Dancing on the MirrorTohru
Tomei is a female singer-songwriter with a sharp musical sensibility who’s highly regarded in the industry.
While her downer-tinged tracks are especially compelling, my top recommendation is Dancing on the Mirror.
It’s close to the electro-swing popular in places like Belgium and France, and it carries an adult, jazzy vibe throughout.
The piece doesn’t have a particularly narrow range, but because it features many low parts, it’s perfect for showcasing the charm of singers with lower voices.
If you find the falsetto in the chorus hard to sing, try delivering it with solid projection instead of the whispery tone used in the original.
Even though it’s marked as falsetto, it’s not extremely high, so you should be able to handle it in chest voice.
