Japanese singer-songwriter and musician Risa Kumon covers a fantastic Sam Cooke original here – Nothing Can Change This Love.
By Jane Howkins
Nothing Can Change This Love is actually my favourite Sam Cooke song, so I couldn’t help but share Risa’s version here. She’s really captured the spirit of the original song here, containing a great deal of passion and emotion within her voice. It’s quite a stripped-down track, featuring just a clean, electric guitar melody as the main instrumental backing, but the simplicity really works, making it sound even more beautiful. I think I may actually prefer this to the original, which is really saying something! This cover is a must listen!
