ayumi hamasaki NEW SINGLE 23rd Monster Release 2021.04.08

[Ruan Borges]

This song is AMAZING, I'm super glad about its release, I was really expecting a key change at the last chorus of the song xD, but I'm happy that Ayu is chosing to sing in a way that is more confortable for her nowadays!

It's ok. But what's the problem with her voice ? I noticed this on haru yo koi and it bugged me but ... at times it sounds like she is singing with a potatoe in her mouth. I don't know how ti say this but it's weird and annoying.

I don't why she feels like altering her voice. Just let it come out naturally, girl.
Anyway, still listening to the song on repeat.

I think she's struggling with singing otherwise, she has been singing with a lot of muscle pressure for very long, if you don't counteract against that with correct vocal exercises it gets worse and worse. `
The less air passes through her vocal coach cords the more muscle pressure singers use, that also means the less sound comes out naturally and easily they struggle (sound waves are basically air waves) sooo... they have to force the sounds and they end up adding more and more muscle pressure as they go. She needs regular practice with a good coach at that time, I would say. She's doing quite well otherwise and if she fixes this part, I would need to be careful that I don't fly with the wind as she blows me away hahah *corny joke*.

I'm hoping very hard for her to get someone VERY GOOD to work with on a regular basis. (The quality of the coach determines the quality of the students vocals, she needs a pro, maybe someone like Seth Riggs e.g or some former personal (vocal coach) students from Cornelius Reid, he was a genius)

Could be. The body always changes, as you might now, vocals are always affected by the rest of the bodies condition and I wish I could say it was her voice going down only key-wise but I hear a lot more than that.

By the way, I love your profile pic Aisha!

I really like that you explained this! I honestly just thought that the quality of her voice over the last decade plus was due to the loss (and continuing?) of hearing, etc. I imagine that changes how one speaks but in this case sings. I have to say she's sounding, for the most part, really great these last couple releases and I forgot how much I miss Rock Ayu. Definitely got elements from My Story/RnRC eras and I'm loving it.
