    I like it. It is what it is...music that's easy on the ears. I, like a couple here, also used to be an active musician: guitar and vocals. Nowadays, as some here have mentioned, almost all the studio vocals are autotuned. I'm even hearing it in country music (obvious pitch manipulation) and I just go "ugh!"

    Many moons ago I performed all over California in a band. Closest popular example of what I was doing would be similar to Sammy Hagar. Not for everybody...but very therapeutic. I miss it.

    She has a pleasant voice and sings in tune. Can't say much for the song, though.

      Sounds like 99.99% of all popular songs of the 21st century. Yecchh!
      Can't tell about the voice itself since so many "artists" have their recorded voices pitch/tone/amplitude/special-effects "corrected" using software. I looked for other music by the artist on youtube without success.

        Hmmm. I never thought about voice enhancement.
        I guess that tells you how out of touch I am since I was a musician.

          Here is an article on auto-tune and a sample of Britney Spears without using auto-tune. Pretty revealing.

          Madonna frequently used lip-synch tracks for her shows. No one can sing well while performing the insane dance moves that Madonna (and others) do to entertain the crowd.
          Anyone who attends a concert with 50,000 other people can expect not to hear a live performance. Why bother going to a concert to see something from 100-300 yards away and not hear their voice live at all? Give me an intimate club venue every time.

            Good Grief! That was horrid.
            How in the world did she ever get a gig? No wonder she never sang in person but only mouthed the songs. I know at least a half dozen singers just here in the Tampa area who can sing in perfect pich without any accompaniment and have beautiful voices.
            Ugh!!!!!

              Right, Herb. there are so many talented people who don't make it big. Years ago I made frequent business trips to NYC Manhattan and always took my Aunt out to her favorite neighborhood clubs (upper west side.) The talent of people who were not working was amazing. There were often as many as a dozen fantasic singers that performed live (without enhancement) for free each night, just to hone their performances and be audtion ready.
              On one visit, one of the salesman in our Manhattan software office was expecting a child and we donated for a baby gift.
              Today that baby is known as ... drumroll ...
              Lady Gaga.

            as someone living with perfect (relative) pitch, I was
            not aware of the huge corrections which are being
            used these days. . Thank You! -- j

            p.s. I will shortly have recordings of both versions
            of the example song. . ipecac for the ears.

        I did, too. . no luck.

        55 years ago, there was an artist named Ronnie Dayton
        who sang as Ronnie and the Daytonas, using sound-on-sound
        tape to make him a "group." . this is not the Ronny and
        the Daytonas who made it big. . he had a "hit" which I loved
        called "snow queen." . I have the 45. . we have much more
        tech now, including a thing which I have here called the
        "voiceLive Touch by tc.helicon" which will do some
        crazy things. . I also have a friend who uses a box
        in live performances to make a backup band appear
        behind him, in tune and in time ... James Rogers,
        who works with Dolly Parton. . there are amazing
        things out there! -- j

        p.s. the voiceLiveTouch::: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xEiS...

      I was looking for a good "backbeat" song and ran across
      this ... Chuck Berry's Rock'n'Roll Music did the trick,
      but I have this affinity for the name Dagny....... ! -- j

    I worked on the promotions and album covers for the guy that defined the musical perimeters for "The New Age" sound. Mid to late 80's I think it was.
    can't remember his name and frankly don't care...laughing...
    somewhere between burger king "Multi-fryers" and the P&W SST arriving in LA before it left NY...now that's quick!
