The Voice's Maelyn Jarmon Hit Angelic High Notes Singing Kendrick Lamar’s “LOVE"
The Season 16 winner of The Voice showed off her incredible vocal range in Kendrick Lamar's R&B hit.
When Maelyn Jarmon first sang "Fields of Gold" by Sting during her Blind Audition, many predicted she'd bring home a win for John Legend on his first season as a Coach on The Voice. And that's exactly what she did after scoring a 4-Chair Turn. Throughout her time on Season 16, the Texas native wowed as she performed stunning cover after cover of hits like Coldplay's "The Scientist" and Maggie Rogers' "Fallingwater."
"I just love her work ethic, her attention to detail," Legend told E! News after Jarmon was crowned winner of The Voice Season 16 in 2019. "She goes into every song with an actual strategy and a plan for how to execute a song, and she has the wherewithal to be able to actually do it."

While Jarmon might be best known singing folk, indie, or pop songs, she's also dabbled in other genres over the years. Such as when she put a beautiful spin on Kendrick Lamar's popular track "LOVE."

The same year Jarmon won The Voice Season 16, she recorded a beautiful cover of "LOVE" by Kendrick Lamar featuring Zacari. The love song featured on the rapper's 2017 album DAMN skyrocketed to the top of the R&B charts when it was first released. Two years later, Jarmon put a folksy, ethereal spin on the hit song, hitting impossibly high notes throughout the entire cover.
Jarmon's vocal range is evident throughout the song, but especially in the chorus as she sings the lyrics: "Give me a run for my money / There is nobody, no one to outrun me / So give me a run for my money / Sippin' bubbly, feelin' lovely, livin' lovely / Just love me / I wanna be with you, ayy."
Jarmon's fans couldn't get enough of her cover and begged for more. "Her voice is like what listening to angels would sound like!" one wrote on YouTube, while another added, "This is one of the best covers I’ve ever heard. Have listened to this sooooo many times already."
