Here's the thing about this song. Frank ocean sung it with such little effort and it sounded so amazing. Meaning he wasn't trying to go overboard with the singing. Every cover I've seen, ppl go overboard with the singing. Dont get me wrong, you're talented but I think more ppl should try to do it the way frank did it. Not saying it's going to sound like him but novacane is a unique song
Seriously, I don´t find the lyrics "attractive" for me, but I´m addicted on the way he perform it. And freakin love his voice. Can´t stop listening to it :)
I tried listening to the original of this song after hearing this one, like 1000 times. To be honest, i had to shut if off and listen to JRA within the first 30 seconds of it. Nothing compares to JRA's voice
I find it odd JRA's number one original song and highest viewed video talks about disney characters and love, and in most of the covers he does he uses explicit language. No matter how good your voice is, you can't say a cuss word beautifully.
JR, I've been following your career for quite awhile now. I also have a passion for music. You kill it on every song, original or cover. I can't listen to some of the original versions by the orginal artists anymore, you just put them to shame. Please, stay encouraged to keep doing what you love to do. I love your soul. God bless. And much love from Kansas City.
Diggin' your version, man! Novacane is a great tune and I respect that you left it explicit. Wise choice. This is a song that just shouldn't be censored, doing so would take away from it's meaning and impact.
This is like the 4th time I watch this video... I like frank ocean version but your covers are amazing... keep doing what your doing your already big on youtube its just a matter of time before you become internationally known
DUDE, when are we gonna get a new ace quality version of this song? I've had it in my winamp since I was a pesky teen and occasionally comes on and I'm like damn I wish I had better quality one.
how does this even have 151 dislikes?? dude is doing his thing oodd...keep doing your thing partner, just dont lose focus when you reach the top cuz thats where your headed
I think I'm officially an JRA fan now. I've heard his debut album and while it was pretty good, this song alone is better than anything on there. I REALLY hope he's puts this cover on his next album. :)
This is actually really good; I like the original better, but this comes real close! Different style from the original and it sounds nice, gotta give it to you man!
You Filipino guys can get it any day of the week. I swear, I've never heard of a Filipino that couldn't sing. You, Gabe, Passion. What's in the water there?!?!

2020 here. I thought this song was relatively new
Forever one of my favorite covers and one of the best musicians on UA-cam.
2021 here… I was reminded of this song and I remembered how much I LOVED this cover back in the day 🥲
That's my favorite frank ocean song, and you KILLED it!! Amazingly fantastic cover!
This always give me goosebumps when I hear it =) Keep it up man!
I put Frank Ocean and JRA songs together on a playlist, hit replay, then listen all dayy
I think this is by far one of the best songs I've heard yet
Still listening August 2019...

If u like franks version better go listen to that, covers are for people to use their style not try to mimic the original
omg the way he sing make my heart fluder expeclliie with the harmony at the ending of the song ugh omg great song !!
Easily my favourite JRA cover, but seriously this guy can do anything! Such an incredible singer, following this guy til the very end!
I really think you are talented. Sing at my wedding.
Oh my goodness this is great. Glad I checked it out.
I can listen to this song over and over again
Seriously, I don´t find the lyrics "attractive" for me, but I´m addicted on the way he perform it. And freakin love his voice. Can´t stop listening to it :)
forever favorite
2019 anyone ?
martin ristic 2020👌

Bro you need to be signed. With a voice like yours it wont be long before we start hearing you on the radio!
I love his voice he is hot
Oh Gawwddddd

2022; Still a Banger 🔥
amazing ♥♥
I honestly think this is better than the original
dude has become one of my favrite artist
by far, the best cover of this song.
he makes this song better tbfh
Might just be my earbuds but the guitar feedback is mad annoying it sounds like crinkling styrofoam
alldud13 You dumb as fuck Nigga. The "crinkling Styrofoam" is a Maraca.
One of the best covers ever!
best cover i've seen on UA-cam. congratulations man
5 years later and I still listen to this. Better than frank himself.
It's good but definitely not as good as frank
shimmy jimmy agreed
Don't EVER blaspheme Franky
Never play yourself
chris ramirez if he was better novacane would be HIS song, but it’s Frank’s
the best novacane cover on youtube, no doubt

This is best i ever heard anyone sing over a song dude you are great you have my respect
this is what you call beautiful music, foreal.
Diggin' your version, man! Novacane is a great tune and I respect that you left it explicit. Wise choice. This is a song that just shouldn't be censored, doing so would take away from it's meaning and impact.
thank you for not censoring songs that shouldnt be censored.

your voice is amazingggg like it can put a baby to sleep..so soft n smooth
Dude...You Totally Did Tour Thing With This 1!!!!! I absolutely loved it :-)
i have to say dis is the best cover on youtube
So I click on this thinking it wasn't gonna be that good-
but truthfully, this is better than the original.
GREAT JOB.
This is like the 4th time I watch this video... I like frank ocean version but your covers are amazing... keep doing what your doing your already big on youtube its just a matter of time before you become internationally known
They are both great in their own ways. There's no need to compare Frank to JRA just enjoy the music. Period(:
More videos like this JRA! The style is dope, it's got a real good vibe.
This quarantine szn just made me relisten to your old covers. And I still love this one! 💓
DUDE, when are we gonna get a new ace quality version of this song? I've had it in my winamp since I was a pesky teen and occasionally comes on and I'm like damn I wish I had better quality one.
Another banger bro why haven’t u blown up shoutout. From Fresno ca keep pushing !!!
You smooth out an already smooth song which I didn't think could be done. I like it :) good job.
I saw this for the first time months ago and I still remember it...really inspirin' right now
how does this even have 151 dislikes?? dude is doing his thing oodd...keep doing your thing partner, just dont lose focus when you reach the top cuz thats where your headed
Still listening and singing to this in 2021.

This guy is the is the reason I became a frank ocean fan.

Just listened to the original and JRA you take Frank Ocean out NO DOUBT!!! The guitar in this piece jst kills it
I think I'm officially an JRA fan now. I've heard his debut album and while it was pretty good, this song alone is better than anything on there. I REALLY hope he's puts this cover on his next album. :)
Wow. This is almost as good as the original. Great job man.
omg i love this song and youu make me want to listen to youu all day , best cover ever for this song
Omg. This is the definition of perfect!

As soon as I heard his voice, I subscribed.
I love your movements in this video plus I knew you before the voice I was so happy to see you on there Good luck!
Like this more than the original. J.R.A sounds makes you feel the music.
I rather listen to this one than the ordinary song good work my dude
I like this it's very calm and relaxed way better than the other one
You just won me as a subscriber. Great voice, great song, and good dude. Keep it up J.R.A.

This shit go bro no lie... heard through the speakers and had to tag it...hitting the playlist fosho from one artist to another
Had this version on repeat for a good month or so

I expect you to rise up in the game real quick, you sound great bro
Wow dude you need a record deal!!!! 2012 thumbs up!!!!
@JRAquinomusic you should do remixes like these more often. I love it and apparently everyone does too. :D
awww jra love all of ur covers

This is actually really good; I like the original better, but this comes real close! Different style from the original and it sounds nice, gotta give it to you man!
You Filipino guys can get it any day of the week. I swear, I've never heard of a Filipino that couldn't sing. You, Gabe, Passion. What's in the water there?!?!
