5.0 out of 5 stars
Good remakes are rare
Avant made this song completely his own. "Sailing" is a beautiful song, but Christopher Cross' version is complete yacht rock. Avant feels more like sitting on a secluded beach with a glass of wine watching the sunset and enjoying the solitude. It is one of those rarest covers: one that's is BETTER than the original.

Remaking Cross
When it has came down to it, we honestly haven't seen many strong cover songs lately. Considering so many R&B acts have been just taking instead samples like Ciara with Never Ever sampling If You Don't Know Me By Now. So for Avant it might feel like a breath of fresh air covering a classic R&B twist on the classic light moods of the 80's classic hit Sailing by Christopher...

So for Avant it might feel like a breath of fresh air covering a classic R&B twist on the classic light moods of the 80's classic hit Sailing by Christopher Cross. Sadly, I really didn't feel the sense of comfort in the way Christopher had carried for so many years. It isn't as strong of a cover, as was the case with recent covers like Beyonce's remake of Etta James hit At Last. Still, I would've liked to have heard more sailing away from Avant. Hopefully, if Avant comes out with a better cover song, I'll get a better listen.
