[aritrp]

www.instagram.com/tv/B-NMSVVo0UE/?igshid=184cx0hnoh339 - 'Creep', with great A4 belts, some head voice notes and a B2! He also covered 'Natural Woman' recently (it's still avaliable on igtv) and he said he will do more acoustic home covers in near future

Nice cover. But what is that horrific video format? A video filmed in vertical mode, turned into horizontal, wide-screen mode and then uploaded as vertical again so 70% of the screen is black when it wasn't even necessary? Oh boy

['S]

Dw it's just a portrait video pillarboxed into 16:9. Go onto full-screen mode and it's fine

[Baronessa]

That Arial font face should probably go.

It's not a regular 16:9 video though. It's a 3:4 (or close to that) video (portrait mode/vertical video) that's then been turned into 16:9 with a common background filler. Then when it's shown in non-fullscreen mode which is closer to 3:4 (maybe even 2:3? I don't know aspect ratios by heart), they could have just kept the original aspect ratio and filled the entire screen.



Just a pointless rant about making videos unnecessarily harder to watch. But yes, in full screen, the fake 16:9 effect does its job.

[mole55]

Should we really count the B2? It's barely there.

I'd say it's perfectly fine and sounds connected, he just kinda hummed it. And it's in the original as well.

Ye just finished cleaning up the code for this one

[aritrp]

youtu.be/gYw7GsIPoQo
4:58 - head voice E5 (he did one on Woodstock too) followed by chest D5.

[mole55]

Real Love Song, lowest note in the verse is a D3, highest note in the pre-chorus is a falsetto D5, with full C5s on the second pre-chorus, and more full C5s in the final verse.

[jaredletoisbackagain]

He seems to have been quite busy during quarantine streaming a lot of covers, including this: youtu.be/8wX4KNMpLRo

[mole55]

Another new single, Unperson, there are a few full B4s in the backing vocals on "This is not what you think it is" a few more B4s in the second chorus, some questionable C5ish yelps in the verses, and some falsetto C#5s in the outro/bridge thing.

EDIT: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4y4KKdzJqBc

0:48 for an example of the questionable yelps, 0:55 for the backing B4s, 1:23 for the less impressive melody B4s, 2:31 for the falsetto C#5s.

[aritrp]

There are some chest C5s and head voice going up to F♯5 in '@tddybear'.

[aritrp]

New song 'Futureproof' with F♯3 and ton of belted C♯5s and B4s that I would consider boldworthy

[1999]

Love the new stuff tho :smiley:

[aritrp]

youtu.be/v8qB-TrFo70

Head-voice F♯5 at 1:52 and an absolutely insane C♯6 at 3:10 onwards.

was literally just about to post this, boldable imo

[aritrp]

new collab with rag'n'bone man has some nice lows in it

[1999]

Nice B2s!
Anyway, I'd count those F♯5 from the live version of Futureproof as well!

[1999]

I see Futureproof's video got blocked because of the BBC, however, I'm sure he's pretty much doing the same thing every show of the tour:

I was there

Fasletto D5 from Soda.
Short G5 (or is it just an illusion?), goes up to an A later on: Miracle, Baby

[mole55]

youtu.be/Tgb1GgpkX7s?t=196

[1999]

[aritrp]
