The two male vocal leads from Pentatonix, Mitch Grassi and Scott Hoying, produce a YouTube side project called Superfruit in which they crack wise on camera and deliver some pretty amazing songs.
A couple of weeks ago I linked to their performance of the Frozen soundtrack, with fellow Pentatonix member Kirstie Maldonado in support.
Their latest clip is even more impressive. They perform a medley of every track on Beyoncé’s surprise self-titled release, including the rap breaks.
Unlike their work with Pentatonix, this isn’t a capella. Hoying (the blonde) recorded a piano track to accompany their vocals. The arrangement is pretty brilliant, and I don’t know how they’re able to synch up so beautifully throughout one long take. I guess they’ve had a lot of practice.
Very impressive. I’m not even sure they needed the piano.
