Vocals Quotes

When I did the vocals, I always became so angry and pissed off Picture Quote #1

The vocals are what immediately draw people in and sell the song Picture Quote #1

Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Time After Time’ was a perfect song. It was so beautiful and so heartfelt. Her vocals were so amazing. And, for me, that was a song I went to when I was feeling sad and wanted to feel even sadder Picture Quote #1

It’s just a lot of fun to be able to see your ideas come into fruition. And to see people translate the things that come out of my mind vocally. And to be able to produce vocals and give people my point of view musically. And to be able to sit in the crowd and see people sing the song that I wrote, it’s an amazing feeling Picture Quote #1

Musicians like James Blake were a big influence on me. How he uses his vocals is amazing. And then Yeasayer and Animal Collective, who aren’t pop bands exactly, but they do something that is so catchy and undeniable and so much fun Picture Quote #1

It’s a particular skill, I think, doing backing vocals. You’re blending the vocals between the gaps, between the music Picture Quote #1

The music that I listen to is very minimalistic. I listen to a lot of old blues that is just guitar and vocals Picture Quote #1

The only time it dominates is during a solo, or when we play a low blues and I put figures in behind Eric’s vocals. There’s never any real problem fitting guitar and organ together Picture Quote #1

There’s not a day that I don’t work on vocals, have vocal coaches, go to acting classes, read books Picture Quote #1

I pay such close attention of the record making process that most people would assume are very little and wouldn’t be that big of a deal; the packaging, the title, and the harmonies, I think, are arguably as important as the lead vocals Picture Quote #1

To me, dance is so ethereal and elusive, so much of an illusion. After a performance, that’s it. With vocals and music, you have good recordings Picture Quote #1

When we talk about my music, it’s a cross between Tina Turner, Alanis Morrisette, and Diana Ross. It’s the glamour and the showiness of Diana Ross; the ferociousness and pain of Tina Turner; and the vocals of Alanis Picture Quote #1

The boarders have changed. My vocals explore different elements and you know it was really important for me to transfer the atmosphere of the songs with my voice Picture Quote #1

When I listen to the radio, I just hear so much music that doesn’t even sound like people. The vocals are all tuned, and the drums are all fake Picture Quote #1

In the studio you can auto tune vocals, and with drums, you can put them on a grid and make them perfect. I hate that sound. When someone hands me a record and the drums are perfectly gridded and the vocals are perfectly auto tuned, I throw it out the window. I have no interest in rock music being like that Picture Quote #1

I want the feeling where you don’t really know what to do with yourself - in the vocals, in the production. Everything Picture Quote #1

The first thing people look at with Four Seasons records is the vocals. But for me, the drum fills and rhythms are as much a part of it as anything. They’re the base on which the harmonies were built Picture Quote #1

It’s fun singing with other people who are really good singers. There’s something kind of poignant about braiding a couple vocals Picture Quote #1

I think I’m a vocal genius, not a musical genius. I like background vocals. I consider myself a voice, not a singer. A voice is a sound, and singing is what you do with that sound Picture Quote #1

I can remember the first time I ever recorded my vocals on to a beat. Cat Coore from Third World - a legendary Jamaican band - had a little demo set up at his house. I’m very good friends with his eldest son, Shiah, who plays with me now. So we were rhyming over a track by the dancehall artist Peter Metro. I’ve still got it somewhere Picture Quote #1

Remixes come very quickly, because you already have the melody and the vocals. I have a great passion for music, so it doesn’t matter to me if it’s a remix or an original production. I don’t think about it as, ‘Well, I have to spend three hours on a remix or I have to do something all original.’ Picture Quote #1

The irony is that I don’t think we took a step backwards to make ‘Group Therapy’. I think we took a step forward because it’s a lot more complicated to make that kind of album. I think that album was far more produced than ‘American Apathy’, and it had a lot more harmony vocals and lots of intricate parts musically speaking Picture Quote #1

I just like simplicity. I like simple songs, I like simple chords, simple vocals, simple lead guitar. I just like simplicity. That’s just the way I like it Picture Quote #1

As a musician, I don’t think I’m the greatest guitar player. I’m a bigger fan of the drums than I am the guitar; I just happen to play guitar. I play drums almost every day at my house. I wrote a lot of songs behind the drum kit, just having the music and vocals in my head and playing the rhythm Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

Yeah, I’m just blessed to have this very strong thing, my vocals. I’m very healthy in that regard Picture Quote #1

I want to make an album with just great beats and big vocals and just amazing lyrics Picture Quote #1

I write the vocals last, because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it Picture Quote #1

I usually prepare a track and then I work with the artist when it’s time to do the vocals Picture Quote #1

For a young band about to make a record, make sure you get the vocals right Picture Quote #1

I’m making a record that’s half stripped down acoustic which is the way I perform a lot and half of it is very produced. It’s really hard to keep music simple but I was trying to keep it simple and focus on one or two instruments and vocals Picture Quote #1
