Diana Krall Survey
I am not very familiar with Diana Krall but other non-classical contralto female singers I like are Mama Cass, Amy Winehouse, Beth Gibbons, and Carly Simon. CAn she do something along the line of THis? I would like to hear that! |
Contraltos in general are a relatively hard sell for female vocals I think. Contralto is the lowest normal range for a female singer I believe, making it the least distinguished from male vocals. A contralto has to up the ante in other complimentary ways more so usually to score with the masses I think. I have seen Lady Gaga and Katy Perry categorized as contraltos, though contralto is a classical music voice designation technically. I think Diana Krall is no different. Sometimes she does and succeeds, sometimes she just relies on her vocal chops alone which is a tougher sell, at least for me. |
