Aha! So it's Tuesday and for those who are into TTT, it's time to share our 3 picks for the week. And for me, today's spot is from Music Travel Love duo and identical twins, Bob and Clint Moffatt (former members of the Canadian pop-rock band, The Moffatts. The two are known for their catchy, lively beats and acoustic melodies. They do covers of popular songs by artists like Ed Sheeran and many others.
The story goes that they both love music and travel. In 2018, they decided to pursue that passion and started traveling with their recording gear and guitars. They shoot and perform live from beautiful and scenic locations around the world.
I fell in love with them after watching their cover of John Denver's Take Me Home, Country Roads and have since been watching their music videos. I hardly do any other thing while doing so because I'm glued to watching them and the gorgeous places being shown in their videos.
They currently have over 4.67 million subscribers on their YouTube channel and have millions of views on their music videos. They have quite a distinctive style that combines elements of pop, folk, and country music. They often choose songs with lyrics that easily connect with people. And without stretching further, let's get on with some of their exquisite songs.
Music Travel Love - Hold Onto Me
This is one of their original songs, their own composition. Accordingly, this song was inspired by their own experiences of missing their families while they were traveling. I think most people, especially those who are away from their loved ones can relate to this song.
Truth be told, I keep this song on repeat because it's simply beautiful. I like the beats and the message.
Music Love Travel - I Want It That Way
A wonderful collaboration with Francis Greg resulted in an amazing cover of Back Street Boy's hit song, giving it a fresh melody. BSB was one of my favorite boy bands and this rendition of their song is simply beautiful.
Information has it that Bob and Clint heard about Francis and watched his video performing "It Will Rain" by Bruno Mars and they were impressed so they reached out to him for a collaboration. That proved to be a beneficial partnership as they performed other covers like All Out Of Love, This I Promise You, and It Will Rain. They recently released their cover for BSB's I Want It That Way.
Music Travel Love - Stand By Me
I adore this fun and lively cover which they performed in Abu Dhabi with Arqam, Donia, Suzan, and Maya. This is another song that is put on repeat play because I just love it and why not, right?
The duo's musical prowess and distinct style in reinventing popular songs as well is astounding. Add to that, their versatility and ability to collaborate with other artists is admirable. Theirs is one of my most-watched music videos on YT. And by the way, they even have a channel for their music intended for kids - Music Travel Kids.
Yep! This is it for my participation in the TTT initiative by Ablaze. I hope you like them too. Have shared your picks as well?
