Female vocal songs where women with low voices can shine
In Japan, where a high voice is often considered “good,” the reason originally lies in the country’s agrarian roots.
To communicate by voice with farmers working at a distance, a higher, more intelligible pitch was more convenient; thus, in Japan and other agrarian Asian societies, people with higher voices have traditionally been preferred.
However, when it comes to singing, higher is not always better!
In fact, lower voices have overwhelming advantages in overtones and resonance.
So this time, we’ve picked out songs that bring out the maximum charm of women with lower voices!
Of course, we also selected them with karaoke appeal in mind, so if you’re a woman with a drinking party or group date coming up, this is a must-see.
Female vocal songs where low-voiced women can shine (1–10)
Caramel PainHoshimachi Suisei
Right now, one of the most active figures in the music scene is the VTuber Suisei Hoshimachi.
Her vocals are captivating, deftly switching between head voice and chest voice, and she’s also well known for her rich lower register.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is Caramel Pain.
It’s centered in the midrange, and when the chorus hits, the vocal line starts from a slightly lower section.
There are high notes too, but the structure is perfect for showcasing power in the low to mid range, so if you have a lower voice, definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Sketchaimyon
Popular singer-songwriter Aimyon.
For a while she had been releasing songs with complex structures, but now she’s put out a track that returns to her roots in folk.
That song is “Sketch.” It features a calm vocal line with little dynamic fluctuation, and the overall range is moderate.
Women with lower voices can add depth in the A and B sections, so focus on giving extra weight to the first notes of each phrase from the opening through the chorus.
MIRRORAdo
Ado’s song “MIRROR.” When you think of Ado, you probably picture intense shouts and advanced vocals that switch repeatedly between chest voice and falsetto.
In contrast, this track maintains a downbeat vibe throughout.
Not only in the verses and pre-chorus, but even in the chorus, low notes take the spotlight, and combined with its sultry musicality, it’s an excellent match for women with lower vocal ranges.
It’s a must-listen for women who want to showcase a sexy, low-register delivery!
BurningHitsuji Bungaku
Hitsujibungaku is a three-piece alternative rock band whose sophisticated musicality has earned high praise even from hardcore rock aficionados.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is Burning.
To be frank, it’s quite challenging because there’s a fair amount of falsetto, but the A section of this track sits very low.
From the B section onward, the energy ramps up dramatically, and the contrast between the downcast low register in the A section and the surge in the B section will make a low-voiced female vocal all the more compelling.
Server Downmurasaki ima
Singer-songwriter Shion, who gained immense popularity with “Masho no Onna A” (The Enchantress A).
It may have been hard to tell from that track, but she’s influenced by Black music, with a focus on R&B.
This new song is a full-on showcase of her style.
To be frank, the song is technically challenging, but the low-register parts—like the chorus and the A section—bring out the full allure of women with lower voices.
If you sing with as much overtone resonance as possible, I think you can project a level of sexiness that rivals the original!
rain checkyama
Yama is a female singer-songwriter with sophisticated musicality who enjoys overwhelming popularity among women in their teens and twenties.
While many people associate her with a high vocal tone, her lower register is equally captivating.
A great piece for savoring her lows is “rain check.” Although the chorus is mostly restrained mixed voice and falsetto, the A section focuses on the lower range, making the song a showcase for the contrast between low and high.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Butterflyiri
When you think of female singers with a low voice, many of you might first think of iri.
Among the many masterpiece tracks she has created, the one I especially recommend is Butterfly.
It has a slightly hip-hop flavor, featuring a consistently languid, rap-like vocal delivery throughout.
While the chorus reaches slightly higher notes, the song overall centers on the mid-to-low range, bringing out the appeal of women with low vocal tones.
