She’s a great singer and artist, but relax, some things are culture specific. Soul music and it’s style of singing is and always will be black, pioneered and owned by black people. It’s in the DNA. Notice how you thought she was black because you heard how she sang. She can just sing soul music. If she was singing Samba or Latin Pop or Bossa Nova well, you’d think she was Hispanic, but wouldn’t say she has so much Spanish in her or so much Latin pop in her when you discover she’s not. You’d say she can just sing that genre of music well. Having soul and singing soul are much different things.
She's excellent yes, but why does she have to compete with Adele? That's like saying that because another child is better at sport or academics than your kids that - that kid is better than yours! One have their place and god given talents and their equal place in the world.
Unfortunately I'm late to the party but when it comes to music it's better late than never. Her vocals are wonderful if I didn't know this I'd swear this being performed at a 1950's Harlem jazz club. You don't hear a peep out of the audience
I’m late as well! I’ve never sang nor memorized any song in my life! Just never interested me. However, this song I sing regularly as I just heard it about the same time as you! She is amazing!
It is. It's only this lady's voice at the very beginning of the song. Kim Burrell, a black gospel artist, is the voice that you hear singing throughout the rest of the song.
@ Yes, he sampled Hannah, but Kim Burrell is most definitely singing on the voiceovers, whether it is listed, or not. I saw her in an interview talking about it. And, Jay-Z has said it as well. So, no disappointment here. I’m sure a quick Google search will find that info for you. We all know that Hannah Williams is a white woman, and that she has a great voice, and that this is a great song. That’s obviously why Jay-Z chose to sample it, at the beginning, and end of his song. But, Kim Burrell is singing throughout the song. Have a nice day.
Yes. If I recall correctly, when proposing songs to use as samples for the album, the producer (no ID) proposed this song as a sample to essentially force jay-z to confront the topic of his unfaithfulness
Wally Alonzo Believe me, she got the best exposure she'll ever get. Jay Z sampled this song in his song 4:44, now nearly all Jay Z fans know about her. And Jay Z is a giant in the music industry, the guy has 36 grammys. I'm glad I found out who she is, I love her voice.
Robbed on the Voice tonight I switched off didn't even find out who won as clearly there was only 1 winner!! Tom said it right when he said how do I follow your amazing vocals. X
For the longest I been thought a black woman was singing this, you got soul lady
Same omg
Just found out today myself.
Same. And I thought it was a sample from the 60s.

@@leek58 ok relax
Her ability to be able to deliver similar vocals in the studio AND live is impeccable.
I just watched her journey on The Voice 2021 (UK 🇬🇧), and she's phenomenal!
AGREED!
She sang the hell out of this
indeed. i felt it.
Nah men that is heaven
She is way more soulful than Adele sorry and way more dope
I agree!!!can't stop listening 💯🎶🔥her voice is dope💋
Omg yessss, I am a proud new fan, could listen to her all day..
Mazeratti Grimm way more yes adele is just a pop singer
Who's comparing?! They are two different people 🙄
She's excellent yes, but why does she have to compete with Adele? That's like saying that because another child is better at sport or academics than your kids that - that kid is better than yours! One have their place and god given talents and their equal place in the world.
Wait why she is not famous?????
Thanks to Jay-Z and No I.D., she should be famous soon
Jay Z exposed her talent, she'll be very very famous soon.
Black soul
she ugly
Those royalties tho...
Impeccable vocals...Jay Z 4:44 brought me to this cut
Unfortunately I'm late to the party but when it comes to music it's better late than never. Her vocals are wonderful if I didn't know this I'd swear this being performed at a 1950's Harlem jazz club. You don't hear a peep out of the audience

the hairs on my neck raise every time. she's MAGNIFICENT!!!
I genuinely thought it was a black woman singing when I first heard it on Jay Z's 4:44, so soulful!
It is. It's only this lady's voice at the very beginning of the song. Kim Burrell, a black gospel artist, is the voice that you hear singing throughout the rest of the song.

@@MoniMon8thWonder it’s not lol, all of it is hannah
@@luniie5172 No. All of it is not. On this song, yes. On Jay Z’s song, no.
@@MoniMon8thWonder it is, what’s your proof
Thank you Jay-Z and No I.D. for putting me on to finding her, through that sampled loop
No I.D. da real goat 🙌🙌
why TF i’m I crying while listening to
this lady sing
sameee sis! especially when you can hear the crack in her voice @4:15 😩
3:48 Wow! The goosebumps
every single time...... so gooooooooooood. Truly amazing
Yes!!
#FACTS
This actually goes really well with the theme of Jay-Z’s song such a great sample
Yes. If I recall correctly, when proposing songs to use as samples for the album, the producer (no ID) proposed this song as a sample to essentially force jay-z to confront the topic of his unfaithfulness
THIS WOMAN IS AN EXCELLENT VOCALIST WE MUST PROTECT HER AT ALL COST. FUTURE GRAMMY WINNER FOR SURE!!!
This lady and her band have been on my playlist since 4:44 came out. What we should appreciate is how No ID found them.
She can really blow should should get more exposure
Wally Alonzo Believe me, she got the best exposure she'll ever get. Jay Z sampled this song in his song 4:44, now nearly all Jay Z fans know about her. And Jay Z is a giant in the music industry, the guy has 36 grammys. I'm glad I found out who she is, I love her voice.
3:55 Fantastic
LELE good lord it sounds better live.
She really brings this song to life with her great vocal
4:20 is exactly how I feel every time I listen to this song. Which is several times a day.
Just everything! And that jacket!
The amount of breath control, and control in general to be able to sing the higher octave through the second verse is just phenomenal.
She was touched by angles
where they obtus ?
BY THE GODS! LORD SHE GAVE ME CHILLS. SHE IS BLESSED.
SEVEN WILLIAMS ANYTHING THAT GIVES YOU CHILLS *HAS* TO BE BLESSED!!! OMG I’M CRYING!!!!
@@SA43 Nope they were probably right angles
@@shaanalam3872 bro that was 2 years ago 😂
shorty sang her life and soul and the hand of jesus
Blue-Eyed Jazz smoothed out on the R n B tip.
..with a hip hop appeal to it.
Amber Coleman shut the fuck up
@Amber Coleman I’m willing to bet that you’re not an artist. Non-creatives love saying shit like this.
Soulful and powerful!!! WOW
Her voice is absolutely incredible omg
Her voice is too massive for that stage she needs to be filling stadiums
the rasp in her voice at 4:15 is INCREDIBLEEEE SHE SANG THAT SHIT!!!
Robbed on the Voice tonight I switched off didn't even find out who won as clearly there was only 1 winner!! Tom said it right when he said how do I follow your amazing vocals. X
