Indie Girl Voice

[96583UP]

this thread has become more than i can bear

if only there were a mousy singer-songwriter that could adequately express the angst and cuteness i am feeling right now

For numbers

i don’t plan to watch the video but if we were a bar that did arts and crafts i would totes build a self-serving act of idolatry masked as an artisanal gesture of affection for you

You watched the video.

look at 96up requote himself on the new page lest anyone be deprived

There's a chick here, Kate Miller Heidke. She was our Eurovision entrant a few years ago.

She's classically trained and has just released an album this year. EVERYTHING sounds the same on it.

I think she qualifies.

spike seems threatened by my folksy princess arias

natural reaction of a chauvinist steak-eater football brute

here in my enchanted garden of dreams, there is only beauty, and downloads

[Chris_H_2]

she sounds like that chick from of monsters and men.

[tree_]

Sorry Higgs, I don't think she qualifies. Weird, cause the Maps cover you recommended is what got me started on this.

[E.H. Ruddock]

Halsey and Shawn Mendes do this a lot too, right?

[tree_]

Halsey, I don't think so. She does this super-throaty, breathy thing but doesn't go full Indie Girl Voice.

[tree_]

Also not hearing it in Mendes. Maybe you have a better example?

[E.H. Ruddock]

Yeah I'll have to look. I was going off of memory since I don't listen to them, but I'll see if I can figure out what I was thinking. This is a good thread, tree. I always had distaste for this style but didn't know it had a name!

[tree_]

Thanks man. Yeah, me too. It was just nagging at me so I looked it up and found it had a name! I'm looking forward to identifying more atrocities.

[spike]

is this what eddie vedder does

[Dev]

I think I am capable of pulling of the boy version of this tho I too generally hate this effect

[tree_]

let's here it bo bo

edit: hear

[E.H. Ruddock]

This is the Halsey song I was thinking about. She's pretty borderline doing it a lot in the song, but then around 2:08 she says "carves into my hollow chest" but says it like "cheist".

[tree_]

ewww yeah that's painful yikes.. i want to hate her but she's so hot

[E.H. Ruddock]

It is too bad because I love the music in that song, but then her vocals take me out of it.

[tree_]

Yeah she doesn't strike me as having any artistic integrity.

[The Argonaut]

Yeah she doesn't strike me as having any artistic integrity.

OK, take it down a notch
