Among King Gnu’s works, the track “Sorrows” particularly emphasizes the bassline.

While King Gnu generally builds on a mixture style that incorporates various genres, this piece strongly showcases characteristics of alternative rock.

As a result, there are fewer complex vocal lines, making many parts comparatively easier to sing.

That said, it’s still a King Gnu song: the vocal lines are challenging in their simplicity, and there are many high-register phrases, so a certain amount of practice is necessary.

In particular, because the song features many long sustained notes, be sure to use diaphragmatic breathing so you can produce thick, sustained tones.
