Before releasing her double Grammy-grabbing single “No One,” Alicia Keys explained that the song was about her decision to retreat from the obligations of stardom when she found out a loved one was in need of care. Backed by just his acoustic guitar, The Honorary Title’s Jarrod Gorbel recently recorded an emo-folkie cover of the song. Obviously recognizing the fine line between his painful R&B source material and emo, Gorbel goes all earnest on the track and amps up the original’s sore heart lyrics. What? You wanted another cover of “Umbrella”?
