Her voice is highly annoying.

This is a lot more Nintendo sounding that I remember.

I can't recall, but did we go on and on about how she sticks to the same narrow (high) octave register all the time when we did the last album by her?

And this was when she could actually hit the high notes. yes

It's quite pleasant but I wish someone else was singing it.

by Nightjar Tue May 12, 2020 7:03 pm

Bonnie Raitt is a considerably better singer.

And she couldn't do it anymore, I'm not sure why she even tried. On this album it's obviously a stylistic choice as is the processing on the vocal.

Oh dear, that "whoo-hooo-ey-oooh" bit. cringe

Handclaps.

This is much better.

by Nightjar Tue May 12, 2020 7:05 pm

This is a little bit better.

They've taken the synthetic 'cell-smoothing' effect off her voice.

You can actually hear the organic timbre of her larynx.

Bit old fashioned.

Man.

This is like the voice-over from Eldorado crossed with Vincent Price on Thriller.

by Guest Tue May 12, 2020 7:07 pm

Bit of a rip off of Thriller's talking bit.

Didn't remember that bit.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue May 12, 2020 7:07 pm

She's gone high again. llama
