walk walkyonige
The two-woman rock band yonige.
Unlike typical all-girl bands, they keep a gritty, no-nonsense style that’s earned strong support from core rock fans.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend to women aiming for high karaoke scores is “walk walk.” The track is structured with verses (A and B) sung in the low-to-mid range, a slightly higher-pitched chorus, and a low-range bridge (C section).
You might feel uneasy about the higher notes in the chorus, but since it calls for a relaxed falsetto rather than a strained one, you can definitely aim for a high score as long as you keep your pitch steady.
