Sound Engineer: How much reverb do you want? London Grammar: YES

[@rachaelphiri2299]

Haha.

[@eddeph]

you mean church level of reverb for that angelic voice

[@jonmyrick472]

Her voice is already amazing, the reverb was too much & actually made it worse.

[@marktekk4982]

I wonder who decided this much reverb is good. All its doing is covering up her lovely vocals. This is probably what fish hear from the tank....

[@LunarCosmic]

Just LG style, much reverb :)

Believe you me, it's not just one person. Dan, Dominic, and Hannah are a freaking trio, that can not be separated. They just work so well together, that I can not imagine them separated. Purity in its finest form. Hats off to all of them.

Bruh ive been listening to "Strong" by them on repeat So glad to see 'em doing stuff again

[@acousticremedies2189]

Ohhhh

[@FredRC]

Hannah reminds me a lot of Malin from Ace of Base, specially during the 93-95 era. Not only their appeareance, but their sytle and cute stage shyness. Malin also sang in a similar tone. Not to mention both are extremely gorgeous. London Grammar should record some Ace of Base covers, everybody would win.

[@hotdamndan9892]

The lyrics of The Weeknd is melancholy enough,. And LG just made it haunting. Damn, that's beautiful.

[@BrunoCisi]

Her voice is the quietness itself but so powerfull at the same time. Love it.

[@markswain6496]

Amazing.That is the best sound quality and voice tone I have ever heard 👏👏👏

[@KopCole]

Picture this: An Angel comes from heaven to guide and help those less fortunate than most but gets distracted by these 2 guys making music and she tells her boss..”I’m off to sing in a band” ..the boss reluctantly agrees and lets her do what she’s best at..soothing ears and warming the soul. Thank you Hannah

[@michaeljenardligan6173]

I'm glad I found this cover, I don't know the London Grammar yet, but damn! Glorious voice, similar to Florence Welch 😍✨

[@persianpkmn]

Please check out their song Hey Now, its beautiful

[@emmanuelotanez4902]

Both of them have beautiful voices but no, not similar.

[@griefweaver8432]

The "voice" is 80% studio fx, but yes, there's a huskiness and lower timbre that suggests she at least wants to sound like FW, it's probably mostly substance abuse tho

[@IdeasAsOpiates]

@@griefweaver8432 um... wow.. she has one of the most amazing vocal ranges around... why post a comment like this?

[@jak30341]

Brian Wenner she could use a vocal coach to learn how to support her notes and correct breathing techniques while singing, etc...that being said, her natural talent is there and the group is great, actually one of my favorites of the last few years
