This Bob Marley Cover Blew the Coaches Away on The Voice

This Bob Marley cover blew the Coaches away on The Voice The Blind Auditions. Andrés Iwasaki’s voice is so smooth and sweet, you can’t help but fall in love. Play the video to hear his incredible talent. 

Andrés absolutely shines on The Voice Blind Auditions. His cover of “Is This Love” is so soft and lovely. It’s one of those voices that swims around you and envelops you in its sound. 

Andrés expertly chose to cover the song in a way that’s well-suited to his voice. It actually doesn’t sound anything like Bob Marley’s original. Andrés completely makes it own with his own piano twist. 

“Is This Love” by Bob Marley 

“Is This Love” was written in 1978 by Bob for his album, Kaya. Some of its lyrics are: 

I wanna love you, I wanna love and treat, love and treat you right
I wanna love you every day and every night
We'll be together, yeah, with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter, yeah, oh-yeah, of my single bed

The song was written during a period of high political tension. Marley helped by bringing people together. His songs about love and unity, particularly this song, helped unite people and break down barriers. It wasn’t just a love song; it was a song about a human feeling we all feel, no matter what color we are or what our background is. 

Andrés' cover on The Voice Blind Auditions is a wonderful ode to Bob Marley. The young musician enhances the song, taking it in a more romantic direction while keeping Bob’s tender lyrics intact.

His performance feels very intimate and heartfelt. He has great vocal control and a unique singing quality. He draws you in from the very first note, and it’s easy to see why he impressed the four judges on the show.
