This incredible rendition by Kara Ciezki gives us an
ingenious mashup combination of heartbreak, using
strong emotive songs from Maroon 5, George Michael
& Wham! and Bruno Mars.
‘Harder to Breathe’ was the debut single of American
band Maroon 5 and was released in July 2002 as the
lead single from the band’s debut album ‘Songs About
Jane’. It tells the story about a former relationship
Adam Levine was involved in with a woman named
Jane, who according to Levine was also the muse for
the band’s album. It expresses a lot of tension as it was
‘written quickly under trying circumstances’ due to
pressure from their label needing another song quickly
for the debut album. It’s a strong song, with gritty
guitar riffs and powerful vocals about recovering from
heartbreak.
Layer this with the crushing lyrics and gorgeous melody
of ‘Careless Whisper,’ a song originally ironically about
a girl called Jane that George Michael had a crush on
that he eventually started seeing while dating another
girl. The whole idea of ‘Careless Whisper’ was the first
girl Jane not finding out about the second. It’s a song
about being a two-timer, feeling guilty about seeing
Jane, dancing with her for the last time knowing that
she knows, and then the relationship is finished.
The way the layers of vocals and harmonies move
around the melodies of these songs, combined with
that incredible saxophone solo and with the
interjections of featured vocals from ‘Locked out of
Heaven’ by Bruno Mars, and the build-up towards the
end, can only predict this mashup will be a favourite.
