    Moses plays with his voice and makes almost like.. sound texture. Does that make sense? It's fun! It reminds me of Bjork and how she plays with sounds

    thank you for reacting to and introducing me to Moses Sumney because listening to his music transported my mind to a whole other galaxy with how good it was. his voice, and the harmonies and instrumentals he uses, are on some other level of ethereal (in contrast, that kingdom hearts reference gave me whiplash).
    i also loved hearing the little vocal imperfections in some of his tracks! knowing that those bits of imperfection are what he wanted to keep in the final version really made me think about how you emphasize the importance of not sacrificing emotion for the sake of technical perfection, because those moments definitely wouldn't have been the same experience if he decided to re-do them to be technically "cleaner."
    also, i just really love colors for showcasing so many different artists, mainstream or otherwise, in a way that lets them just viiiiibe with their music, and this stage is no exception to that. it's so much fun watching an artist just be in their element like that.

    Babe if you want to wear earrings, wear earrings. There's a point where you realize like oh it's just confident. People wear stuff and it works. It doesn't work if you're anxious abt it, otherwise just find something you like and kill ittttt

    • @crosita1
      @crosita1 4 роки тому +15

      Second this--pulling it off is more about confidence than physical characteristics. I would dig it if you wore enormous hearts on your earlobes.

    Hey Sam, I loved this video. You're so genuine in your reactions and are able to articulate every thought of yours so well.
    I was trying to think about why this video and others might not have done so well right out of the gate. I think for your loyal followers, this is exactly what we want. You break down every little thing for us. However, for your more casual audience, I think this style of video might be overwhelming.
    Keep in mind I don't want you to change your videos at all. I am just trying to imagine why a video of this caliber would only have 16.5k views with over 600k subscribers. Best of luck with future videos!

  • @agnidas5816
    @agnidas5816 4 роки тому +30

    Yeah he is a baritone who can sing high... the colour is a baritone but the ability to push the chest forward is closer to a tenor. That is why he bares teeth at the high notes to get that nice timbre - I recognize as I have a very similar sound and it is hard to categorize. It doesn't matter much outside of opera/choir anyway :). I love pop music we get to explore our unique finger print !
    Learn so much in these videos...

    I'm pretty sure we don't even know what your earlobes look like! But between the Salt Lake City comment, the way you left the earring question just dangling out there, the fact that you didn't edit out your search for "counter tenor", and your overall vibe during this - it's probably my favorite of your videos so far (and you already have some great content).

    His voice sort of reminds me of Earth Wind and Fire's Philip Bailey's. Both sing sooo well, and they have this tendency to gorgeous falsettos. Philip may not show case it in the record versions, but should you to watch a live performance of 'Reasons' or 'Fantasy' live when he was young, you'd see he often had this 'duel' with a saxophone doing insanely high notes and falsettos.

    Hey man! It can be hard going out of your comfort zone and trying new things. Especially when said new things are on display to everyone else. If anyone judges you they have a shitty personality. People should wear whatever they want! We're only here for a short amount of time, you do you boo. I know saying this probably won't help because I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times. That being said, you could definitely rock earrings dude! As a matter of fact I think they would look good on you.

    I you to get acquainted with the work of an unusually talented young singer from Russia - DIANA ANKUDINOVA! I don't know what impression her singing will give you, but the fact that you will not remain indifferent is a fact! Let me recommend covers: "Derniere Danse", "Rechenka" (Rechenka, River), (Diana is 14 years old); "Wicked Game", "Human", "Blizzard" (Diana is 15 years old here). All songs were performed on the project "You are Super!" ("Ты Супер!") and scored millions of views on UA-cam!
