currently-blowing-up 'Here' by Alessia Cara. Taking advantage of the success that track has had, Kole's had a selection of his latest material pop up, which stands out in its own regard. Listen to those tracks, along with 'Here', below.
