Avicii – Wake Me Up (Official Lyric Video)

Avicii’s classic “Wake Me Up.” It might be the most popular hype song in the world.

The track’s driving, fast-paced melody is striking—and that very sense of momentum actually works to your advantage.

Here’s why: vocals get harder the more space there is between phrases, because you have less room to cover up imperfections.

In “Wake Me Up,” there are no long sustained notes in any of the vocal parts.

That means you can hide a lot.

Even if you deliver the lines almost like you’re tossing them off, it can surprisingly still sound good.

Give it a try!
