He has moved into something that feels more like art, than “song”. It’s so layered. The new one he just dropped, the summit, is also.... just really different, and art.
I'm not sure Avi ever changed, this is just him that we never got to see i think. This is what comes from him when he's letting his emotions pour out. I love all his new music. You have to react to the Summit. Otherside is my meditation, and The Summit is my get my day going. love it too.
Yes, When you think that he wrote 60 songs in one year after he had a chance to decompress, I think it makes you realize what a serious composer and musician he is. He will be working on producing that music for years and is still writing more. It's astonishing to watch.
alma petry - and like most work by artists, a lot, even the majority will not be that great and it will never see the light. But 60 songs in two years or so, shows he was stifled as a musician. I like ptx, but they really focus on pop, more than anything. And clearly avi was ready for something deeper.
@@tanyanguyen3704 he was writing this kind of music, although not as advanced ,and performing it before he joined PTX. I saw him way back when singing his originals and playing the guitar and knew then that he really had something. I think it's something he can't help. I think he's one of those people who simply have to create and I hope with all my heart he has a happy life now.
Oh and Avi didn't change at all, I really think that the job he did on PTX was amazing, but he was holding all this talent just doing the bass on PTX songs, that's what I feel
I always love your reactions. Avi's genre is so unique and beautiful, his voice is so smooth, soulful and penetrating..his 3 new songs are so mesmerizing...this is my unwind and relax...Summit is my let's start the day and get going with a smile ...COTR is my overcome song, I can do it. QP4 is my everything will be ok....love all his music it reaches you and touches your soul.
I am so happy that you said Avi and his music are stand alone now. He's creating his own body of work and I am so happy when people start to realize that. I love you guys!! I'm always here for your reactions because they are so real.
This is one of the most beautiful songs where we get a glimpse into Avi's soul. It's not a song, it's an experience! I can't wait to buy his new album that comes out soon!
I always hear these amazing songs for the first time alone, and don't have anyone close by to clutch and celebrate with. You two are like the friends I wish I had to geek out with!
I don’t know what rock I’ve been living under, but my god i can’t thank you guys enough for introducing me to so many incredible artists. How can i have lived without music like this in my life!! I love you guys because you are the real deal, nothing fake, no gimmicks, just honesty, emotion and music in your souls. Thank you ❤️
I agree with you. While I miss him in PTX, I'm glad we get this. He seems more himself than he did in PTX. Like you said PTX is doing great with Matt. If Avi had never left, we'd have never gotten this wonderful music.
Okay! Now my watching your reaction comments. The background vocals are all him, just like “Change On the Rise” and I also love all the work he is doing now. He did a couple of side projects while in Pentatonix, but could never focus on it the way he does now. His centered creative genius brings me joy. He just released an audio only video a day or two ago. It is also amazing. I know it is your preference is to also have video for a full reaction experience. I believe it would be like the Pentatonix “Over the Rainbow” where the music is so amazing it is just fine without visuals
The texture he adds when he sings “side” is perfectly placed. His voice is really phenomenal. There’s nothing he can’t sing, no style he can’t perform. 💕
Damn, that intro was close to the mark, Fun though. I don't think he 'changed' necessarily. He always had this in him, but he had to concentrate on what PTX needed at the time.
Weeee. I just got out of work and was opening RUclips to watch something else, and dropped it to see your latest reaction. Avi and you two is a perfect afternoon
Thanks again for another great reaction, to an amazing and unique music video by the ever amazing Avi! It is a lovely song, and seems to be SO much about nature and Avi-- his total immersion into nature and at oneness with nature. Love this.
I am glad he has the freedom to create the music that is in him. I think it was so good for him to step out from behind Pentatonix. He was amazing with them and I miss the sound of his bass, but now we get to hear Avi in the lead and it is fantastic.
Wenn man als Hörer, nein Genießer dieser Liedes einfach nur die Augen schliessen kann, um es besser aufzunehmen, nein, selbst in den lyrics , Stimme und musik aufgeht und einfach in eine andere Welt transportiert wird... hier kann nur die Seele fühlen, kein Verstand analysieren. Das es hier nicht viel zu reden, sondern nur zu fühlen gibt, ist die beste Analyse, die ihr hättet machen können.
Sehe ich genauso. Es gibt halt "Musik"... und es gibt M U S I K. Beides hat seine Daseinsberechtigung. Die eine Sorte hört man nebenbei beim Staubwischen oder Autofahren, und man singt mit und genießt sie. Und die andere Variante ist für den Ohrensessel plus Kopfhörer oder als Einschlafritual nach einem mehr oder weniger gelungenen Alltag. Keine Frage, wozu Avis Songs gehören!
