Some people talking about the same thing but ill say it anyways....

 

I just came to say that I hope a demo of this song leaks or at least an unmastered/unmixed version because the high-pass filter they put over her vocals are EAR WRENCHING. It's honestly the only reason why I don't listen to this song as often... very strange creative decision

can you explain what the high-pass filter sounds like/is doing to her voice in comparison to other songs? i never noticed a difference between her vocals on american compared to other songs off of paradise or born to die

High pass filters are used to get rid of muffled sounds & it's used on vocals a lot to make them sound more crisp, but on American in particular it's an OVERKILL.

High pass filters do make vocals sound more crisp but at the same time they enhance S sounds and kill vocals that go above a certain DB. To solve that problem you're supposed to put the vocals in an EQ and filter out the bad parts but with American it doesn't sound like they did that so it just hurts me ears...

 

 

Normal recording vs High Pass without EQ example:

You can also compare the way her S's sound on Cola vs American ... extreme difference
