Vocal Blue Trains

Vocal Blue Trains present their unique version of the famous song "Hotline Bling" by Drake.

Vocal Blue Trains present their unique version of the famous single "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen.

The arrangement immediately takes on a more electronic sound, creating a dialogue between the instruments, voices of the soloists, and those of the choir - a defining feature of the project.

Right from the first bars, the choir intones the melody seeming to imitate the intense guitar licks of the already unforgettable version by Jeff Buckley. The Vocal Blue Trains are masters of Acappella - no instruments, just the magic of their voices.

"Cry me a river" is a cover of the famous Justin Timberlake song that anticipates Vocal Blue Trains' new album and represents a challenge in terms of sound; thanks to the "cut up" technique, the listener is transported inside a mosaic of rhythms and sounds neatly broken down.

The song is reinterpreted by mixing tones and cadences reminiscent of the world of trip hop and ambient house: electronic gospel and a touch of rap for a totally unprecedented version.

The video clip for "Cry me a river" features minimal atmospheres and choral music intertwining, and the unusual connotation of production quality is immediately apparent; a gospel choir sounding like an electronic indie band. In a setting with industrial traits with references to elegant geometry and a basic style there is a compact ensemble style but also of the individuality of the individual.

Vocal Blue Trains produced in 360°, 3D and 8D audio the a cappella version of their original arrangement of "Lonely Boy" by the Black Keys.

Vocal Blue Trains are known for their explosive and deeply moving live performances. Here is a brief recap from the live show at the Limonaia in Florence, Italy, July 2019.
