as an alto, I feel the single note line deep in my bones

[bxinger]

The best harmonies are the ones that start unsatisfying and then resolve

[Paul_K_]

of course it's autotuned, but he's also chesting D♭5, which is satisfying no matter how much pitch correction is needed to tune it.

[mangus]

This man’s vocal range is so wide holy shit

[nathanaelhahn]

the most satisfying harmonies are the ones that they haven't autotuned the crap out of...

[AynOtori]

We all hear the immense pitch correct right?

[artemlyubchenko]

I don’t care if there’s autotune in that but this guy has an insane vocal range

[rraftapapirpp]

everyone is talking about the insane amount of pitch correct, but no one is talking about how the lyrics make absolutely zero sense at all

[Cookie]

I love the 6th voice so much. That harmony is heavenly.

[bikbikkun]

I know there's quite a bit of autotune but I think it suits the way he's singing it. My genuine first reaction was that I really liked it and enjoyed the twist he put on it 🙌🏽

[drazlet]

I’m glad to see MIKA getting more attention

[VictorRamirezMusic]

Kudos to the effort, I wish that there would be differing rhythms in the harmonies for these tidbits, cause rn it just sounds like a bunch of horizontal chords

[huhjanus]

i dont even care about the obvious pitch correction, it sounds so fucking amazing

[nezkeys]

"Purple"

I used to hate the sound of a major 3rd and perfect 4th in the same chord. Now I love it so much. However when you analyse this chord there is something very interesting if you invert the notes you get this...

Ab Bb Eb G

This is basically an Abmaj9 without the 3rd if you invert it further...

Ab (C) Eb G Bb

Or Eb/Ab as a slash chord. Both extremely pleasing aurally

[Vininn]

Wait how am I supposed to start a Jacob Collier flame war in the comments of this video?

[maromaro]

I've never thought that a TikTok video would inspire me to try something new!
Thanks George, love your vids!

[DoubleBassX]

Even on the high parts he didn't steal the headroom from the last layer where he "uses his lead voice" - this shows great awareness imo.

[CallMeCaleb-wi]

Legitimately, this sounds better than other harmonies.

[tolkiensunknowngrandchild]

Holy shit that ending! I don't think a whole lot of people realize how hard that is to pull off.

[SuperBen]

I mean with a smile like that, he can get away with as much autotune as he wants
