Sam Robson is a man, a myth, a legend.
Oh, you don't know him, you say. Allow us to introduce you. Robson is an a capella genius who just so happened to multiply himself 50 times in order to bring to you what is most likely the best version of The Lion King's "Circle of Life" that you will ever hear. Yes, that includes the original. We dare you to disagree.
Using only his voice, body and percussion, Robson masterfully brings to you the childhood classic with the same passion you've come to know and love, but somehow makes it better.
"I'm really excited to bring you my latest project," he writes beneath his YouTube video. "As a kid I remember seeing the Lion King and being blown away by it, many years later I had the idea to arrange Circle of Life but bailed, due to it's challenging nature. However 5 years on from my previous idea I decided to give it one more push, and I'm really happy that I did."
We're so happy you did, too! The outcome is something to behold, as Robson uses 50 different versions of his voice, often all at the same time. His Broadway-worthy voice will ignite images of Simba, Mufasa and pretty much any happy memory of your youth and Disney.
"Finally I present to you my latest multitrack, with as many as 50 voices at one time I have realised my vision of how I wanted this to sound like and it's all thanks to the people that have supported me musically," he adds.
Like the original, Robson's version starts out fairly low key and ultimately culminates in an impassioned belting of the lyrics. Watch the video above to see him perform in all of his glory. Don't be surprised if you watch it on a loop just like we did while writing this post.
