With all the singliparity in place, Cody Simpson gets nostalgic, letting loose about the mixtape with snippets of ‘Daisies’ on YouTube before the official launch, intoxicating everyone with that sweet-melting-from-the-soul-set velvet voice: Cody standing before a piano, rapturously singing the opening lines.

Prior to his debut release, Simpson began building weight with his mixtape ‘Angels & Gentlemen,’ covers of songs that he loved. immediately, he puts that very format back into play with ‘Volume II,’ which will feature another batch of reimagined songs that talk about his progression as an creator. Just from the teaser, comparisons were already drawing to his previous work, as one boasted the vibe reminded him of ‘New Problems.’
The following were Kaitlyn’s fans’ responses. Within moments, the comment box became filled with exuberance at the few seconds clip, with two initially mistaking his voice for that of Justin Bieber. One even lamented maybe they’d listen more to Simpson’s version than the original, while another nostalgia-stricken one quipped that she actually had a Cody Simpson doll about ten years ago and seriously wonders how far we’ve come.
The old-time journey Simpson’s fans began with him follows his Danish pathway from being a teen pop preselling experience into a matured soul creator. Turning an ordinary cover into a very special one for himself has been his greatest strength, and judging by this snippet, one could be certain that “Volume II” shall be the same.
While some were pleading for a collaboration with Justin, given their history and closeness musically, others were more particular with requests for a cover of Taylor Swift’s ‘Champagne Problems.’ Whether that will make it onto the mainstream debut is a mystery, but it’d assuredly be a blast to this mixtape rebirth for those who have been following him since day one.
With the release tomorrow of the entire mixtape, a very alert and anticipative audience has gathered, if that little snippet for ‘Daisies’ is any indication. It has been wondrous while growing fuller with time. In choosing songs that make his voice outshine all others, it is sure that this album would sit side by side with the best.
