Shape of YouEd Sheeran12rank/position

Ed Sheeran – Shape of You (Official Music Video)

Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” became a massive hit worldwide and even won the Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance.

It’s a song that achieved tremendous commercial success.

As anyone who knows the track will be aware, there’s no high vocal part; it’s sung in a whispery style throughout.

The English can be a bit tricky, but otherwise there aren’t any particularly difficult aspects.

However, since the song sits mostly in a lower register, people who struggle with low notes might need some practice.

Well, if you just lower the key, no problem at all.

It’s a classic song with a memorable music video featuring the members of One Direction strolling around autumnal London in jackets.

When summer ends and the weather turns comfortable, why not take a walk in the park while listening to this track?

Wake Me UpAvicii14rank/position

Avicii – Wake Me Up (Official Lyric Video)

Avicii’s classic “Wake Me Up.” It might be the most popular hype song in the world.

The track’s driving, fast-paced melody is striking—and that very sense of momentum actually works to your advantage.

Here’s why: vocals get harder the more space there is between phrases, because you have less room to cover up imperfections.

In “Wake Me Up,” there are no long sustained notes in any of the vocal parts.

That means you can hide a lot.

Even if you deliver the lines almost like you’re tossing them off, it can surprisingly still sound good.

Give it a try!
