Knowing Lana & Taylor all too well I basically expected a 20:23 long version with waves crashing or seagulls screeching somewhere along the way or wind at the beginning or a blizzard blowing at the end to make it different and also with a new poem from Lana in the middle about skating on thin ice and then one from Taylor about her cats playing in the snow 

The way I SCREAMED at this 

I like that Lana went lower with her voice and kind of slurred the very Taylor lyrics to make it more her own. Love the humming too.

Yeah, it's okay. Definitely so much better than the original one though ofc. (Of which I am so damn tired of lol.)

 

It's cute and Lana sounds really good! But not that much reply value for me, I fear. Or maybe it'll grow on me 

[ShadesOfViolence 6,662]

the way lana sings "like snow like snow oh yeah" in the end is like she is really tired of the song and wants it to be over lol

I’m glad she used her lower voice, but it’s clear why she doesn’t sing in chest voice anymore. I hate to admit it but it’s giving smoker’s voice. She’s carefully weaving through the notes, so it doesn’t crack that’s what it sounds like to me. I wonder that’s why they changed the melody. This is worrying.

Candy Necklace giving you the ultimate side eye. Love her lower register on that song. Wildflower Wildfire... Kintsugi... she still channels her chest voice all the time. And she does it well

Karma feat ice spice just doesn’t sound right to 

me 

 

but I love Lana’s verse and her and Taylor actually sound really great together. 

[jaesana 3,605]

Ice Spice's sounded so discombobulated and forced

Yes. Even the title track of OB/sweet/A&W.

 

Hell she uses so much of her chest voice in OB. Even margaret chorus, the grants.

 

Xenoblade just has to complain about something everyday.

The new crisp arrangement is good even tho I’m still kinda attached to the old one but I have a feeling she will grow and I’ll love it! The girls got what they deserved from the beginning

I forgot about that. She sings in chest voice for like 10 seconds then mumbles and the rest of the song is just head voice again. Literally just

White fire, cinnamon on my teeth
And I'm sittin' at the stoplight northern town
I feel lucky

I drive some…mumbling head voice

 

The rest of the song is in head voice . Kintsugi is all head voice.

 

It’s very evident something is going on with her voice. We’ll find out soon with her doing a tour. I’m curious to how she’s going to sing her older songs.

[Deadly Nightshade 12,851]

i like this version much more

OB is not chest voice at all. Its mixed head voice. The production is doing something to make it sound like chest when it’s not really. It’s like a golf ball in her mouth in that song. It’s not chest voice.

 

In fact, I would like that song much better had she sang in chest voice. The whole song makes me uncomfortable because she’s singing right in the middle between chest and head. The back up singers are singing in chest voice.

 

The same thing on The Grants. 

[Psychedelic Pussy 30,108]

I’m not here for xenoblade constantly only having negative things to say (as usual)

But I agree that she needs to use her chest voice more. That’s the one thing I typically hate about her more recent work, her head voice just does not do it for me yall. Chest voice brings the drama, the magic, the oomph.

Why is it that the perfection of Lana, her essence, always seems way more apparent in her collaborative work like soundtracks and, sometimes, features? 
Her vocals, her adlibs, here give me so much of Season of the Witch and the humming from Is This Happiness, and the backing vocal doubling "so dishonest; And it's fine" at 1:44, the tone of her voice there, it just kills me, because it just sounds like something that I remember falling in love with, it sounds like the purest form of her to me. I think I do prefer the original production in terms of specifically the instrumental, but other than that, an already vocally beautiful song just became that much better. I think it's probably one of the more intricately arranged ones vocally. 

On a sidenote, I think the vocal arrangement on this one and Season of the Witch is done in a similar style, so I thought it would be interesting if she ended up using that as a direction for her new record... Wouldnt hold my breath for it though.

I liked the original version, but was bummed Lana didn't really had her moment to shine (even though she did stand out with her harmonies) 

This version, however... I love! I love her humming, and I love how her voice sounds

[White Dress 6,901]

Can we as a society collectively stop pretending Ice Spice is talented like she has absolutely nothing to offer I just don’t get it…

 

So glad the ❄️ song got the treatment it deserves!

Chest voice? Lana barely used it in 2012 let alone now- I’d have to agree with xeno here slightly- it’s usually some form of falsetto or head voice she sings in now
