I don’t know how to handle this Music question and need guidance.
Instructions:
1. Choose a song or piece of music that you are already familiar with, and that features a singer. Any style of music is fine, as long as it has one main singer (rap is also fine).
2. Review this Spotify playlist (Links to an external site.)and pick ONE track to use for this comparison exercise along with your song. If you prefer, you can also skip the first step above and use two songs from this list instead.
3. Listen carefully to both tracks several times, with special attention to the timbre of the voices. Write a response of roughly two paragraphs addressing these questions, and comparing the way vocal timbre is used in each song:
How would you describe the qualities of each vocalist’s sound? Does the vocal quality change over the track or is it consistent? How does each vocalist’s sound relate to the feeling or message of the song? How does it relate to the other sounds and timbres used in the song (instruments or electronics)? The point is to focus on the vocal timbre in each track, and think about what it has to do with your own experience of the song overall.
