I wasn’t even aware that I was ignorant to the modern king of pop until I recently stumbled across Buff Correll’s YouTube channel. There’s a lot to unpack about his videos; I’d even dare to say his work borders on performance art. His whole shtick is uploading music covers, all of which take place in his bedroom where you can clearly see a shirtless picture of himself on the wall. Every video description boasts the wise words of “LET’S GET IT” and the comment section is absurdly positive and kind. He also breaks out sick dance moves to go along with every song and never fails to warm up before each one with a really odd chant involving a lot of z’s. Buff Correll is clearly a man living his best life. Maybe most loveable of all is how I can’t understand a single word he says outside of his singing. “How is his singing?” you might ask yourself. Well, I wouldn’t want to spoil it for you, but he’s giving Bruno Mars a run for his money.
