Girls Just Wanna Have Fun | Cyndi Lauper | Looping Cover | Nick Di Gregorio
People are often confused cos I looove singing songs sung by woman, it’s fun putting them in the right key for my voice and the surprise people get. It’s really not difficult when you wrap your head around changing keys, but it definitely is one of those weird points where musicians are misguided or have limiting beliefs around singing it the ‘original’ key, everyones voice is a completely individual instrument and there’s lots of reasons to put songs into different keys. Understanding the underlying systems and how to do it properly is often where I see musicians fail. Often just thinking of moving the capo up and down, but there are so many amazing voicings and hidden gems working within a new restriction that can bring out a song beautifully as well as make someones voice be distinct and working with it as opposed to forcing it to be in a key that you think you ‘should’ be singing in. There’s nuance to the discussion depending on a heaps of factors eg/ whether going for musical theatre jobs, playing in band and cutting through, arrangement ideas and limitations and a whole host of way to view it. Gonna do a little tutorial I think about the topic.
