TONES AND I – DANCE MONKEY (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Tones and I’s hit song “DANCE MONKEY,” which was a massive success in 2019.

You might wonder, “Can anyone really sing such an eccentric song?” Don’t worry.

While the melody is certainly unusual, it actually doesn’t require as many vocal techniques as you might think.

Techniques like vibrato or the kind of embellishment called “fake” in Japan (similar to a bluesy turn) don’t even appear.

The only truly challenging part is sustaining the voice.

If you don’t sing boldly, it can end up sounding sloppy, so be careful.
