    You might not, but me I still mourn the loss of #JuiceWRLD - in all his drug addicted, anxiety ridden, auto-tuned glory. He had lots to say! Sometimes, even in #falsetto. No doubt he would've said a lot more had he lived. RIP.

    #LutherVandross - "Take You Out" (2001)

    I don't always love this man's material, but I'll never fail to give props to his velvet tenor - especially when it's this song. Plus he's improvising with a little #falsetto at the end. For once, #JayZ and I agree: this is late-life Luther greatness.

    The keen ears at @blogamf hipped me to #CrammedDiscs’ 2022 release of this lost 1987 album by Congolese-born/Belgian-raised #MauricePotoDoudongo. It's future forward electro-funk, ala #ZazouBiyake - or #Prince, fr christs sake! - but steeped in the rhythms and textures of #CongoleseRumba and #Soukous. Rich, joyful, and really quite beautiful, this one gets me moving and still sounds relevant today.

    The life struggles behind #Debarge couldn't be more tragic - it's astounding that to date only Bobby has passed. But on record, their collective voices were nothing short of angelic. "I Like It" was a great illustration of just how celestial Randy, Bunny, & Eldra could be when they flew high.

    With the 2025 #NBA season now officially over and done with, how's a desperate, basketball-addicted fanboy supposed to get by? Me, I always ask in my best #falsetto: What Would #CheechAndChong Say?

    Can women sing in #falsetto? If it's understood to be that breathy/reedy span of pitches somewhere above one's normal singing range, then damn right women can. "Love On The Brain" demonstrates it beautifully - #Riri was born to sing falsetto.

  16. I’m generally a real pessimistic person.
    Here’s a nervous live version of my song “Optimist,” a rehearsal for a live stream I did last summer.

    These days, #BryanFerry is a pro-fox hunting/anti-Scottish Independence Tory blowhard - albeit one with impeccable taste in men's formal wear. But that says nothing of his graceful musical instincts and beautiful #falsetto, still utterly captivating as he nears 8 decades on this planet. His take on #JBlackfoot's "Taxi" (from 1993, produced by #RobinTrower) lends quiet desperation to the original. This one's always on repeat somewhere in the back of my mind.

  19. Seems to be a well-known album in some underground scenes, but I just found #Fishmans #LongSeason. And wow, I like it.

    It's basically a single 35 minute track. It was described as being "dream like" / #psychedelic which I think fits quite well. The singer, who unfortunately passed away already, uses #Falsetto which adds another unique touch. It's from 1996.

    I basically found them via reddit.com/r/fishmans/comments which is an interesting story :)

  20. It's my 50th birthday today. I'm releasing an album of new music: "The False Voice is tunes for concertina and falsetto singer. Melodies set against instrumental drones and varied textures conjure a hopeful spirit and thoughts of the forest and its creatures in the westernmost region of Washington State, USA."

    "In a vocal fry register," explains Elemans, "your vocal folds are mostly slack, so they're #thick and #heavy, and they #vibrate at their #lowest #frequencies. And in the #falsetto #register, they're stretched very long and the #tension is very high. And this leads to the #highest frequencies."
