: Stripping away a massive wall of sound requires impeccable pitch and emotional execution, both of which Maynard delivers flawlessly. Maynard has built a massive platform on YouTube
Lewis Capaldi wrote the original track as a fast-paced pop track because he felt making a sad song slow was "too obvious." Maynard completely reverses this decision. Conor Maynard - Forget Me (Cover)
