Fitzswiftie Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Come across this tweet on the tl and every nearly every quote/reply seems to list James Arthur as patient zero of what I can only described as "baby wailing back of the throat scream singing". Given how many tepid ballads from men have arisen in the last decade imitating his singing style (Calum Scott, Lewis Capaldi, Khalid, Giveon, Tom Grennan, Benson Boone, Teddy Swims, even established acts like Morgan Wallen, Harry Styles, and Shawn Mendes who started singing in this style later in their careers at least once) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator MissedTheTrain Posted July 16 ATRL Moderator Share Posted July 16 I've definitely noticed a trend. It's annoying from some people (guy in the video in the OP is overdoing it to the extreme and heavily autotuned ) but I've always really liked James' voice.

glitch Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 No, this homophobe was copying others that came before him. The Fray's song "How to save a life", which he performed while on the X-Factor, uses a very similar vocal style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenager Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 (edited) The amount of melodyne in that original video anyways, I was about to laugh and say no but now that you mention it, a lot of people seem to emulate that singing style Edited July 16 by teenager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Duff Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 James Arthur's vocals are insane. Might not be your cup of tea, but he's one of the most gifted vocalists out there. His range is insane. And he puts out outstanding shows. When he rocks, he really rocks it out on stage. I don't know if he's the most influential, but his style has influenced a lot. There's definitely a lot more in the 2000s and prior to it that has influenced the male singers today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAg Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 ew as a singer myself I HATE this kind of voice it's giving my ex boyfriend's voice teas tbh, why can't more people just sing naturally, how they talk more? like if you listen to my songs, that's how my speaking voice sounds too if that makes sense. I'm very expressive and I have a standard ass american accent lol. i don't embellish in the "ooeeoeeue" way so many men singers do when they sing words like "use" or "youuuu" lmao. just don't try so damn hard to sound unlike your natural self?

JoeAg Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 listen to this song of mine from 2018 for example: this is how i talk too honey. I'm not putting anything awn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yakult Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Cannot stand his voice. Plus he's the epitome of the faux-authenticity trend that took over the UK music scene in the 10s. Zero artistry. If ever you needed an artist to use as an example that there is little correlation between streams and legacy, there it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
