[Gilad]

Yo apparently he's got a solo album that we missed lol

[brookesquatchy]

im pretty sure theres a harmony on open your heart that gets down to A2 a few times. if theres a reason its not included im not aware of then i apologize im just curious about it

[BAZanine]

Oh hey yeah sorry for the late response but there's a pretty simple reason that that was omitted, being that I'm stupid.

EDIT: just notewatched One Voice and his solo singles. A couple notes (pun surprisingly not intended):

- Italic F♯2 acquired. Not particularly interesting but that's pretty significant for Johnny, I guess.
- Bolds: a D3 that isn't remarkably underwhelming and an A4 that, although not as batshit as his other bolds, is pretty solid for this stage of his career.
- Johnny, we know your low range isn't that bad. Stop making your low harmonies borderline inaudible. I want to hear your A2s.
- Johnny cracks the 5th octave only at the immediate end of the album, getting some cheeky C♯5s in before close. Good job, champ.
- "Song of Hope" has a falsetto G♯4. It also has black G♯4s, B♭4s, and a C5, but I just thought I'd point it out given how tremendously infrequently Johnny crosses the border into fake voice.
- "She Had Rainbow Eyes" hails from 2023 and has a D5. Actually surprised the shit out of me tbh. Good on you, Johnny.
- Musically, everything is kind of whatever. Johnny's obnoxiously powerful voice still reigns supreme but the songwriting is, well, surely there. "Hit Me Once, Hit Ya Twice" and "She Had Rainbow Eyes" were probably my favorites, the former having a catchy enough blues riff and the latter being carried by admittedly impressive vocals.

If you guys ask nicely maybe I'll check out the new-ish Hardline stuff at a later date. At the moment though, I have a headache.
