SaturdayTragic
Aug 11, 2023No but he knows how to use his voice. I find it so interesting that he’s managed to influence so many current R&b artists men and women alike while not being able to sing.

BD32Hold On, We’re Going Home doesn’t even sound like him
Lol yes it does it’s just layered with Majid Jordan vocals bc they’re technically featured

BrickellBaysideLike, back in the day he really used to flex. Just listen to him kill this Look what you've done performance. Won't even attempt to do this in 2023 lol
(4:22 mark)

!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOdDoCV3v20Do you really think he sounded good at the 4:22 mark? Idk man, doesn't sound the best to me. I'd argue he sounds better now in 2023 but maybe you'll say it's just the autotune (you're probably right)
But the Ellen and VMA performance of HOWGH took place right in between both of those videos you linked (2013 I believe) and I think it was horrendous. Doubt you'll hear him sounding this bad these days
I'd say he is sort of 'flexing' here and it is 2023
Or would you argue that he sounds better in the LWYD performance?

NoirI have a reasonably deep baritone and I've found falsetto is actually a great way to protect your voice if you're singing on a nightly basis instead of shouting high notes you can't hit. A baritone with a good falsetto can cover a lot of ground and maybe that's something Drake should practice with his voice getting lower with age. He tries it on Falling Back and yeah it could use more work but it's not a bad idea.
Lately it seems like he's comfortable staying super low in his range and just trying to hit the notes, but it comes out sounding emotionally flat.
I think it's like a lot of people said: the standard for vocals this gen mostly comes down to melody and not timbre or vibrato because autotune does its thing, so rapping and vocal melodies have become his focus instead of the technical stuff.
I think you're right. People do often remark that he sounds 'flat', particularly live at times. Last paragraph is defo facts

Aug 11, 2023Faster tempo he struggles with like One Dance. But on slower tempos where he has time to hold the note and focus on it he is better.
This is the reason why he used to used a TV track or previous recorded audio to perform One Dance or Hold on. They even tried to play the songs slower than they really are to suit his vocal performance.

Miww85He use to be able to sing a little bit, he just needed a vocal coach and he would have been better. But now he lost his voice tbh
- Aug 11, 2023BrickellBayside
He's obviously synonymous with being the artist that birth a culture and sound of R&B that highlights the songwriting and melodies instead of the vocal ability (which is an insane feat for a rapper)
but at his peak he had a better singing voice than the PND's Bryson Tiller Tory Lanez and Brent Faiyaz's of the world
He actually could sing a bit

Aug 11, 2023Not at all
- Aug 11, 2023
Unfortunately, he absolutely can't. It's autotune on his tracks that make him sound so good. That's why he can't sing songs like One Dance, HOWGH, and Passionfriot live.

Horrifying
Aug 11, 2023I think at one point in his career, he actually tried to be a good singer but it's clear he gave up on that or stopped trying