This song is so melancholy/deep/mesmerizing/haunting/sublime that it is almost hard to take. It is like experiencing something that is not even of this world. . .
As much as I love Pentatonix they were holding him back by no fault of their own . I agree that if him leaving Pentatonix was the price we had to pay it was worth it!
I’ve SOOO missed you guys! 😍 That looong pause after the video stopped... speaks Volumes! Yea... he sang ALL the parts. 🙌 Thought I almost saw you dozing off Marco😆. So relaxing! Now.... please react to “The Summit” 🙏💚 (Bri’s lune in Nashville vids... pick one... pick ALL! “I’ll get by”, “yellow bees”, “House of the rising sun!”)
Guys you're great at PTX and Avi's reactions, thanks so much for loving them so much, Avi is such talented!!!! Please react to the summit, only audio for the moment but it's worth it!
💥Just so you guys know Avi filmed this video in the Tennessee mountains near where he lives in his cabin...So these are real locations!!...If this is what Father Nature looks like ...I would LOVE to be his Mother nature!!😳👍
Great reaction! Sometimes your pure reactions, especially to someone like Avi, are more than enough for a reaction video. Please react to Home Free’s two new original songs “Dive Bar Saints” and “Remember This.”
Avi hasn't changed at all. This was always inside of Avi, but the nature of PTX meant he would never get a chance to get this incredible music out to the world. There were other factors involved of course, but this was one of the issues that led to his departure from the group. It was, indeed, the best thing that could have happened to all parties involved. I know that Avi & Kevin still remain very close friends and the other group members miss him intensely (probably one in particular), and he misses all of them, but it can no longer be denied that this was the right thing. PTX has moved on quite nicely with Matt, and now we have this new and incredible solo artist Avi Kaplan gifting the world with his incredible music.
I think rather than occasionally singing this sort of song with Pentatonix; Avia is now able to focus on his style of music where with Pentatonix most of his work was bass tones and the bass singing for the songs; which left little room for his own style of music.
Love your reactions. Avi does all the vocals. He seems to be making the music he was born to. You have to react to Pentatonix Shallow, also Brian Justin crum's version of Shallow, you'll love them. Till the next time :-)
Avi has a beautiful calming voice! I actually enjoyed this! Great reaction! Would love to see your reaction to Brian Justin Crum's cover of Shadow! Also Cristina Ramos on AGT The Champions, her high pitch vocals are insane!
I love the reaction when you all get lost in a video thats the best. Now the Summit each one is so much better and do not forget the 20 live performance out of Nashville they are all out there for review
The Summit Avi, Shallow, PTX, Remember This, Home Free and Dive Bar Saints, Home Free glorious week in music from my favorites. Kirsten is magnificent in Shallow.
As others have said, he didn't change - he came back to himself. If you haven't already, watch his Lovely Lady from back when he was in college. You'll see what I mean.
Amazing!!!! This is a real solo singer consolidation Good bye ptx hellow Mr Kapplan This soundtrack is so church performance LIKE your fashion dude..you look LIKE a priest
Marco, Marco, Marco. Why do you insist on covering your mouth when we know you are humming a bass line under your breath. So now I need to see your cover of this song. Ali, kudos on the priest jokes! Hilarious! This song is so serene. From Change on the Rise to Otherside to The Summit, Avi is telling a story and the progression is beautiful. He would never have been able to do this on a PTX schedule. I'm excited to see where the journey leads. Marco, I'm serious about the cover. Pick one of his songs and just do it!
Guys please react to Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel - 11 singers 8 countries, acapella coir. It's a beautiful song and it has a basso profundo in it, Eric Hollaway, you should really check it out
If he hadn't left Pentatonix, we wouldn't have been blessed to see this OTHERSIDE of him. I'll show myself out
Love Pentatonix but they were better with Avi. At the same time I love Avi's solo work a lot!
@VicodynNow,his CHAINS aren't weighing him down anymore.
He has moved into something that feels more like art, than “song”. It’s so layered.
The new one he just dropped, the summit, is also.... just really different, and art.
i dont like that u implied pentatonix isnt art.
@@hanlouise9256 nobody was implying that lmao. nobody said anything about ptx. ptx is art too. go outside
I'm not sure Avi ever changed, this is just him that we never got to see i think. This is what comes from him when he's letting his emotions pour out. I love all his new music. You have to react to the Summit. Otherside is my meditation, and The Summit is my get my day going. love it too.
Jamie Antonelle yes yes. And yes.

