I See YouMIKA

MIKA – I See You (CD Version)

Included on the second album, The Boy Who Knew Too Much.

MIKA’s distinctive falsetto and an orchestral sound led by piano roll in waves.

While it’s grounded in what you might call a classic pop ballad, it’s a curious track that, if you keep it on repeat, makes you feel as if you’ve been thrown into the surging swells of a rough sea.

ListenBeyoncé

Beyonce – Listen [Official Video]

This is a song used in the movie Dreamgirls, passionately performed by Beyoncé herself in the film.

The piece begins with both piano accompaniment and vocals, showcasing Beyoncé’s powerful voice to the fullest.

I think it could also serve as good practice for boosting vocal projection.
