bubinga5 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Im forced to listen Radio 1 at work. There is a lot of sh*te. Maybe I'm getting old , but there are some gems, I couldn't be any more bored of Adele. if i hear another Adele record at work I'm going to do something very bad to the radio.. if they don't play Jess Glynn 2000 times a day i don't mind. Her voice for me is fantastic. For my ears she has a way better mature powerful voice than Adele. I really don't like the way people make a video of someone singing quite a powerful lyrical part, but in the vid there mouth looks like they are just talking. ? apart from that what a voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ebfSItB0oM Quote
White Cloud Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Totally agree, I think Jess's voice is superb. Fantastic vibrato and control. Quote
Japhet Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Great voice. She's quite a character too. Quote
bubinga5 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 i also like this from Ellie. Nothing quite like the days of Susan Vega etc, but i do love a lot of the new music women like Ellie is coming out with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTTNWpag6fI Quote
crez5150 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I like her tone but not the amount of Vibrato she tends to stick on everything..... Quote
AndyTravis Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 We've put "Don't be so hard on yourself" in the set, and we've been doing the clean bandit tune with her singing for about a year. Both are enjoyable tunes and they go down well... Quote
Wonky2 Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Spot on bubinga.... Personally never heard of her and dont follow or listen to any chart musiac at all..... But seen he with her band on jools new yeras eve show. My attention was grabbed immedialty and dispite the trackes they did having no bass player, i ached to be there playing with them. A fantistic groove, top draw musicians too. Spent the next few days watching vids, listening to tracks..... I dont think ill be dashing out to buy any albums but it did completely have my full attention and git 10/10 on every aspect. Faith restored. Quote
wateroftyne Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 What's going on with that vibrato? Is the 'on' switch stuck? Quote
bubinga5 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Embrace her Vibrato. its her natural voice. Imo she has great power and control. everything i love about a great voice, That and tone. Is why i love Donny Hathawayso much. you like or you don't like that singing style i guess. i can hear what your saying, but tis a very small part of a great sum. would you complain if she was singing for your band.?

AustinArto Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 I think she just needs to turn the heating up, or put some clothes on maybe. Quote

bubinga5 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) no vibrato. Straight up beautiful voice and tone, her harmonies are just great . She reminds me of Karen Carpenter. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvYUfwMBCrU[/media] Edited January 31, 2016 by bubinga5 Quote

Skybone Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Must just be me then, I find Jess Glynn's vocals to be nasal & mumbled, apart from when she "opens up" for the chorus, when she gets "shouty". Adele's a bit better, at least she's not singing through her nose. Just my opinion of course, not that I'm any judge. Edited February 1, 2016 by Skybone Quote

PaulWarning Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 all these female singers remind me of X factor contestants, overproduced computerised blandness, where's the balls? or maybe all x factor wannabees sound like today's singers, or maybe all the best songs really have been written, or maybe I'm just too bloody old Quote
BrunoBass Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Jess played at the pub I live two doors down from, AKA in Banbury, about 18 months ago, just before she broke through. She was excellent. Her song Hold My Hand is pure pop gold I reckon. AKA also had The 1975 on just before they hit big too, I'm lucky to have such a bar right on my doorstep! Quote

I've always felt that excessive vibrato, whilst a sign of having mastered a specific technique and on that basis often taken as a sign of musical talent, simply covers up a lack of core tone. OK it's a widely used method for sure, and has real benefits in smoothing things over in choral singing and orchestral/ensemble playing, but I'll take a voice (or a fiddle or fretless bass) without vibrato over the same with vibrato any day.
