Coheed and Cambria’s Claudio Sanchez Covers Adele’s “Hello”

Say, have you heard that new Adele song “Hello?” That one that’s sold like billions of albums and is on the radio in every store/mall/cab/public place imaginable? No? Do you live in a cave? I gotta hand it Adele; she’s hella talented. I really enjoyed her 2011 album 21, and now I’m getting into the new one — 25 — too.

As with any ubiquitous pop anthem, covers of “Hello” by amateurs and famous artists alike are now flooding the Internet. But none have struck me as deeply as this one by Coheed & Cambria’s Claudio Sanchez which appeared on Conan’s Team Coco website yesterday. Claudio’s got an incredible voice — we knew that already — but with just an acoustic guitar in what very well could be his bedroom, all shot in one take… wow, he’s on point! That falsetto, my goodness.
