Vocal Coach Reacts (1st time) to Sleep Token - 'Aqua Regia'

[@pyewacket24]

Ps Watch Blood Sport (from the room below) if you want to see how he uses his jaw when he is singing x

[@robdaniel3211]

And to hear the raw, live vocals without effects nor backings.

[@YogiGeek]

Please this song needs to grace your ears. I fully agree, you’ll appreciate the texture of his voice with piano accompaniment.

[@nath147]

i was just about to recommend that

[@Axis050]

Was about to suggest - you'd love this!

[@polyrhythmz2620]

Absolutely

[@jamesbriody6886]

you are correct Vessel does stick his jaw out a lot when singing, loving your reactions to them 😊

[@childrenofsleep]

His jaw is a little bit forward naturally as well

[@LiteralGray]

To add to this, check out the video for Blood Sport (From the Room Below) to see this directly.

[@NijFix]

​@@LiteralGrayCalcutta video too.

[@TheAntwain143]

I’ve seen him sing. He 100% sticks his jaw out a bit - It helps drive emotion through the section… it’s honestly awesome

[@StephGaudreauTV]

"no wonder my ears are still ringing"...and the tone in the background just resonates - ugh it's one of my most favorite elements of the song

[@irynazaliuchaya3739]

haha you're right about his jaw. He sounds enchanting live, like an eldritch siren, and I'm not even exaggerating. Love your sleep token reaction, please do "Rain" next, you will loove it!

[@gotchyaa5747]

That background singing i feel is meant for the three vesselettes during the live performance who are unsung heroes no pun intended. They absolute crushhhhhhh new outfits too. Band we don’t deserve but honored to have them

[@chromesthesia]

Heh people using my phrase

[@punpunforfun]

I fully agree with your statement (they're AMAZING), but may I respectfully point out that they prefer to be called the Espera and not the vesselettes? Not trying to be rude, just in case you weren't already aware

[@gotchyaa5747]

@@punpunforfun i have heard this. Thank you for confirming

[@sergeantseven4240]

They are called Espera.

[@chromesthesia]

@@sergeantseven4240 well we know now! I didn't know then!

[@GahMehGrrrr]

I'm a jazz loving metal head and adore this fkin album.

[@aprilkasten]

8:20 “ whenever they want to keep people on edge.” Yes! Sleep token and their producers, mixers, engineers (giving whoever and all ever the credit they deserve) are EDGE LORDS

[@icorezx14r]

I love your bubbly energy, your reactions are crackin'. More please!

[@jessicar5748]

This song always puts a smile on my face. I love it 🥰

[@ClusterDSA]

I'm going to be excited any time I see we're doing more Sleep Token lol!

[@llSplice]

We love that you love Sleep Token!

[@Tewty11]

if you watch the Calcutta video, it has loads of closeups of vessal's mouth while he sings. also talking of layers, if you listen in the background of the piono instrumental part, its what i can only describe as the background sound of a cafe.

[@iau]

Love your reviews! It seems you have a great ear. You actually listen intently and catch so many details. So funny and such cheerful energy as well. Great stuff.

[@brandonb.5304]

One of my favorite songs from the album, yet one that feels underrated because it's just a soft, jazzy number without any metal elements.

[@wilsinhocesario]

more sleep token reactions pleaseeeeee

[@capnmoran1480]

Watching you thoroughly enjoy this song while breaking it down with such excitement is such a great time. Love the song and I enjoyed your breakdown!

[@worduser899]

Seeing you get all giddy with excitement for the unconventional chords and harmonies is wholesome.

[@marianagonzalez8351]

I LOVE the way you break down the songs 🥰 I have listened to their Take Me Back To Eden album SO many times and you point out things I hadn’t noticed or appreciated before. I LOVE IT. Thank you ❤

[@joesinclair9731]

Definitely check out blood sport (from the room below) or Rain next!

[@Lancer4323]

So happy to see you happier again after your last review, and yes you have a good ear for nuance in music. Waiting impatiently for your next release you are a pure joy❤😊

[@violacesario4389]

Lolli, I think you're right about the way Vessel sometimes uses his jaw when singing. You can see a bit of it in the Blood Sport (From the Room Below) video.

[@siena1963]

I can't wait to see your amazing reaction to "Take me back to Eden" 😍🔥

[@glazedgazes]

Now I cannot escape “Pineapple” when hearing triplets 😅 it’s all I hear now

[@heffatheanimal2200]

I think the best genre classification for sleep token is "Sleep Token"

[@ryancarter3291]

First time coming across your channel! Been introducing a friend to ST. Made me want to watch others react to them for the first time. Your understanding and explanations are great to listen to, as I'm someone who knows nothing about music! You've got a great personality and your enjoyment is infectious.

[@BipolarBLKSheep]

Out of all the reactors, I look forward to your ST reactions the most! We getting another double feature like last time? lol

[@AlvinDema]

Fun fact, Aqua Regia is a mixture of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid mostly known for being able to dissolve solid gold. The song is thought to be about a type of uncontrolled or unhinged relationship that may be a double edged sword and unhealthy for both. Like Gold in Aqua Regia.

