OMG!!! I have recommended this song to so many music reactors and you are the first to do it! This song and Chains are incredible. Thank you so much for doing it.
From what I’ve heard, this is all him. It’s very tribal to me. With the clapping, snapping fingers, layers of voice. Yea, it’s all him. I’ve heard also that this was filmed at his home and property.
Great reaction ❤❤❤❤❤ Avi is so dope!!!!! Please react to When I'm a Fool from his Sunset Sound session!!! So cool. Hugs from Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱❤️
A very talented singer songwriter - please listen to more of his work. It's not all this style but it's all superb! And he has a 5 octave vocal range so expect to hear him sing tenor and baritone as well as that sumptuous bass.
This was the first song that Avi released after he took a year out after leaving PTX. He'd had a battle with his mental health and this was his fight back song. The vocals are all him - he layers his own voice in a lot of his songs. Avi is in a much better place mentally now - hence the 'Floating on a Dream' LP. That's not his latest project btw - 4 of the songs from that album were reissued in the 'Live From Sunset Sound' EP. I strongly recommend 'When I'm a Fool' from that live album (the studio version is great but the live version is a stomping romp!) Avi is currently working on new music and he has hinted that he might be moving towards a more blues/rock sound. I can't wait! Great reaction - I'm glad you enjoyed this.
Glad you are reacting to Avi. He is just phenomenal! There are many other his songs worth of the reaction, such as When I'm a fool ( Sunset sound), All is well (7Layers), Floating on a Dream, Quater past four, Chains... Make your pick 🙂
I'm so glad you finally got to Avi's music! This was his first release after leaving PTX. Avi was declaring his "change" and getting his fire back for creating music. This was filmed at his cabin outside of Nashville in the middle of the forest. All the parts of this song are Avi, including the background vocals and bass. The only instrumentation is the tambourine and organ at the bridge. As far as suggestions, for something upbeat When I'm a Fool live at Sunset sound or for soothing peaceful Otherside. Cheers!
Great reaction! I second Quarter Past Four & First Place I Go. but you can’t go wrong with anything from him. Chains (official audio version) is DARK and BEAUTIFUL with loads of bass. Hope to see more Avi on your channel!
Dark is there, yes. This is basically him scratching and clawing his way out of personal darkness - holding through the night. I love Avi, and it is great to see you getting to him on UA-cam. "I'm Only Getting Started" is on the Floating on a Dream album, so you have heard one of his most recent songs. For yet another side of Avi, might I recommend "Quarter Past Four" from his Sage and Stone EP (as Avriel and the Sequoias, written and recorded at the tail end of his tenure with PTX). Most of Avi's stuff falls into the Folk/Americana genre, but he is currently working on more music and has hinted that it might have more of a rock/blues influence. Also, I think you would appreciate his cover of his own song "All is Well" for 7 Layers sessions. Just the man, his guitar, that voice, and amazing acoustics at a church in the Netherlands.
I really enjoy Avi's solo music that he does now. His voice really suits more the folk style. He was never really allowed to shine when he was with Pentatonix. And their music does not really suit his style. He is now doing the music he loves & it shows. He writes a lot of his own music. I really like his "Song For The Thankful".
Avi is currently working on new material ❤❤❤ I can't wait!!! Please check out When I'm a Fool from the Sunset Sound live version. It's absolutely amazing ❤❤❤❤
You’ve entered the world of Avi, Floating on a dream album is extremely good there’s not one bad track some tracks have three versions, someone put a comment Avi covers his own work, the sunset sound is very good 7 layers is good, enjoyed the reaction
This is his cabin he lives in , in the woods near Nashville. He is doing a lot or most of the back ground voices. His first release after PTX. About his feelings of survival through it all
Yeah Avi 😍 So glad I can see you react to Avi ! All you heard is him, except for the tambourin and the organ on the bridge ! He's genius and to know that all the bass and sounds, the choir in the background is him, it makes it even more special ! We love Avi and his last album Floating on a dream is FIRE !! You have to listen to it, really 😍 Hope to see you react to more Avi ! Thanks 😘
One of his very best songs, in my opinion, is "First Place I Go"!, because of its meaning. But this is unbeatable of his. AVI IS AWESOME. THANKS FOR DOIN THIS. IS LOVE TO SEE YOU DO FIRST PLACE I GO TOOOOO❤
I have never heard him before but he is fabulous ! it kind of sounds like something you would hear in the cotton fields in the south way back when . Lost sound no more :)
Avi is indeed fabulous! He has a lot of great songs to discover - not all like this. Some are sweetly melodic, others are more folky. He has a wide vocal range to go with them. Welcome to the Avi fan club!
Ok so you think you have heard All is Well 😉......well there are 3 versions of this song each one spectacular in it's own right. Avi likes to "cover" his own music so you will want to check out ALL versions of songs he has done. Anything the man has done is amazing you cannot go wrong no matter what you decide to listen to. Enjoy the ride I am definitely here for it!
I find this song very defiant. He’s feeling down, but he’s not about to stay down. It is very powerful. Avi was exhausted when he left Pentatonix and a lot of the older solo songs are kind of dark. In It Knows Me it sounds like he’s has been strugling with some inner demons and regrets something. Anyway, it seems he’s in a better place now. I’m interested in seeing the more rock Avi.
“Who is this Avi?” you ask. It’s the unleashed Avi. When it comes to genre, I like to call his unique style of music Avi-cana. I second all the suggestions for more music and am particurlarly fond of his masterpiece “Otherside”, “When I’m a fool” from the EP “Avi Kaplan live at Sunset Sound”, and “First place I go”. Subbed for more reactions to the wonder that is Avi Kaplan, he never disappoints.
Avi’s other songs are more folk music, which may not be everybody’s thing. This one is an ANTHEM. That heavy beat and the message just hits you square in the gut, no matter what kind of music you like. The fierceness of his voice gives you goosebumps every time. That growl burns you even if you barely hear it. This is iconic. That’s why it has so many views. Avi’s other work is brilliant, but this one is a masterpiece. Great reaction!
Just as an addition to what everyone has said, most of Avi's stuff does not sound like a village warrior song 😊 To me I'd classify most of his music as folk-y I think?
For something more "upbeat", check out "I Can't Lie", which has a sort of 70's vibe to it. This is a live version, one of the 4 songs in the Sunset Sound session. ua-cam.com/video/fiRsURVEqPw/v-deo.html
The vibe is the moment you find your spine: when your back’s against the wall and you’ve run out of options, and the only thing left to do is pick yourself up off the floor and just get on with it. It’s that look of grim determination - after you’ve finished grieving your lost options, lost loves, lost chances, and lost dreams - when all you have left is a difficult reality. If you’ve ever seen “We Were Soldiers,” imagine this song in that scene where Mel Gibson gives the order “Affix Bayonets,” because they’ve run out of bullets, but they aren’t giving up. You’re right about it being dark, but hopeful. It’s just, “I’m not done yet.”
I always associate this song with someone grappling to get out of depression. Maybe i read it that way because it inspires me to keep fighting mine. But i think it can mean many things to many people.
AVII IS PURE TALENT ❤
The First Place I Go is beautiful.
OMG!!! I have recommended this song to so many music reactors and you are the first to do it! This song and Chains are incredible. Thank you so much for doing it.
I love all of Avi’s music but Chains is one of my top 5. That bass!!! 😍🔥
One of my favourites from Avi. Aberdeen also. I think it's time for more Home Free 😊 x
Avi's voice, I read somewhere , goes so deep that he can break speakers. During his time in PTX, the song 'Aha' shows the range of his vocals.
From what I’ve heard, this is all him. It’s very tribal to me. With the clapping, snapping fingers, layers of voice. Yea, it’s all him. I’ve heard also that this was filmed at his home and property.
Great reaction ❤❤❤❤❤ Avi is so dope!!!!! Please react to When I'm a Fool from his Sunset Sound session!!! So cool. Hugs from Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱❤️
Never heard of him before. What a voice!
Check out more of his music you will be amazed! An incredible talent!
A very talented singer songwriter - please listen to more of his work. It's not all this style but it's all superb! And he has a 5 octave vocal range so expect to hear him sing tenor and baritone as well as that sumptuous bass.

