  • In this video, I react for the first time to the British band Sleep Token's song “Ascensionism”. I analyze their amazing performance, explain and demonstrate Vessel's vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. This is an amazing tune and I am so glad I finally reacted to it!

    Hello, gorgeous! I'm Lolli, your Fairy Voice Mother. I am a voice teacher & vocal anatomy nerd specialising in contemporary techniques. I have a degree in vocal performance, and I am studying for a masters degree in voice pedagogy. I sing all the time in styles such as pop, jazz, rock, metal, soul, Hindustani, Carnatic and I am constantly learning and practicing new vocal skills. I just bloody love singing. It's my favourite thing in the whole world, and because I love you, I want you to sing too. I believe everyone can sing, and my mission with this channel is to break down techniques that are so often portrayed as something to be exclusively accessed by people with a special talent. Well. Special talents can be learnt, and I am here to teach them to you.

    As someone who literally just left a sleeptoken concert, I HIGHLY recommend finding a live performance from them because he legitimately sounds BETTER than the studio somehow and I have no idea how he does it. They also now have Vesselettes (a female vocal trio) who add so much to the already beautiful vocals. They compliment Vessel so beautifully and add so much more raw emotion and depth it’s genuinely insane. I cried so hard towards the end of this song especially because he also changes the sound of the end of the song by changing the notes completely. It’s heartbreaking and stunning and I highly highly recommend 🙌🙌

      I agree 100%. I typically don't enjoy live performances because a lot of singers can't really sing live. Vessel is the first vocalist I've seen where ai PREFER his live singing. There's something so raw and emotional and the man has got fucking pipes. I saw them at Red Rocks and it was damn near transcendent. Idk that I'll ever experience another concert like it in my life. His voice is able to crack something open. Its wild to experience.

    Oddly this was the last song I listened to last night and I see this pop up first thing this morning.
    This song here is brutally honest for me. “Eternal ascension, setting me free” ….. = wanting to leave this earth to escape the pain and hurt of the relationship…….. just rips me open. I struggle with this song, emotionally. It hits real hard.
    It follows with “ARE YOU REALLY OKAY” which I think is Vessel looking back in from the outside, asking himself that question after maybe attempting to take that very step we don’t talk about (“dripping crimson on the carpet……. please don’t hurt yourself again”)
    Was such a privilege seeing them twice in Sydney last weekend

      If you go back and listen to the that whole “you make me wish…” part again - the first time around he doesn’t add that half step drop. And the second time he does. I hope that helps.

    I’m still of the opinion that these songs are possibly not about a a different person, but about himself, and his relationship with a version of himself he has attempted to shed and leave behind in the past, but struggles to move on from and keeps falling back into their arms. For example if you just imagine him singing all of this into a mirror to himslef, it all still makes a lot of sense if not even more sense (especially songs like DYWTYLM, and Are You Really Okay?)

    I always loved playing the piano ( Not that I never really learned it right, or had training ) But remember buying a old big piano. Just amazing with clean tones, to create melodies.
    Hearing that beginning just make me want to play.. Sadly, at this moment I no longer have a piano. I need to get one again.

The reason I am requesting this is because I believe there is a ton to learn from how a detail oriented and very professional vocal goddess would choose to sing a song. Every choice you made in that song would provide a wealth of information for those of us who follow your channel to learn from.
    Hope to see it sometime :) Have a good day!
