When you hear Seal’s classic 1990s track ‘Kiss From A Rose,’ you probably wouldn’t think it would work well as a metal track. But back in 2021, musicians Dan Vasc and Violet Orlandi proved us all wrong, releasing a dramatic metal-influenced cover of the track that even hardcore Seal fans are falling in love with.
The track is jaw-droppingly magical right from the start, with a slew of layered vocals from both performers opening the track, before giving way to Violet’s angelic singing voice performing the verse. The chorus hits in a wave of jagged metal guitars and powerful vocal harmonies, giving both Violet and Dan the opportunity to showcase their dazzling vocal talents.
Having racked up over five million views on YouTube to date, fans of Dan, Violet, and even Seal have commented on the video in order to show their support for the cover. In fact, thousands of comments have flooded in; one fan simply referred to Dan as a “legend,” whilst another donated fifty dollars and described the song as “a work of art wrapped in music.”
