Brandon Hines Soars With 'Pretty Wings'
It's been a minute since indie artist Brandon Hines graced us with one of his soulful covers. After tackling tracks by Estelle and Jazmine Sullivan, among others, this time Brandon regrouped after a self-imposed hiatus to take on Maxwell's "Pretty Wings." And um, the boy is bad. No, for real. His voice fits this song perfectly. Maxwell himself would have to give him major props if he listened to it. (And since we know Max reads SoulBounce, he might just check it out. Heh.) Do yourself a favor and click play below. You may just want to sign young Brandon after this "pretty" performance. Enjoy.

Very nice. I agree his voice is perfect for this song and he has just enough innocence and good looks to play it well. Good luck Mr. Hines.

I just recalled the girl that I have loved most in this world. just sang it the way I feel. I have heard this song many times and it never made me feel the way I just did right now. thank you. I owe you more than you will ever know

anon | August 26, 2009 6:34 PM | Permalinkdude is doing it. Erro dropped his name during the BTG so this was a great follow up. Good show!

You like to live dangerously, huh? Go head, girl! LOL
chynadoll | August 26, 2009 2:47 PM | PermalinkNice job. Great job actually. Dare I say I like his version a bit better than the album version. Don't hate me.
BTW, Maxwell, if you're reading this: Sorry I wasn't feeling this album fully. My inner stan still laid a week's worth of pay to score tickets when you're out here in LA in October :-)
