Walking the WireImagine Dragons

Imagine Dragons – Walking The Wire (Audio)

As for high male vocals, delicate, airy tones and shouts are fairly common, but a thick, crystal-clear male voice like Imagine Dragons’ might be a bit rare.

This track lets you fully enjoy that distinctive singing voice.

The rock-pop style melody is easy to get into, and I recommend it.

Empre State Of MindJay Z feat Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys – Empire State of Mind (Live from iTunes Festival, London, 2012)

It’s a song that the king of hip-hop, JAY-Z, arranged from Alicia Keys’s classic “Empire State of Mind,” turning it into a massive hit.

He preserves everything great about the original while fully showcasing his own hip-hop—and that arranging skill is truly impressive.

A richly compelling track with real depth.
