When sibling duo Clyde and Gracie Lawrence brought the house down with their soul power on an “acoustic-ish” version of their song “Whatcha Want,” their brilliantly quirky vibes scored them a viral hit. The pair delivered the studio sesh with the help of their soul-pop band Lawrence, and the completely unique and powerhouse performance had fans absolutely obsessed. The song starts with a 10-part vocal harmony, because of course it does, before Gracie steals the show with her lead vocal, wailing like Robert Plant.
Gracie is what we like to call a natural-born performer, and once she sets her gaze on the camera, you can’t take your eyes off as she tears the roof off the joint. Her infectious energy quickly spreads to the rest of the group, creating a hype energy that combines with the tight grooves to create a truly memorable performance. If you haven’t heard of these New York City upstarts yet, The Music Man humbly suggests you might wanna brighten your day with this absolute banger.
Lawrence dropped their “Whatcha Want” studio sesh on August 2, 2024, and it has since hit 1.6 million views, becoming one of their most popular YouTube videos. The eccentric performance caused a flurry below the video, with fans adding comments such as “The collective high they must experience doing this in one room together has got to be out of this world” and “I just discovered these guys yesterday. Now I’m obsessed! Why did I cry when she came back in after all their solos?! These guys have it!”
