The SubwayChappell Roan

Chappell Roan – The Subway (Official Music Video)

It’s a song that really builds up toward the second half.

In the first half, the chorus goes up to D5, but it’s not a section where you should belt, so aim for an airy, gentle delivery.

The tempo isn’t fast, so it’s easier if you learn it melody by melody.

If you’re not used to using falsetto, practice humming so you can switch smoothly between chest voice and falsetto.

In the first half, try projecting your voice upward, resonating in the area between the eyebrows or the head to create a light, open sound.

In the second half, the resonance gets a bit stronger, so direct the sound downward and resonate in the chest to bring out more power.

Try speaking or singing with a hand on your chest—you’ll feel strong vibrations there—then sing while focusing on that resonance!
