Who's up for a folk-inspired cover of a Drake single? These types of releases seem to be trending quite a bit in the past year, but there's not doubt that Ottawa's singer/songwriter Kalle Mattson has produced a truly remarkable transformation of "Hotline Bling." To be fair, I hadn't even heard the original before (and I'm pretty certain I never will), but there's something so intriguing about hip-hop lyricism being performed and adapted to a folk styling that is so delicate and profound as Kalle.  It will be interesting to see what this youngster comes up with next!