[@silentamarok7089]

And then in Chokehold he says "I'd turn my walls to gold to bring you home again."

[@DannyPatrick]

Great song, love the analysis. Excited for more!

[@frevels]

Thank you for your great work. As always a pleasure to see you and to listen to you expertise. For me the best sleep token reaction and please please more sleep token reactions :)))) ❤

[@TheErazar]

Love the chords and the solo here, and the overall vibe for sure! Glad to see you keep checking Sleep Token :)

[@BigBrownBevo]

Love this reaction! 🫶

[@tylerpayne2399]

I love you saying Sleep Token in itself is a genre. Vessel himself on what their genre is - "Life is dark. Life is bright. Life is ugly. Life is beautiful. Don't get lost in genres, they'll only disorientate you. Music is for everyone."

[@kajlennartsson4234]

You are amazing Lolli. I'm always learning something new about music in your reaction videos. A big hug

[@MS3G35]

You should watch the music video for Calcutta, you can see his mouth singing in most the song.

[@cassargaming7008]

I call it sleep trap now haha best part is the piano plays the minor through all the major vocal parts so it creates a parody which is what the whole song is about

[@LudoTechWorld]

Oh, I never heard this one before, what beautiful harmonies... (I think the bass line is both piano and bass in unison, we used this quite a lot in a band, it gives the characteristic attack of the hammer, followed by the combination of the two type of cords with the sustain of the bass which results in this deep resonance. Very definite but not too agressive, very cool sound!)

[@chromesthesia]

And he is playing all of that >< argggg

[@robertpetre9378]

Jazzy 🎷🎸🥁🎼Sleep Token are pure progressive music 🎶

[@Thecrooms]

Yay I thought you were just teasing us by only releasing two songs then nothing. I am having a much better day now thank you!

[@Majic2657]

You're still the best Much Love❤❤❤

[@theskincareskinny5006]

Definitely need to do Blood Sport (from The Room Below)!

[@saranaturegirl123]

Great reaction...always learn something 🍍🍍🍍

[@justitia257]

Very Nice, gorgeous Fairy

[@thisischeesecake847]

worship 🙏🏻 me want more ST reacts

[@13kellyr]

Sleep Token takes a lot of inspiration from pop and R&B

[@tommyjohnson43]

You can also hear a dinner going on w conversation and dishes and silverware .. it’s during the piano solo.

[@silentamarok7089]

He def does stick his jaw out, I saw them in May, I love watching how he moves his mouth when he sings even though I don't fully understand mouth shape and singing

[@wickedPrints3256]

If you want to see his mouth while he sings I would suggest watching Blood Sport from the room below. It's just Vessel and a piano. Oh, and magic.

[@Chasingmoundbuilders]

Vessel dropping alchemy on people casually with tasty R&B/jazz jams

[@aaschmit]

I was doing some school and said to myself, "you can watch a FVM vid if you finish this paper". Lo and behold, this was uploaded today! WOOHOO! Thank you, Miss Lolli!

[@krozz420]

your take on hearing triplets as pineapple is accurate to mine but mine is banana lol, btw its awesome you checking out sleep token, they quickly became my favorite band, i love the blend of all styles, i play a lot of bass and guitar and play metal mainly but love all styles, sleep token is the perfect band for me lol

[@johnnyeproductions]

A lot of times when you have a piano in the forefront, there won't be a bass line, so they will just take the low notes, and add a sub bass behind it to give the low end needed

[@TomN_D]

During the piano solo, I swear there is lounge chatter/commotion effects in the background!

[@australianwi-fi]

there is, 100% the soundscape of a cafe or something like that

[@brandonb.5304]

There definitely are background sounds of clanging dishes, soft chatter, etc. Sounds you'd hear in a cafe. Love those little details.

[@IrenESorius]

Sweet one,,☀🌟💖🧚💞🧚💖🌟☀

[@stevenaisbitt9520]

Dear Lolli. Please, please, please get around to reacting to more Sleep Token. You are now my very favorite person on KZbin for music analysis and reaction. Sleep Token are my favorite band and I want to know your thoughts on all their music 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🖤

[@MetalGrandad23]

I was getting Hozier Take Me To Church vibes from the vocals at the beginning. Which is good because I quite like that song 😊

[@mandrevidal]

More Fairy, More Guaraná Antártica and more Sleep Token 😍

[@ryl1352]

So, are we exited for the next two songs then? Chesus. Blast inc. We're gonna get educated.

[@liamfisher917]

You should check out Zeal and Ardor - Death to the Holy - he runs in this direction and may pre-date this

[@AdamDray]

Peppered: sprinkled, dotted, ornamented, decorated, dabbed, splashed, spattered, freckled, stippled...

