At 1:41 I almost lost my mind. The way he controlled his voice at different times throughout the song. The times when he holds back when others would have been too dramatic makes me feel the love and pain he releases into the song. I see you. Bravo

I have his weird little tradition every morning, I go on RU-vid and hear a cover by who ever and go on about my morning getting breakfast ready and get ready for the day. But you, and with the first words that you sang and I layed back down closed my eyes and felt every word

Prince would be so proud of this rendition of his signature track! Wow well done blew it out the park! 👏👏

Lyrics I never meant to cause you any sorrow I never meant to cause you any pain I only wanted to one time to see you laughing I only wanted to see you Laughing in the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only wanted to see you Bathing in the purple rain I never wanted to be your weekend lover I only wanted to be some kind of friend Baby, I could never steal you from another It's such a shame our friendship had to end Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only wanted to see you Underneath the purple rain Honey, I know, I know I know times are changing It's time we all reach out For something new, that means you too You say you want a leader But you can't seem to make up your mind I think you better close it And let me guide you to the purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain Purple rain, purple rain I only want to see you I only wanted to see you Underneath the purple rain

His version slays. Prince will always reign, but Kwaye is a close second.

Literally have goosepumps, a wonderful tribute to Prince. Felt his connection to the song.

Prince and Kwaye have their own personal strengths. It shows in the different versions. I enjoyed both differently.

First time hearing this guy. Man when he started singing, I stopped everything I was doing. I am now going to obsess over Kwaye for the rest of this week. What an amazing voice!

No way! Served this beautiful human being at my Pret in Wimbledon a couple months and can't get enough of his music since. He's so sincere in person, really passionate about what he does. Keep it up mate! Come back anytime for a coffee on the house ;)

Damn!!! This was fire. Prince would be proud.

Jesus this was beautiful

Three winners here! First, Mahogany is my favorite type of wood color, second, Prince is my all time favorite artist, Third Purple Rain is my favorite song! So could KWAYE go wrong here? I doubt it! I feel ya KWAYE!

This is ridiculously sublime.

I'm already about to cry and I'm just at mmm mmm mmmm

God, how can 1 person sing this good. No tricks or spells, just pure vocals. 🥰😍🤩😘💝💖💗💓

Pure beauty in his voice that can make you cry... Or smile... Or cry first and then smile.

This feels like tiny kisses all over your body.

I could listen to an entire album of just this man and a guitar like this. Incredible.

I gotta say it: best cover ever.

One of the best covers of one of the best songs ever. My heart hurts every time i think about Prince 😢

I cannot stop listening to this since I found it. Prince was amazing and this is the best cover of his that I have heard. Your voice and the way you control it and sing this song is incredible. Thank you 🙏

Yooooo. I'm not trying to be funny here, I say this in all seriousness... if someone had just SEEN me hearing this for the first time, and not been able to HEAR what I was listening to, they would have called 911 thinking I was either having a seizure or insane. This took me on a TRIP. You have just inspired me so much. I've got those good goosebumps. Thank you. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Amazing!!! Great cover of this Prince song. His music isn't easy to serve justice but this is fantastic.
