And although some critics believe that the release of the Interlude coverings album (2014) is an alarming bell, meaning that the artist does not have his own new material worthy of being presented to the public, we adore his charming covers for the songs "Everlasting Love", "Don 't Let Me Be Misunderstood "and the song" Don't Stop The Music "by Rihanna.
