Why You Love The Sound Of Falsetto
Ойын-сауық
Falsetto is inescapable in pop music - and we like it that way. Here’s the science of why we can’t get enough of falsetto, explained.
Glass-shattering falsettos are a mainstay in every popular genre of music today, from R&B to pop to hip-hop. With vocalists like The Weeknd and Charlie Puth dominating the Billboard Hot 100, it may seem like falsetto’s popularity is a recent development in music. But impossibly high voices male voices have been coveted-after for centuries - and there’s a scientific explanation behind why we’re so obsessed with those high notes. With leading vocal coach and technician Justin Stoney, we break down the difference between falsetto and head voice, pop music’s infatuation with falsetto vocals, and the special appeal of the male falsetto.

Summary: Vocal contrast. More dramatic = more emotion. When the genre is hip hop and you mix in the airy falsetto from a male voice that you're usually used to hearing a chest voice from, the contrast makes you pay more attention to it.

Wow this is such an amazingly interesting video. Lion Sleeps Tonight is an early falsetto song of the Pop era.
Coming from a music major, this video is refreshing and accurate.
I love The Weeknd's and Charlie Puth's falsetto SO MUCH.
The insider: Why do you love the sound of falsetto? Me: What the hell is a falsetto?
Interesting video. 👍🏻
Love those high notes
I wonder if this only applies to human voices. Do you enjoy the higher note instruments like violas more than basses? Or does the range a single instrument play in also have different effects on our brain? My guess would be no, since they are not living creatures and our brain does not see parallels to emotional attributes. Yet still someone bending the violin on an outstanding level can cause a lot of people to tear up and get emotional. Would love to know more about this. Interesting video!
Well, now i know why i love ZAYN ..❤

My absolute favorite falsetto in terms of vocal quality is Darren Hayes - Although he doesn't use it all the time, when he does it is such an incredible beauty and strength to it - Check out his song "Insatiable" where he really works that area of his voice to the max.
Y’all clocked me. Never really thought about why I like Swae Lee’s music so much and tell me why in the past week I downloaded a bunch of The weeknd songs and Attention by Charlie Puth. 😂
I only got this recommended to me because The Weeknd is in the thumbnail
One of the ideas I have for my rewrite of the fighter by Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood is to have both vocal done by the same singer but have Carrie underwoods parts in Falsetto
Let's not forget the monster bass of those songs, and the ability for it to fit into anything

It sounds like Prince had different pitches of falsetto. Like in his song "Kiss," he's singing in falsetto pretty much the whole song. Then at the end, he goes into a higher register. It's really amazing and difficult to pull off for untrained amateurs like myself.
Not sure about this. Personally I find a strong chest voice to sound the most emotional, especially when the voice gets raspy and distorted. Falsetto pretty much never hits me with much feeling.
Excellent Thanks

this gives me confidence. My instructor told me my normal voice sucks but my falsetto is good.
"Somebody's Watching Me" and "Gold Digger." That's pretty much the only time falsetto worked for me.
