{Description}
Hannes Norivde is the lead vocalist/keyboardist of retro styled synthpop act Lust For Youth. Vocally, he's is a standard untrained synthpop/post punk baritone with a deadpan delivery and semi-nasal, heavy tone, though songs like “Adrift” and “Better Looking Brother” feature him emoting somewhat more (though even when he’s shouting in songs like “O.S.K.” and “Ecstacy” it sounds more like just loud talking). His pre-International vocals mostly consisted of semi-melodic rambling or repetition of phrases obscured by the low volume at which his vocals were mixed. Once Lust For Youth reached International, his vocals became more audible and tuneful. Norrvide doesn’t really show off when he performs: he just sings his parts plainly and clearly in his vocal comfort zone. He’s shown some evolution as a singer across his albums, having more prominent and dynamic vocal parts as well as displaying more of his competent sounding lower register (songs such as "Great Concerns" and “By No Means” show potential in that area of his voice). While their albums contain many songs that are either instrumentals or sung/spoken by guests vocalists, their latest record (excluding one song) gave a bigger focus to Norrvide's voice, further proving that he's grown more comfortable as a singer.

Yeah, being totally honest, I just wanted to make a thread for possibly the least range-y singer I could find. Still, if you like synthpop/new wave, check Lust For Youth out, they're pretty good imo

{Bolded Notes}
E4 "Chasing The Light" live at Los Angeles 2012
D4 "After Touch"

C♯3 "Venus de Milo"

[Deleted]

Wow. And I thought that Ian Curtis had no range...

[rob]

How a person sings lead on that many albums and shows off such little range is beyond me.

[Bes]

The 2nd smallest range for a singer with a full thread on TRP folks (It used to be number 1 but then SailorBlue had to make a thread for John Hinckley and dethrone Hannes)

[Bes]

Not judging but you know you could try hitting those notes more often in the studio

[Macca]

Now we just have to find an A2 then he will have the exact same range as Ian Curtis.
