Known by his screen name Conkorah, Nicholas Anson Murray has recorded a reggae version of Ed Sheeran's "Thinkin' Out Loud." Sounding like Bob Marley singing blue-eyed soul, Conkorah has gained attention online for the reggae cover.
Conkarah is a reggae acoustic artist from Kingston, Jamaica.
More than two months after it was published on YouTube on Nov. 8, 2014, Conkorah's "Thinkin' Out Loud" reggae version was viewed more than 1.3 million times. Also on harmony featured in the video are Matthew Leiba and Almando Douglas, who is also on guitar.
Currently, "Thinkin' Out Loud" is at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 list. At number one is Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" featuring Bruno Mars followed by Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" at number two and "Take Me To Church" by Hozier at number three.
Meanwhile, Sheeran's new song premiered on TBS on the final season of "Cougar Town," which stars "Friends" alum Courtney Cox. Sheeran had tweeted to his fans in the Unites States that his "brand new never before heard song" would debut on the show.
Cox also took to Twitter to promote yet untitled track writing, "So excited for you all to hear the new song from my pal @edsheeran tonight."
From the snippet of the song premiered on "Cougar Town," Sheeran sings, "And we will drive until these tires wear out. And we will write all our memories down. And we will cry until this fire is drowned. Well, darling, I, I will keep you warm. Well, darling, I, I will take you home."
