The Cuban singer Hallel Génesis has left her followers astonished after posting on social media a video in which she performs in English nothing less than the iconic song “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys.
With an intimate atmosphere and accompanied only by a pianist in a recording studio, Hallel effortlessly delves into one of the classics of contemporary soul.
Dressed simply and sitting in front of the microphone, the artist exuded emotion and vocal control, while her companion on the keyboard maintained a sober and elegant harmony.
“They asked me to do something in English, so here it is”, the singer wrote in the description of the video shared on her Instagram account, where her followers quickly reacted with virtual applause and messages of praise for her and the pianist.
“How beautiful this turned out”; “She will be great”; “You closed the door, the windows, everything, how wonderful”; “Never stop singing, never hold back, your moment will come in God's time”; “This genre suits you perfectly, this type of song sounds amazing, and you sound beautiful in English, and the guy accompanying you on the piano, omg, so talented”; “Beautiful, let’s all support her, she doesn't need any man for the world to recognize that voice, it’s up to us Cubans to show the world that we have talents like this”; “I believe you will find your musical path, these songs suit you beautifully, let’s leave the vulgarity to those without a voice,” were some of the comments that flooded the post.
