Listening: Style 3







Monday 21th January


Q1.  Give an account of the vocals in this track. Things to consider: effects, timing, style, articulation/phrasing, improvisation etc.

The vocals in the track have a unique feel to it, Amy Winehouse isn't exactly singing in time, she may start singing just before the beat or just after, this gives it a relaxed feel to it. Another effect she has in the track on her voice are the improvised sound effects she adds, e.g. do's, be's, boo's.

Q2.  Compare this track with the other version above. Does the track feel different? If so, why?

In the original version, The tempo is a lot slower than Amy Winehouse's version, also this version is more guitar based and has a more latin feel to it.
One of the most obvious differences is the fact that the original is in a different language.
Whereas, Amy Winehouse's version has drums, bass and Amy has added improvised vocals.
Also in Amy Winehouse's version, it sounds like the bass and drums are carrying the melody on their own.
