I rarely like a remake. And it is even more rare that I like the remake better than the original. But this just might be one of those times. Amazing arrangement!
Congratulations Anthony, great performance, loved your voice, but I prefer the original from Level 42, it's just perfect. Thanks for the awesome cover!
Level 42 is my fav group & this is my fav song of ALL time - Anthony David did it GREAT justice! I REALLY enjoy his version of "Something About You" - WELL DONE!!
If the video channels would go back to MUSIC and not reality tv this guy could get some airtime which he deserves. This song works because it came from a great original.
One of my favorite recent remake finds. He kept true to the orginal but his voice added his own signature sound to it. Cant wait to hear him live, ONE MONTH FROM TODAY! YEAH.
THIS IS WHAT 'S BEEN MISSING IN BLACK MUSIC SOUL AND PASSION THE LYRICS ONE IS SINGING. Great cover from my childhood and this brotha is singing the way soul black singers used to sing without the bling, ghetto poustring and modern hip- hop theartics, Let's hope we hear from Anthony David in the future and less from Beyonce, Rhiana, T-Pain and the no- talent souless era of Black Music
this sux. good? hardly! why didnt he come up with his own song instead of buttfucking another. this sux! tired of niggers ripping off the white mans music!
both LEVEL 42 and Anthony David did a wonderful job on this song and it hapens to be my favorite liked it ,love it , keep it jam it LEVEL 42 4 EVER William Tulsa,OK
@hrtsfield as i said, i was and still am a big level 42 fan and i would love to hear all their songs covered by black american artists. being an 80's band i think they sound very mechanical at times and it would be great to hear a bit more soul and a bit more swing.
why would you go and mess up a song by Level 42 ?? can you come up with your own beat??? can't you create your own? is so easy to sample or copy! LAZY!!!!!
You know I have to agree with you. I love Anthony David, but he should have never touched this song. This is a song that just can't be redone. LEVEL 42 ROCKS!!!
Anthony Davis did a great job covering this song, but Level 42's version is hot as hell. their bass line along with all the instruments are so driving.
@phototristan john legend is my dude....he has impacted my life like no other...but you cant disrespect anthony david like...he rocked this song!!!...
I think i still like it with just him and his trusty axe. Not that this was bad, but if i hear a studio version, i wanna hear king slapping the crap out of that bass.
I don't understand this video...How is he picturing himself with other beautiful women and then saying it's something about you...Is he saying there's something about every woman, or just about the one he's with....I don't get it...I like the song, but the video is messing me up, anyone want to help me understand this?
The first version I heard of AD doing this song was the live acoustic version he did. This version is cool but I like his acoustic version better. And I've always loved the Level 42 version. That version always takes me back to a special time in my life like few songs do.
Is it me or does this song's melody sound exactly like Denice Williams "Free"... I've thought that since the first time I heard the original. But I love both versions, this one is a really nice homage to the Level 42 original.
Hmm.. Well, the melody to Free is slower and more sing songy than this, but there is a similar scale progression to the melody, so I do see the similarity between the two.
Both songs are masterpieces in their respective genres. :-)
Yeah. Level 42 had said that they had "Free" by Denice Williams in mind when the composed "Something About You." Both songs have that rising sequence in the chorus.
I love the original but I have no problems with this cover as well. AD has agreat voice and the groove on this is timeless so it should come as no surprise that this works.
This version of the song is so good and it is showing respect to the original performers (level 42). This version gives a more soul/jazz feel-very smooth. The original version is funk style, a bit more staccato. The original singer (Mark King) is a virtuoso bassist and his vioce sounds like Bill Withers.
This young man really feels this song here. He interprets the song with loyalty to its original form, just bringing out or putting emphasis on different elements than the funk version.
Very soulful. I give it a thumbs up. Tastefully done. Excellent pacing. I would have tightened up the strings during the bridges a little more and punched up the down beat adding a more jazzy feel.
I like this, but there is something missing..........oh yeah, it's NOT Level 42! LOL. You know it's tasteful and it highlights the great songwriting of the great L42, but it's a bit TOO slick for me and lacking in dynamics. Hey, at least L42's music is influencing people still today..damn right
