Each day, the Bbox team trolls YouTube for the hot clip—sometimes it's a brand-new moment and sometimes it's a throwback to an oldie but goodie. No matter what praise hands are shot up, pearls are clutched and the repeat button is hit.
"Thank U, Next" by Ariana Grande (Storm Lever)
Ulterior Motives: With Ariana Grande's most recent single release of the true fall bop "Positions" we went on a spiral. We wanted to see which of Broadway's talents might have covered Ari's music. Thank goodness because we landed on this gem by Summer's Storm Lever when she participated in last summer's Broadway Sings series celebrating the pop star.
Ultimate 🙌 🙌 moment: This arrangement is awesome, kudos to Joshua Stephen Kartes for his musical direction. Storm sounds gorgeous! Our favorite moment that honestly made us stop and rewind IMMEDIATELY started at 1:52. Every lyric, every note, crystalline clear! We then get even more radio worthy vocals at 2:02 -2:25. This cover is gorge and we're so good with that!
