Bolo Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I play the bass and the mic, bass guitar and vocals? I am the bass player and the vocalist. Singer is a solo artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Day was that we had backing singers providing backing vocals , hey dude can you sing , we need some harmonies ? sorry dude I only do backing vocalisations ..😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yank Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Maybe it has to do with the context of the sentence. Here's some examples where one would be used over the other. "Who did you get as a singer in your new band?" , "I play bass and do background vocals", "Alright lads, we've got the instrument tracks recorded, let's put down the vocals." Man, the new singer in my band is a flaming *$@^&*(_*!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikel Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Who cares? Look on credits of most albums and if it lists it, it will say "Vocalist" not singer or singist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridgehouse Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Welcome to he English language. Vocalist has a Latin/old French origin, whereas Singer is Germanic. Both correct. Vocalist has some traction as a singing descriptor in French music, including plainsong. But as voca is voice rather than speech it’s often used in French and Latin for sung word rather than spoken word. You say potato and I say no ta. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurksalot Posted July 15, 2018 Author Share Posted July 15, 2018 Well I think that the discussion has ultimately gleaned that the person doing the singing is the singer , but then I knew that all along ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad3353 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 In our band, I play drums and the singer/vocalist plays percussion (claves, cowbell...) and vocalises the trombone solo for 'Beds are burning'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
