The three talented teen sisters in Hello Sister brought the 1962 classic “Pretty Little Baby” kicking and screaming into the rock era, and we’re here for it! The girls asked a simple question: What if “Pretty Little Baby” was written in the 2000s? The result was a riotous pop punk jam that sent the unsigned trio viral, drawing nearly a million views. The 1962 easy listening hit got a new lease on life when Hello Sister gave it a big dose of power, with more than a little nod to Olivia Rodrigo in the vocal harmonies.
And the best part? Watching how much joy comes off the sisters as they tear through the jam together. Grace, Gabriella, and Scarlett Mason bring such an infectious energy to the performance. The three-part harmonies also add a lot to the big sound that the trio delivers. The Music Man has to say there’s nothing quite like sibling harmony! You also have to give it up for the girls, then aged 17 to 19, for the ability to deliver a rumbling groove while singing those big vocal parts.
Hello Sister’s cover of “Pretty Little Baby” is the trio’s most popular video to date. Viewers dug the vibe and added comments such as “I love your style! It’s really different from what you usually see online. You’ve got something real that makes you shine” and “You girls continue to rock!! This one has a great late 1970s early 1980s Chicago/LA powerpop sound.”
“Pretty Little Baby” has become a sensation on TikTok recently, with the classic bop being used as the soundtrack to a number of wholesome videos on the site. This has led to a number of talented groups trying their hand at the song. One of the tastiest versions was by the young Filipino sibling band Missioned Souls. Given it’s a Filipino group, you know the harmonies are going to be fire, and the girls sure didn’t disappoint here. It’s also great to see the rockers in Missioned Souls try their hand at a new style.
