American musician reacts to KZ Tandingan singing Rolling in the Deep.

I’ve heard Adele’s original a hundred times, but this was my first time hearing KZ Tandingan’s version and wow. At first I almost shut the song off. The intro was horrid to me. I couldn't believe folks were cheering. But I was not ready for those switch ups. Her vocal control is crazy. The way she moves between rapper and "latin pop" start is wild.

I’m an American guitarist diving into Filipino music and culture through sound. Every time I do one of these reactions I learn something new, and this one really showed me don't judge a song by its intro.

In this video I talk about:

• Her vocal styles
• The live arrangement switch ups
• How she makes the song feel different from Adele’s version
• Why this performance screams personality

If you’re into OPM, live performances, or just watching someone discover Filipino music in real time, you’re in the right place.

Drop more Filipino artists I need to check out next.
