Wow, it's so amazing to see the Hive music scene coming alive again with Vibes! Big shoutout to @lordbutterfly for getting this party started. I have a feeling this competition is going to take the creative energy here to the next level.
For the first week of Vibes, I decided to sing a cover of the iconic "Halo" by the one and only Queen Bey. I've loved this song for years and it holds a special place in my heart. The lyrics about being surrounded by unconditional love and devotion give me chills every time.
I sang over the original instrumental of "Halo" that I extracted using moises.ai. For the first time, I edited my own vocals on this track using Bandlab! I wanted my cover to sound as close to the original as possible, since Beyoncé's vocals are truly heavenly. I didn't even try to compete with her on that front. I just tried to channel the emotion she evokes as best I could.
Singing "Halo" makes me feel so lifted up and comforted. And the message of the song is so beautiful. When Beyoncé sings "hit me like a ray of sun", I can feel the warmth shining through. It's all about being saved by someone's unconditional love, like an angel watching over you.

I put my whole heart into this cover because that feeling of devotion is so special. Music has a way of transporting you right into the meaning of lyrics. I hope I was able to do justice to this stunning song!
Let me know what you think of my "Halo" cover! And whether you're a musician or just love music, please join Vibes. I'm so thrilled this community is making creative waves again thanks to @lordbutterfly's vision. Now let's celebrate Hive's awesome music talent! Who else is ready to share their musical gifts?