A couple of my favorites are It knows me and Full moon.
I think I would call it more driven than dark, but that primal feeling is strong. Whatever you call it, it definitely calls to me. Love it.
I'm so glad you finally got to Avi's music! This was his first release after leaving PTX. Avi was declaring his "change" and getting his fire back for creating music.

...everything cocohol3513 just said -- I second it! Avi has become my favorite artist, so I will always be back for more!
All vocals, voices, both high and low growls are Avi.
He was the bass singer for the acapella group Pentatonix
This is my favorite Avi Kaplan solo!
Great reaction! I second Quarter Past Four & First Place I Go. but you can’t go wrong with anything from him. Chains (official audio version) is DARK and BEAUTIFUL with loads of bass. Hope to see more Avi on your channel!

Otherside by Avi is so good, Thank you for letting us see your reaction to Avi!!😁 AND Yes that is Avi with the Bass tones in the background.
This is his cabin he lives in , in the woods near Nashville. He is doing a lot or most of the back ground voices. His first release after PTX. About his feelings of survival through it all

Thank you for Avi reaction! He deserves it. I'm only getting started is a good one. B/w video is awesome. Quarter past four is beautiful.
It sounds haunting to me. Love Avi and everything he produces! Great reaction! "I'll Get By" is also very good! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love this song endlessly!!
Try his The Summit and Get Down singles. No video but both were released around the same time.
"Primal" I think is the word you're looking for.
Great voice, lyrics and music!! 👏🏻🎼enjoyed this!!🔥🔥
Finally!!
My favorite from him ❤
Avi 🔥🤘

Was so happy to hear this song on an episode of Resident Alien.
I will search for that..,thanks!
@@ivanalaff5346 I just started watching the show recently. I think it's episode 3 or 4.
Thanks for the intro

I'll Get By is one of my personal favs
I think I like the whole package.
Geat reaction. It Knows Me and The First Place I Go are 2 of my favorites by Avi. Would love to see you react to those.
Hubba hubba!

There are people who think they can sing. Avi CAN SING. No question about it, he's so I unbelievably fantastic.
Get Down is a great song
