From the moment he began, Sofronio drew the listener in, creating a sense of intimacy with the audience. The way he navigated the highs and lows of the melody showcased his impressive vocal range, but it was the emotional depth he brought to the performance that truly made it unforgettable. Every pause, every breath, seemed intentional, adding layers of meaning to the song’s poignant lyrics about loss, longing, and self-discovery.
By the end of the performance, Sofronio had not only honored Sara Bareilles’ original, but he had also infused it with his own unique style, making it his own. The audience could feel the vulnerability in his voice, and the way he connected to the song was undeniable. His cover of “She Used to Be Mine” was a beautiful reminder of how music can transform and evoke deep emotions, leaving an indelible mark on anyone who listens.
