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 (11–20) where low-voiced women can shine

Riho Furui is a female singer-songwriter whose catchy R&B has earned her widespread popularity.

Known for her wide musical range—from girly, cute tracks to sleek, stylish ones—her song “Ienai wa” is especially focused on that stylish vibe.

The chorus may seem high, but the melody is actually sung as a single line split into a high part and a low part.

So women with lower voices might find it easier to follow and sing along with the lower line.

R&B singer LANA, who’s popular among gals and heads for her husky voice and realistic lyrics.

She commands a powerful presence in the hip-hop scene, and this time she’s teamed up with another overwhelmingly impactful female artist, Awich.

The result is Stronger (feat.

Awich).

While LANA’s higher range often stands out, this track highlights her midrange and growling low-end vocals.

Try adding edge voice at the ends of phrases like she does—it instantly boosts the vibe, so definitely give it a shot.

The work “Judgement?” features a collaboration between m-flo and chelmico’s Mamiko Suzuki, the hip-hop duo that’s all the rage right now.

Although Suzuki is known as a rapper, she’s also skilled as a vocalist and is popular for her languid, ennui-tinged singing.

That vocal style is very much present here, with relaxed, mid-to-low register vocals throughout.

VERBAL’s rap part also sits at a comfortable range for women with lower voices, so consider adding this track to your repertoire.

DesireDo As Infinity

Do As Infinity’s seventh single, released in January 2001.

The unit’s singer, Tomiko Van, has a robust, cool voice with a very appealing lower register.

In today’s music scene, where high-pitched songs dominate, this might be a style that’s rarely released as new material.

It’s a song I’d love to hear women who like rock and are strong in the low range sing.

The single falsetto line that appears around the highest note of the chorus—where the voice suddenly breathes out lightly—forms a striking and very effective contrast with her low, resonant vocal tone.

Myuk is the solo project of Miyu Kumagawa, who had been active as a singer-songwriter.

Myuk is known for having many distinctive songs, and among them, the one I especially recommend for women with lower voices is Sakura.

Its appeal lies in a melody that honors traditional Japanese aesthetics, and at times it features vocal techniques reminiscent of folk music.

While the overall range is fairly wide, the astonishingly low pitch of the A section will draw out the charm of singers with deeper voices.

This is singer-songwriter Ai Higuchi’s 10th digital-only single, released in January 2022.

It was reportedly written as the ending theme for the TV anime Attack on Titan The Final Season Part 2.

Higuchi, who performs the song, has a very compelling low voice, and you can fully enjoy its richness especially in the so-called A-melody sections.

However, the vocal melody has some quirky elements, and the chorus includes many parts that require singing high notes in falsetto, making it a somewhat advanced choice.

Still, it’s a song I’d love to see women with confident, low-register voices take on.

As mentioned, the vocal lines and the song’s structure include some challenging aspects, so be sure to study the original thoroughly before singing.

Fumina Hisamatsu’s fifth single, released in November 1992.

This may sound a bit colloquial, but Hisamatsu is a really cool singer with a solid, rock-like, powerful voice.

That said, it’s not a stereotypically masculine tone; it still works beautifully as a female vocal, which is wonderful.

In this song too, her voice and delivery mesh perfectly with the rock-arranged, highly pop-leaning melody.

It’s a track I’d love to see all the rock-loving ladies sing.
