The song is strongly influenced by the beat and by Lovato's voice. The backup vocals also place more of an emphasis on Lovato's voice.
Style - The melody has the largest influence on the song. Lovato's strong vocals are a part of the melody. The song is in the key of B minor (Song Key BPM). Lovato sings many vocal riffs throughout the song. There are many pieces of the song that have harmony. The bridge of the song in particular shows a lot of harmony with the vocals. Lovato sings the main part of the song while backup vocals harmonize with her. Lovato sings one note while the backup singers sing another note at the same time. The song has a tempo of 144 beats per minute and is written with a 4/4 time signature (Get Song BPM). The tone color is very clear, and Lovato exhibits many vocal dynamics. The instruments used in the song include a synthesizer and drums. The song is a typical rock song with alternating verse and chorus sections and then a bridge. The song sounds typical of the artist. In her newer music, Lovato uses a lot of synthesizer sounds, drums, and electronic

Demi Lovato is more than just a famous actress and singer. She has dedicated much of her time to her fans. Everyone faces their own battles and have their own insecurities, yet she inspires her fans to embrace and overpower them. She not only uses her vocals for singing, she uses it to reach out to her fans. In terms of sales (music and concert), advocating mental health, and philanthropy, Demi Lovato has changed the meaning of the music industry.
Throughout her life, Demi Lovato has fought with many disorders including bulimia nervosa and bipolar disorder. In 2011, she voluntarily checked into a rehab facility to receive treatment for bulimia nervosa; however, the facility’s doctors soon diagnosed her with bipolar disorder, most likely bipolar II disorder. After receiving this diagnosis, Lovato’s struggles in her past made much more sense. As a child, she was frequently bullied, and it was at this point in her life when the depression
My impressions of this song is that it’s a good remix of their African roots and more modern pop. The whole song has a nice melody effected by African rhythms which really match Nico and Vinz’s voices. I have heard the song far to often but I still think it’s a good song.
With each song, the lights changed to a different color or pattern. For example, when singing a song about “gypsies”, the lights changed to a pattern that could be interpreted as a wooden wheel, perhaps alluding to the travel and roaming lifestyle that “gypsies” had. With the exception of the last song, all of her songs are sad, which she explained in the beginning to the audience. The songs are usually three to four minutes in length, are in a minor key, and have a clear, tonal melody and similar instrumentation and harmonies. When not performing, Levy acted as a storyteller.
Billie Joe Armstrong the vocalist of the band has a perfect voice for this masterpiece and he repeats most of his lyrics throughout the song. His voice starts from soft slow range whereas in the chorus he goes high range which makes it very energetic. With guitar, there is drums
While the instrumentation includes a variety of instruments, including violins, cellos, acoustic and electric guitars, drums, cymbals and a piano, the melody does not sound like an actual orchestra; synthesizers were likely utilized to produce an ethereal tone that would represent the fallen monarch’s golden age that he references throughout his lament. The melody initiates at 0:13 with a moderately fast tempo in which the king recalls his early stages of regality when he was universally acclaimed (“Viva La Vida”). Alongside the main melody, the stringed section produces the primary form of accompaniment, and drums help structure the tempo with a soft dynamic. Despite the relatively fast tempo, the guitars and violins form a timbre that acts in conjunction with the vocalist’s higher pitch to maintain a mellow atmosphere and avert a sense of disarray; however, throughout the melody, the drums transition to a higher dynamic level and a cymbal is used to accentuate this great dynamic increase. Furthermore, at 3:00 the song culminates in the introduction of the rubato section during which the vocalist’s dynamics increase to a tremendous extent; this pervades the section with a sense of overwhelming strife, and this is likely representative of the coup d’état and ultimate demise of the king.
Britney Spears was born on December 2, 1981. She lived in Kentwood, Louisiana and was constantly performing in front of people and always wanted to be on 'Star Search'. Britney tried out for the New Mickey Mouse Club at age 8 and then again at 11 and made it. Then she went solo because her talent was evident and she wanted more (A & E Television Networks, 2011).
In this song production, the use vocal layers to make Lauryn Hill voice sound thinker and to give it a harmonic
Lindsay Lohan is an actress who was born on July 2, 1986 to Dina and Michael Lohan in New York City, NY. Lohan’s career began at a very young age, at the age of three she made her debut as a model, and she appeared in many television commercials throughout her childhood. Lohan acted in many films that were incredibly successful, such as: The Parent Trap, Life-Size, Freaky Friday, Get a Clue, Mean Girls, etc. These movies were definitely some of my favorites growing up, so needless to say I was a big fan of Lindsay Lohan. I was completely shocked when I started to learn about Lohan’s troubling lifestyle in late 2000s, to me it seemed very sudden but went downhill very quickly. I thought it would be interesting to analyze Lohan’s personality
It is usually what gives a song its character and tonality. The harmony in “Lost” is heard as the minor chords of C are played throughout. When compared to “Notorious”, the harmony in this song is relatively simple, as a single soft synth is heard in majority of the track in a major mode and a couple of single note synth hits are played together to create the harmony of Malaa’s track. When thinking about a song’s timbre, we are looking for the elements which differentiate each sound to the other in terms of colour, sound quality and tone.
As described earlier, Tove Lo's music is upbeat. We can predict that people listening to Tove Lo will most likely not enjoy slow music. Slow music is quiet and not very catchy, therefore we can say that they will not enjoy it as much. Rock music fans may also not enjoy slow music as it will be very hard to bash your head and lose control to slow paced song. Finally, we can predict pop music dancers having mixed emotions.
It’s smooth because her alto voice blended well with the style she had chosen to sing. I can understand the words perfectly enough to sing along. She also uses emotion in her voice that sets the audience at ease. Jennifer Hudson’s version of “Feeling “good” has a faster rhythm that is more appropriate for the newer generation. The rhythms were identical in the beginning of both versions of the song.
Bruno Mars is one of the influential names in pop and R&B music. His use of interesting vocals and unique music techniques makes his music enjoyable. Listening to Doo-Wops & Hooligans I found that his music was very upbeat and always directed to one specific individual. Bruno Mars himself uses his unique personality in every aspect of his music, his album holds messages within each song and this leads to my overall enjoyment of the album.
As the chorus comes along the mood changes from gloomy to happy and the minor harmonic centre changes to the major harmonic centre. This is evidently seen even in the lyrics when she says, “don’t let them in, don’t let them see…” then it later culminates with, “let it go, let it go.” The music really fits with the transformation because at this point she is telling her feelings through the song and this would be phrasing the
