The vocals are what immediately draw people in and sell the song.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The people who are making money are the ones who are writing and singing their own songs.
If you listen to most songs, most people will not sing the words of the lead singer. They will sing the hook. The hook is what makes the record sell.
It is one of the most validating things for an artist like me, to have people sing along to your songs.
It's a particular skill, I think, doing backing vocals. You're blending the vocals between the gaps, between the music.
To sing a song is like whispering to a child's ear. It is an art heavily relying on improvisation.
Some people buy records just to dance to 'em. Some people buy records to listen to the radio. And there's people that buy records 'cause they listen to every song.
People are doing what they can these days and looking for creative ways to sell music.
For a young band about to make a record, make sure you get the vocals right.
They look for the top note to end every song. They don't know what they are singing about. There is no style.
I pay such close attention of the record making process that most people would assume are very little and wouldn't be that big of a deal; the packaging, the title, and the harmonies, I think, are arguably as important as the lead vocals.
