It’s not the first time that acapella group Pentatonix has released a new music video that mesmerized everyone with their fantastic performance, and their latest video certainly isn’t an exception. The group, now consisting of four after bass singer Avi Kaplan left the group for personal reasons in May 2017, released their own version of “Dancing On My Own”, originally performed by Robyn.
Spoiler alert: it’s absolutely amazing.
“We just wanted to take a minute to thank you all for your ongoing love and support. It means the world to all of us! “Dancing On My Own” is one of our favorite songs (by Robyn who is one of our favorite artists) and we’re so very proud to share it with you. We hope you love it as much as we do and we’re excited to share new music (and more) with you very, very soon. We love you!” the group posted as a token of gratitude on their YouTube page.
It didn’t take long after the video was published before it went viral, and it even gathered more than a million views within 24 hours, which is a lot even for a popular group such as Pentatonix.
Their cover of “Dancing On My Own” is one of the first performances that the group has done without Avi Kaplan, and the team now consists of Mitch Grassi, Scott Hoying, Kirstin Maldonado and Kevin Olusola.
Avi wanted to spend more time with his friends and family, as the schedule of Pentatonix is quite busy with appearances, performances, and concerts all over the country.
Even though they’re only with four members now, their music still remains brilliant.
Kevin played the cello and even managed to throw in some beatboxing near the end of the song, while the others gave the best singing performance they could with incredible pure voices. The acapella voices coupled with the beautiful cello chords really is a surprisingly refreshing take on Robyn’s hit song. Former member Avi would normally be responsible for the bass sounds in their covers, but the cello proves to be a great substitute.
Their version of “Dancing On My Own” has already been made available on streaming and music platforms. Be sure to check out their fantastic video below, or take a look at some other great covers performed by Pentatonix such as “Hallelujah” and “Too Much Heaven”.
