    Billie recently said that she never took voice training/lessons and that over the last year or two she started to take voice lessons and that she loves it. She's learning how to use her instrument in different ways. I love it. She was already very good before lessons..excited to see what she brings to the table in the future.

    She's the first pop vocalist that has impressed me for decades.. This girl is Brilliant. This song is impeccable. Her entire new album is impeccable.!!!

    Very nice analysis. I think that this partnerhsip with her brother (the producer) is just refreshing. She's so original. Love it.

      what is more amazing is that she's learned a lot about vocal engineering and production, so she did a looootttt in this last record you know. more 50/50 than ever.

    I absolutely love this song. Billie done a fantastic job with this song.

  • @wonderbreadish49
    @wonderbreadish49 Місяць тому +34

    i think the sound you hear at the end is her voice modified and distorted to be used on a pad, so in a sense it's her voice used as an instrument

    Many thanks, Chris, great stuff! All I will say is you have to watch "The Greatest (live)" (either The Late Show or The Olympics Handover) and you will see next-level Billie. It is 10x the song and performance of "Birds..." imho. I was lucky enough to see her in NYC last week from the side of the stage and she was simply mesmerizing. Cheers!

    I love her whispery singing. She was the first that i can remember and suddenly there's a whole wave of young girls singing this way. She's so masterful. Heard her talking about how she is very intentional about when she sings out vs breathy. Love her!

    Wow! I would have missed so much of what she was doing if I had not watched this video.I have learned so much from you since I started following you and even more since I joined your coaching course. I'm hearing and singing music in ways that I'd never imagined before. You've turned me on to so many musical genres, styles, sounds and techniques as well as opened up a whole new world in loving my voice as a creative instrument. I can't thank you enough.

    It’s fascinating all the music producers online like you , are hearing and conveying how the writing and production and arrangement and performance of these songs are far above the norm and branching into the very special genius area. Like ABBA, when you break down the songs that seem simple are actually very very complicated and without her vocal layering would not work. … I am 58 and heard the best…and I am just discovering her and am very very excited at what I am hearing. They have mastered the pop song and hook hook… hook. Toe tapping and instantly unforgettable. I hope this album gets all the Grammies it deserves…oh she said she sings these end notes..the highest she ever sung. ….and watch Steven Colbert live versions…..wow ow ow w

  • @Craigy2818
    @Craigy2818 Місяць тому +8

    When she sings: "but if it's forever, it's even better", she sings it as if her heart is beating fast, catching little breaths, rapidly, and as if she's emotional and pouring out.

    Yep, use of synthesisers on an electronic keyboard, to make the “ohhh uh ooooo hoooo” sounds. Band members asleep while recording, so improvised instruments, a few strings, base, keys, effects, added recordings and manipulations. Any back up vocals and male sounding voices, added at a later time when other band members awoke to add contemporary percussion, as electronic drums were easier to use alone. Music and ideas on how to sing it live added later, with lyrics refined, as whispering to stop other people from being woken (so done at a very low volume).

    I started watching your stuff when I saw your video's about analyzing Michael Jackson's vocals, and you showed me thing in his voice and music I never even knew were there, and I have been a fan of him for years. The same's here for Billie. I absolutely adore her and her music, little things like the little silent "Stay" at the beginning of the track just felt fascinating to me. Thanks for showing us the true nature of vocalist and songs! You truly make some great video's, even if I don't sing myself. xD

    Great analysis! If you're looking to hear more vocal energy from her, then definitely check out "The Greatest" from this album, or "Happier Than Ever" from the album of the same title, or "No Time to Die" from the James Bond film of the same title. :)

      @13dma1rz 6 днів тому

      Finneas doesn't do any vocals on this song. Her isolated vocals from the album are floating around on UA-cam and it's all her. Finneas wasn't credited for this song on the album either. A couple other songs from the album that seem like they might be him are actually Billie's voice pitched down. That's according to an interview he did.

    Hey Chris I think i have a problem with my voice that im kind of concerned about. There’s a gap in my voice or something restraining me from entering and singing well in that space where it just breaks. I’ve also been trying to learn to scream properly but I just can’t get it and it doesn’t feel right and I don’t know what to do. Could you help with this?
