Leo Ieiri – Silly

Singer-songwriter Leo Ieiri.

Among her songs, the one I’d recommend to people who aren’t confident in their singing is “Silly.” That’s because, even though many of her songs—ballads included—often have intense sections, this track maintains a gentle, calm atmosphere throughout.

One distinctive feature, however, is her breathy articulation.

If you want to really master this song, try to be mindful of that.

Especially in the chorus, using this vocal approach will make it sound better.
