Noah, an aspiring singer from South Carolina, has tackled LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It” and produced a unique cover that’s taking the Internet by storm.
“I’ve secretly wanted to cover this song for a really long time but never knew how I was going to arrange it,” Noah explains on camera before starting the song. “It’s a lot different from the original version of it.”
That’s an understatement.
The 18-year-old singer/songwriter managed to turn the club tune into a soulful melody that highlights both his voice and his talent. And — dare we say it — the cover just might be better than the original.
Noah posted the video to his YouTube channel on May 9, where it has since been viewed nearly 400,000 times.
In addition, the clip has received recognition from editors at Glamour and Ryan Seacrest, who shared the link on his Facebook page.
“Wow! This day just keeps getting better!” Noah wrote on his Facebook page after reading Seacrest’s comment.
In the past, Noah has covered a variety of songs, including “We Are Young” by Fun and “Love You Like A Love Song” by Selena Gomez, who incidentally has snagged a spot in the teen’s current profile picture.
