I think it’s strange that suddenly during the Time For the moon night/Pre Apple era there seems to be a sudden change in her voice. All voices change, but here it always seemed like there was a complete change of voice. I couldn’t hear a lot of tonal similarities from her prime to now (like a completely different singer) and I don’t think that’s from voice overuse or her technique. People say that she doesn’t open enough and stuff, I don’t think opening helps at all when there’s too much vocal fold closure (there’s literally no air coming out and it’s too narrow) whereas in her prime her closure was decent but it had a decent airy side to her voice. It’s doable but opening doesn’t really help against tension.
I think that the best word that I find her voice nowadays is “dry”, I think there are no other words to put it. I don’t know what the hell the company has been feeding her but her voice is dry. Not dry and big, just dry, tiny and really forward (almost too nasal).
First I don’t think her belts (C5-F5) are that risky, they’re done frequently but not a ton (unlike most underground singers who will belt G#5 twenty times every day) and they sound healthy. I don’t think there’s an overuse because you’d have to sing 4-5 songs on your own of 3 minutes with challenging textures (riffs, growls, airies, louds, quiets) and she seems really well trained at belting (I think she’s even better than SM singers purely belting wise). Plus she’s in her 20s, literally the period when your voice recovers the best from vocal injury.
Nah I think there’s something else, that change of voice felt too drastic to be just natural. I don’t think it was a regression but some complications with her instruments that could only be anatomical.
