bow knotNEW!Aimer
When it comes to modern ballad queens, many people probably think of Aimer.
She’s known for her husky voice, but her vocal production is actually quite unique: unlike most vocalists, she sings using chest breathing.
Generally, chest breathing tends to produce less airflow during phonation, but in her case it’s the opposite.
As a result, even replicating a standard long tone becomes significantly more difficult when trying to sing like her.
In this song, the long tones in the chorus are extended, and she sings from the late first half of the chorus through the middle of the latter half without any rests, making the piece feel more challenging in terms of sustained notes than it might sound at first listen.
