Stephen has the best voice for this genere. I love his tone. It sounds so effortless, yet if you listen carefully he uses so many 'effects' to enhance the emotional tone, portamento, vibrato, and delibrately goes out of tune for effect. So many singers rely on digital effects, like double tracking and other effects just to try to make their voice sound bearable to the listener (me too!) but his voice is pure by itslef. Oh to have a voice like this. If I could only emulate it. Of course, good music helps with amazingly powerful lyrics too. Every track on the album, is the best track on the album, that's some achievement.
There is such beautiful yearning and an ask for understanding to the one whom you adore. Such a sweet song and a full testament of love for another. Hope Babybird makes the FUJI ROCK 2016 bill. Incredibly intimate lyrics and music that makes you appreciate you all whom you love.
I've been getting into your dad's music today for the first time in over 20 years, all because a post randomly came up in my FB. I have realised that he is a genius that many of us have not appreciated properly since he was big back in the day. I have seen you commenting on quite a few videos now and just want to say it is very touching to see how proud you are of him. You're a good kid!
