Billie Eilish – bad guy

Billie Eilish, a female singer-songwriter highly praised for her unique musicality.

Her 2019 release “bad guy” was an explosive hit, wasn’t it? Because it’s such a stylish piece, this might come as a surprise, but in fact the vocal difficulty of this song is quite low overall.

It’s not packed with dense English either, so I think it’s very easy to sing even for people who aren’t confident in English.

If you focus on using a whisper voice—a breathy singing style—it will instantly sound like a professional performance, so give it a try as a reference.

Fun.: We Are Young ft. Janelle Monáe [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

The fan favorite “We Are Young,” which won Song of the Year at the 55th Grammy Awards in 2013.

It’s a piece with a modern melody characteristic of indie pop, and actually, it’s quite easy to sing.

Thinking, “Huh? But isn’t this song high?” Yes, there are high parts.

But you know what? If the high notes are tough, just lower the key.

The only high section is the long tone in the chorus.

If you can get through that, the rest has a calm melody, so it ends up sounding pretty good.

Lower the key to suit your voice and give it a try.

Eurythmics, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart – Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) (Official Video)

Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to sing a slick Western pop song? The thing is, there aren’t many like that out there.

This “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)” is one of the few cool Western songs that’s easy to sing.

You’ll notice when you hear the melody that the song is surprisingly simple.

It actually works even without much dynamics or vibrato.

Of course, using those techniques will make it sound way better.

The melody leans toward the lower register, but if it’s too low for you, just raise the key.

The overall range is narrow, so it’s relatively easy to sing.

As for the falsetto parts in the middle of the song, feel free to tweak and arrange them loosely to get by.
