This OP looks pretty thorough, what's left to notewatch?

Also as someone new to her music, I was pretty wowed by her 6th octave+ notes. That C#7 in particular comes right the fuck out of nowhere lol.

[IhateMana]

I think there's literally an album and a half left tbh

yeah i kinda wish she did stuff like that C#7 more than just the once

[Henny Macc]

Super solid E♭3s here, though I'm not the most familiar with her voice, so they could be Hope Nicholls for all I know.


Some B3s here too if those are of any interest to you:
