They’re not full belts though because it’s falsetto- I get what you’re saying and I’m not debating her voice is still beautiful and whilst she’s always been airy in every register/there’s clearly a leaning to her upper register. you win some you lose some- her riffs are great 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Terrence Loves Me 72,426 Posted March 29, 2023 2 hours ago, CinnamonGay said: Imo her voice is at her best in OB. She's incorporating alot more technique and her voice is stronger than ever. Another Good example is You'll Never Walk alone or Summertime Gershwin version. She's reached perfection in terms of tone. It's more rounded and she has better projection compared to BTD-LFL era I feel as though she always used to use her voice in a characteristic way on her previous albums, kind of like she was playing a role. Most notably with her first 3 albums. Since Norman she seemed to have abandoned this more artistic style to her voice and started singing more casually, and more neautral. Which is fine but i liked her old dramatic style better, but that's just my personal opinion. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She doesn’t even sound classically trained I don’t want to be mean but her voice sounds just straight up bad on some songs on BB/ Ocean Blvd… it’s like she wants to sound more “delicate” now but that’s not even her natural register, she’s more of a mezzo and her voice doesn’t naturally go super high (which is why she can’t even sing off to the races live anymore rly lol) but she’s forcing it and that’s how we get those voice cracks and shrill notes in Arcadia… I don’t necessarily need her to go back to 2012-2015 even though I loved that sound, her voice actually sounded best on LFL-COTCC, and the vocal mixing/putting old songs where she uses her old vocals on BB def did not help her sound any better. 2 Quote ❀❀ ˖° ⋆.ೃ࿔ this is my idea of fun °⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mlittle11 12,145 Posted March 29, 2023 also i want to thank everyone for not getting aggressive n allowing a more negative discussion to take place. i love lana so dearly. ive been a fan since Paradise n would never actually hate on her or spread negativity about her. but its nice to talk about our different opinions 11 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The “screaming” vocals on Dealer sound great! And that’s because they are mixed well lol… Drew Erickson 100% improved on Ocean Blvd but Blue Banisters was an absolute mess… 2 Quote ❀❀ ˖° ⋆.ೃ࿔ this is my idea of fun °⋆.ೃ࿔*:・ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plastiscguy 63,141 Posted March 29, 2023 I'm too lazy to go 50 pages back, but was Old Money OG described as totally different or is my memory just shitty? Cause I swear I remember something about the og demo being very different... Anyways, I hope it leaks soon! It's one of my favorite songs of her 4 Quote My rose garden dreams set on fire by fiends...
