Everything becomes my strength!kuzu
One of Kuzu’s signature songs and also a popular anthem.
To score high in karaoke, focus on powerful projection and a solid sense of rhythm, and make sure to let your emotions burst in the chorus.
The pre-chorus has a fast-paced rhythm, so while the lyrics matter, locking into the beat is the top priority.
Put a clear accent on the first beat and sing smoothly to fall into the groove.
Also, since the first sound of the chorus is “ki,” be careful not to pull your mouth too wide horizontally.
Create space inside your mouth and think of lightly humming as you let the sound out—you’ll be able to sing without straining!
