To me, there’s nothing really impressive about the E♭5, and I think I won’t even count it because it’s technically off key

I do not know which key the song is in but I can definitely hear some G♯ and E♭chords being played, meaning E♭5 is definitely not off-key lol.
Sounds pretty damn strong to me, to be honest, I'd say the perfect amount of grit as well. Yeah, the sustained B♭4 afterwards does sound nice, however, I think the E♭is more likely the driving note here.

Also, there's a C♯5 in the exact same point in the studio version.

Mhhh yeah actually my apologies, I’ve always thought the studio note was a D5 and I hadn’t double checked since last year. So you’re right, the E flat isn’t off key :) And I’ll make it bold just for you, as I was wrong before haha

[1999]

I have to bring the G♯2 up again, to be honest, it does have a kind of doubler FX feeling on it.
Also as Baronessa pointed out, you can definitely tell the A2 from "Physical" sounds pretty weak, as if was the bottom of her range. That makes me pretty suspicious considering how strong that G♯2 sound.

[ama]

Honestly I still don’t think it’s pitched. She hits and sustains a pretty strong B♭2 in a yet to be released collaboration with FKA twigs, so it doesn’t really make me question the legitimacy of the G♯2. She only has one studio A2 that she hits at the very end of a phrase, so it’s not really the best note to compare the G♯2 to. She has an impressive ease with the second octave, but if I wasn’t the owner of the thread, I wouldn’t be mad if the note wasn’t included tbh.

Hey can anyone help me chose dua lipa's best low live vocals please?

I don’t really listen to her live performance too often, so I can’t help you much, but usually she’s amazing in acoustic performances

[Bink]

I think you could honestly mark those “Love Again” backing D5s as black tbh, especially the ones in the chorus

[felixx]

If you were wondering the F#5 in Levitating is real. You can definitely hear it when she says the chorus, you should hear it when the beat stops and she says I need you (it’ll sound more clear).

[sylvia!!]

so after looking at ian's breakdown of the actual recording of pretty please, i'm pretty sure that the G#2 is pitch shifted

A D5 belt, F5 & G5 Falsettos in new song 'Houdini'

[fountain30]

Oh I was surprised by those head voice notes in the new single. They're quite good.

[glo]

There is a B♭5 in the mix near the end!

[fountain30]

And yes - also not convinced by the G#2.

where?

[glo]

happens around 2:43!

[haeksk（ハクサク）]

There's a missing quotation mark on the For Julian D3 bold
Also I wish the bolds were linked for this thread

[luxiouskorsay]

C3 and i think some Bb2 in this version of Training season

[Zedd Squared]

Yeah that Bb2 sounds countable to me, though the C3 right before it does steal the show quality-wise. Good find!
