Ke-Mo Sah-BeeMrs. GREEN APPLE
The track “Ke-Mo Sah-Bee,” included on the 4th album Attitude.
The contrast between the hysteric guitar sound and the airy synths, set against an aggressive drum beat, creates a striking impact.
The chorus in particular features a high-velocity ensemble, yet the melody itself is relaxed, making it easier to sing than it might seem.
However, because the vocal range is wide and the melody is intricate, be sure to learn it thoroughly and adjust the key to suit your voice before singing.

This song, included on the 2019 album “boys,” is a poignant ballad that depicts an unfulfilled romance from a woman’s perspective.
With a range of just over one octave, it’s relatively narrow compared to their other tracks, and its gentle melody set to a slow tempo makes it easy to sing.
However, be mindful that there are high notes using falsetto in the latter half of the chorus and a few other spots.
Because the range is narrow, you can of course adjust the key; for men who struggle with higher registers, lowering the key slightly is recommended.