@@Lookinforrealmusic His music hits the soul it really does. I can feel him and his amazing energy in this music. he is truly talented.

Love watching Ali's smile get bigger and bigger as he listens to the magic that is Avi's voice.
He is discovering his sound and he feels really grounded now. It is awesome.

It's just Avi singing all the layers. The bass is there. It's so peaceful.
React to Avi's newest audio "the summit" it's so good!
Laura B YES!!! Audio only... but y’all are gonna Love it!
He has also released a new video "Aberdeen" you should react to both.
Love how blown away they were. Which was my experience listening to Otherside for the first time too. Just.... incredible.
I don’t know what rock I’ve been living under, but my god i can’t thank you guys enough for introducing me to so many incredible artists. How can i have lived without music like this in my life!! I love you guys because you are the real deal, nothing fake, no gimmicks, just honesty, emotion and music in your souls. Thank you ❤️
He didnt change, its that now he can express his inner soul and be free to sing it. It was always there and now we can hear it.
I agree with you. While I miss him in PTX, I'm glad we get this. He seems more himself than he did in PTX. Like you said PTX is doing great with Matt. If Avi had never left, we'd have never gotten this wonderful music.
All the voices were him. On The Summi, too, if you listen to it.
Meditation-Reflection. A man at peace with himself.
Okay! Now my watching your reaction comments. The background vocals are all him, just like “Change On the Rise” and I also love all the work he is doing now.

With that VOICE he has, the melody or the song do not need to overly complicated. It mesmerizes you completely anyway 😍
React to the Summit!
It's Avi's new song!
No video, just audio, but it is Avi so audio is fine.
The texture he adds when he sings “side” is perfectly placed. His voice is really phenomenal. There’s nothing he can’t sing, no style he can’t perform. 💕
Damn, that intro was close to the mark, Fun though. I don't think he 'changed' necessarily. He always had this in him, but he had to concentrate on what PTX needed at the time.
Yes, all vocals are him. Wait til you hear the tenor in his next song. You won't believe it

Guys you're great at PTX and Avi's reactions, thanks so much for loving them so much, Avi is such talented!!!! Please react to the summit, only audio for the moment but it's worth it!
This song touches me so deeply everytime I hear it. The word beautiful was made for this song ❤️❤️❤️
He takes me to a beautiful place of peace and comfort in my very difficult life. Lovely....
This is what you call a Soul Shaker.....wow....all hairs are standing up! Just think....if he hadn’t left ...we wouldn’t hear this masterpiece!
I absolutely love this . Avi is so talented and amazing.
Beautiful song, and beautiful reaction. His voice always puts me in a mellow mood, and the song is very thoughtful and unique.

Hello you two. Thank you for this reaction. Please react to ptx shallow❤
You should see his newest song called "The Summit". It's a Mitch and a half on the Pentatonix scale ;)

Loved the stunned silence! Great reaction guys!
Love your reaction. Excited to see you deal with this one.
Loved the reaction listen to the summit now completely different again
Love your reactions so much. Hope you do more Avi reactions has some new stuff really good. Hope to see it soon. Thanks for you honesty.

Love your reactions. Avi does all the vocals. He seems to be making the music he was born to. You have to react to Pentatonix Shallow, also Brian Justin crum's version of Shallow, you'll love them. Till the next time :-)
It's all Avi. Every beautiful layer!
Avi has a beautiful calming voice! I actually enjoyed this! Great reaction! Would love to see your reaction to Brian Justin Crum's cover of Shadow! Also Cristina Ramos on AGT The Champions, her high pitch vocals are insane!

Avi is so soulful💕
The Summit Avi, Shallow, PTX, Remember This, Home Free and Dive Bar Saints, Home Free glorious week in music from my favorites. Kirsten is magnificent in Shallow.
Please react to his newest song next, "The Summit".

Please react on Kodi Lee -America got talent! You'll be amazed!!! :)
Omg you have to react to shallow by pentatonix
Why did he leave Ptx? Can anyone envision him in a uniform dancing around a stage singing bubblegum?
No.....I tried to imagine it but....No
As others have said, he didn't change - he came back to himself. If you haven't already, watch his Lovely Lady from back when he was in college. You'll see what I mean.
Please react to pentatonix shallow, its amazing🤟🙌
Vay be buralarda Türk görmek sevindiriyor insanı :)
great reaction, I love the hell out of that song
Amazing!!!!
This is a real solo singer consolidation
Good bye ptx hellow Mr Kapplan
This soundtrack is so church performance

This has a very natury woodzy Zen, country blue grass feel to it. Which is a weird mix but its a good thing.
Kodi Lee on America's Got Talent Please!
He sings all the backup and works it into the recording.

Big loss for PTX, HUGE gain for us.
