Drake's Take Care album may have only been officially released less than a week ago, but Henderson Nguyen, a Torontonian virtuosic pianist, is already showing much love for the fellow Canadian by covering the song 'Crew Love' strictly with ivory keys.
Henderson Nguyen, more popularly known under the handle of Ed Hendy, has already released a string of piano instrumental covers of the aforementioned Drake as well as growing superstar The Weeknd, so when the two collaborated on an album release, it only made sense for Nguyen to put his own spin on the pair's efforts.
It's actually quite amazing that Henderson Nguyen was able to transcribe his own version of the song for the piano in such a short period of time, emulating the backing tracks as well as The Weeknd's signature falsetto melodies in this YouTube video.
