Fresh off their world tour, Pentatonix strived to give PTX 3 a more global feel. Nowhere in the album is this desire more evident than in their cover of Stromae's Papaoutai. Entirely in French, I don't understand a single word of the song. However, the beat is insanely infectious and you will be hooked after just one listen, no matter what language(s) you speak. In fact, it is perhaps my favorite cover on the album.
This is a rare Pentatonix cover with instruments added. Beatboxer Kevin Olusola brings out his cello for Papaoutai, and "dubstep violinist" Lindsey Stirling joins the band with her unique violin sound. The strings add a unique sound to the song - the original has much more of a digital feel.
