Apple wrapped up its 2025 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) keynote in a cheeky, unusually whimsical fashion — at least by Apple standards. The closer? A man in translucent sunglasses (Liquid Glass, you might call them) singing actual App Store reviews while playing the piano. Yes, really.

You can catch the performance on the archived WWDC YouTube stream (around the 1:32:00 mark). It’s delightfully odd to hear someone croon things like the "clap hands" emoji or "six out of five stars" with full musical sincerity.

People seemed to enjoy Apple taking itself a bit less seriously.

The internet hasn’t quite figured out who the mystery performer is yet. But one thing’s certain: It was the most soulful rendition of App Store reviews we’ve heard in a long time. And maybe the most fun Apple’s had onstage in years.
