i recently discovered decapella through their holiday album and fell completely in love with
them if you are unaware of who they were like i was i feel completely ignorant they are an
acapella group they sing primarily disney songs and the whole holiday album was not disney but
they do have an album released in 2018 called decapella and there are a lot of songs on this
that are just incredible now oddly the ones that i thought liked the most i didn't really care for
that much and there were some surprises that i wasn't sure how i'd know if i'd like them or not
so that i just go through the songs i there are some that i don't really have any thoughts on
that i'm not that bothered about but there are some that i really really loved and some that i
was a little let down by so we start off with the tuna and the world is me familia and then we go
straight into friends like me which is a beautiful song and this is definitely a great way to start
the album with a full track it's a wonderful song that a lot of people love and it's gorgeous but
not as gorgeous as the next song the next song is how far i'll go of course from moana it's
stunning if i didn't know it was a cappella i wouldn't have guessed it was acapella the
harmonies are insane the solos are so beautiful it is stunning and i think it's got to be my favorite
song on this album it is ridiculously gorgeous unfortunately the next one let me down because i
feel like it detracts from the beauty of the first song this is a mashup of let it go and do you want
to build a snowman from frozen of course both great songs but frozen is hauntingly beautiful
and it begins with that song on its own and it is stunning it really is stunning but then do
you want to fill the snowman begins to trickle in and i just think it completely detracts from how
gorgeous let it go is and i just don't think it works it doesn't work at all for me um technically
it probably does i'm not musically minded i've never created a match up but it sounds you know
everything seems to flow well together none of the chords are particularly jarring everything works
really well but i feel like it removes some of the power of let it go and that's a shame i want to be
like you the monkey song obviously absolutely brilliant very lively great fun the same with
you will be in my heart not quite as lively but beautifully song absolutely stunning version
of a really great song then we have when she loved me and trashing the camp um when she loved me is
not a song i cared for i was indifferent towards but actually listening to on here
i've grown to really like it and might actually actively seek out listening to it not so much
for trashing the camp then we have another mashup part of your world and a whole new world obviously
little mermaid and aladdin quite interesting that they chose to mash two songs from two
different films i it works better than the frozen one because neither of those songs is particularly
breathtakingly hauntingly beautiful like let it go is it works quite well
not a pairing that i would have chosen personally but it's all right it's not the best i just
i just don't feel like the mashups ever work that well when the songs themselves are so
gorgeous of course there are exceptions and i can name some i won't because i don't want to
give a shout out to a different acapella group in this video but it can work for me personally
for me personally it works more when you transition from one song to the
next without stopping but when you're kind of intertwining them and weaving back and forth
it's not as good then we have well we have one song and then we have immortals and remember me
the last two songs wasn't really that bothered about nothing wrong with him
quite pleasing to listen to obviously vocally fantastic step in time is
unusual i saw the name on the album and thought is that step but of course it's stepping time for
mary poppins mary poppins is my favorite disney one of my top five favorite films of all time
the song is one of my favorites but when it started playing i actually questioned whether or
not it was the same step in time it just doesn't sound like it at all for a good few seconds and
then once it gets into it it's it's not the best it's definitely an interpretation of the song
rather than just an acapella version of the song which is fine it's interesting but unlike say
um how far i'll go it's not just a beautifully sung version of a very popular song it's a bit
more creative and that means it's a little bit more difficult to listen to because my brain's
wanting to listen to the either the film version or the stage version but this is this is not
giving me what my brain expects but it's not bad i genuinely adore this album there are some weak
links but the things that are really good are really really good they are the cappella are on
youtube which i don't understand how i've never come across their channel before but if you get
a chance to check them out i thoroughly recommend you do i think you'll absolutely adore them and
honestly how far i'll go is one that i will come back to time and time again it is beautiful
