iri – moon (Official Audio)

A track included on iri’s 6th album, “PRIVATE,” which was released in May 2023.

The song itself has a very calm, slightly languid atmosphere that is part of its appeal.

Although you won’t hear any piercing high-tone vocals throughout, it’s a piece where you can enjoy the contrast between the verses, which are centered around lower tones, and the chorus, which uses falsetto effectively.

It also serves as a good example of how to use mixed voice and falsetto effectively.
