Polyphonic Singing

[@guyp3599]

She sings one note and whistles the other

[@onlygafabotwhatigafbout8495]

When your singing from a honest place you don't need words.

[@mrs.featherbottom5901]

Linnie Shobha85 it isn't so much that she sing from an honest place though? It mostly that she is very technical? Or am I missing something? what's the honest quality?

[@seanmarshall8799]

Damn that little riff at 0:10 is what Phillip Bailey sings in Earth Wind Fire's live version of Reasons... Where he's going back and forth with the sax. What a great moment.

[@tylegend1986]

She didn't have to work that earth wind and fire lick in there the way she did. THAT was beautiful.

[@lisaingram5670]

Love her realness .....

[@marywilson6354]

Should be a lot bigger then she is she better then a lot of theses so called pop start using autotune she sing from her soul and is incredible at it loved her dad too .

[@marquishalsell]

I definitely agree with you on dis one lessons needs to be taken from her real rap

[@shabrethajennings7291]

Unfortunately her style and tone of singing is not what mainstream promotes, it's all about that generic pop sound. If Lalah had been born during the jazz era she would've definitely been a bigger artists. Nevertheless, fame isn't really all that it doesn't determine how talented and gifted you are either. More than half of the biggest artists some being "icons" are average or below, the days of just being talented is over, everything is cookie cutter image. You have to love what you do, grow and nuture your gift, and just appreciate those who value and enjoy what you have to offer. Real validation comes from within, not from how many records sales and how popular you are in the world.

[@IamMclovin754]

I've been telling people that alot of these other stars can out sing alot of these big pop stars.

[@Trippyboho]

[@kortneesimmonsd.div.9059]

Alberto Maracheski Dennis Clark and Jason Morales

[@julibucci2802]

I remember you had her split vocal thingy down pat nice job bro.

She + Camille Beartaut would be amazing (scats). About low notes just remember me Jessica Ready. Runs remember me Kim Burrell. And these sounds are similar to B.Slade. So, i believe that if she sing with these guys in a live, will definely be awesome.

[@Kalifornyalove]

Love her😍🎤

[@si44ll26]

Yo here and her back up singers are fucking amazing wtf!!!!

[@teamlean3717]