[@dominic0917]

You really need to react to Atlantic by Sleep Token. You'll love it

[@ckatech]

I had to lookup aqua regia: Aqua regia, also known as "royal water" in Latin, is a highly corrosive, fuming liquid that's a mixture of nitric and hydrochloric acid

[@SadlyItsMe]

Hell yessssss

[@NijFix]

Keep recommending the Calcutta video which focuses purely on his mouth as he sings. He has a slight lisp actually.

[@mauijttewaal]

Cool! Ever heard of the echoing technique by O'G3NE?!

[@mauijttewaal]

And would love you r3act to the MV of Bleed out, Within Temptation newest song:-)

[@robertkennedy9369]

Ps : that reverby bass noise is a Reese bass.

[@goldenruletv7301]

There just isn't a bad song take your time the water is glorious. I've been really into "Nazareth". Dark lyrics, gorgeous tune. 2nd song, 2nd EP.

[@pearcevanguard9252]

He do be sticking his jaw out lol watch some of their earlier music videos and you can see it.

[@PolarBearon]

"Oh and I am done dancing to alarm bells No wonder my ears are still ringing" Thats a bar.

[@mrtn-py9zl]

Could you have a look at "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" // säje (featuring Jacob Collier) ... trying to understand what is going on there with all the voices but it's hard

[@webster439]

Look up blacklit canopy and you will see his previous project

[@Matjo7588dk]

Blacklit Canopy gives a good indication to his background and the clean singing part of his style. Also, my favorite Sleep Token song is Atlantic. Or at least. I think so.

[@rsggbambino2710]

same Same SAME!!

[@DarkestNova556]

There are a LOT of science terms and references in Sleep Token’s music. He seems to have a wide range of knowledge about chemistry, biology, history, and mythology.

[@benporter1992]

Take Me Back to Eden

[@iiTzNeSs]

💜💜💜

[@louie632]

Definitely need to react to Nazareth, one of their earlier songs.

[@Chris-dt8ru]

sprinkled? as a replacement for peppered? :)

[@thulsey022]

If you want the most stripped version of his singing and his mouth placement watch Blood Sport from the Room Below sessions and prepare yourself to get emotional.

[@pyewacket24]

Isn't "frothing at the maw" a great line? I let it drift through my mind when I am obliged to listen to someone whose opinions I dislike. 😁

[@andreadrmgiuliano2827]

♥

[@kh4irulanwar]

I would really really love you react to Sleep Token : Bloodsport (From the Room Below) plzzzzz :)

[@andrewkerr3816]

I think Vessel is obsessed with teeth and jaws and biting its in a lot of his lyrics in a lot of songs. But hey maybe he just has a mouth/biting fetish idk but I like it.

[@13kellyr]

Meaning he's a Vorarephiliac. Meaning he likes the idea of being swallowed whole

[@siena1963]

Hiya Lolli. Could you please react to Sleep Tokens' "Take me Back to Eden" ? Thanks a lot ❤

[@brandonnice3428]

Sprinkled vs. Peppered

[@Nonya12608]

He has a pretty good under bite.

[@Bizcutz69]

How about "Smattering" instead 😉

[@PokeNewbie]

Sprinkling?

[@KyleCollins-ny4em]

Please analyze metallicas first four albums.

[@drumboy5175]

From Russia with love❤ Sry for mistakes, I am one of those who perfectly understands another language, but barely can construct a simple text on it, ahah And I'm using no translators, gonna do my best) As you made an attention to his technique About sticking his jaw and everything I just made a comparison and found out that this is similar to one of our singers from 90s Victor Tsoi He doesn't have such a wide range of control over hia voice but it would be interesting to see your reaction to his performance Love your content so much and your reactions Always waiting for new videos Всех люблю и всех целую) Музыка и пение - одни из самых удивительных вещей на свете, вокруг которых собирается такая куча людей

[@colbyboucher6391]

FYI, this video isn't in the playlist you put together for the album.

[@AMikeStein]

He does seem to stick his jaw out a bit and he bares his teeth…. a lot.

[@MalakianM2S]

The vocals of this one make me feel like it should be adult content somehow, not the lyrics, the feeling of it.

[@tommyjohnson43]

Sprinkled , it is sprinkled with dissonance.

[@tommyjohnson43]

Jaws

[@andyloveday-y6m]

vessel sounds a hell of a lot like someone called eden that i used to listen to all the time....im wondering if its not the same person.....listen to EDEN-DRUGS and tell me thats not the same person.......

[@humorthoist]

why dont you just say you dont like them? ps im new here

[@Amocoru]

No drums? Oh, you sweet summer child.

[@johnnyfivejmc]

🍍🍍🍍😸

[@Oakcitychef]

This song to me; is grab Lolli by the hand, pull her into the rain, dance, sing and kiss. Super sexy song for a super sexy girl 👆🏻🥰😘🔥🔥🔥

[@jagdeepkaul1261]

I love you but Jesus christ you know how to spoil a song! Please stop pausing it every 5 seconds Loloololol... I'm not being mean but let it play out a little bit like before pausing.

[@GarryCreech]

This singing style is copied from styles.
