I just heard this atrocity on a pop radio station on my drive home this evening. This is an example of male indie girl voice. I dare you to listen to it.

Awful. There's an awful lot of that shite being pumped on local radio in the UK/IE.

Modern male pop vocalists are basically indistinguishable from each other. Just an endless slog of nonthreatening, inoffensive wimps.

See:
Sam Smith
Lewis Capaldi
Shawn Mendes

I have to stop or I'll vom.

Sam Smith's the type of guy to cry at the sight of a plastic bag swirling in the wind.

Y'all remember James Blunt?

I feel the pop music landscape has moved away from the likes of Sam Smith. Who are the biggest male pop singers right now? The Weeknd, Post Malone? They don't really do "the voice" do they? And then you've got the reggaetoneros like Bad Bunny who do something else entirely

James Blunt is the man. He would be the first person to admit his music is trash.

Wait up - are you saying Georgia Maq of Camp Cope does this thing?

I’m afraid so, higgs

OK on second listen now that I know that they are Australian I guess maybe not. But that’s funny because apparently indy girl voice Is pretty similar to an Australian accent

That is funny

Didn't Buble beat his wife on a zoom?

I'm gonna leave this thread now before I get angry and hurt someone.

Australian accents are great! But when an American is talking all normal and then sings like they're Australian it's stupid and annoying.

I heard two songs from Maggie Rogers and im sure she belongs here
