Vocal Type: Contralto
Vocal Range: 2 Octaves 3 notes D3-G#5
Vocal Pluses: Gorgeous tone and an expressive singer. Has a thick low- midrange that sounds healthy, rich with a slightly husky quality. Her mature singing style is for the most part effortlessly achieved giving her voice a velvety soothing quality that is free from vocal histrionics.
Vocal Negatives: Vocal styling can leave some feeling her voice is boring, or unimpressive.
She's hit a Eb6 before. @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNVXjAstiV0
ReplyDeleteI always thought Sade was an alto? She is my favorite singer.
ReplyDeleteHey Salina, thanks for the comment. I try to stick to the three main vocal fachs- Contralto, Mezzo and Soprano- when labelling singers. Alto is a term that's used more widely when it comes to choral singing, so Sade would be called that in a group context but not as a solo singer. Oh and thanks for bringing my attention to this profile, its in desperate need of expansion.
ReplyDeletehey Selita29 she did indeed hit an Eb6 but it was an exclamation and I don't tend to include those. Thanks for comment!
ReplyDeleteshe has also hit C3 on Sweetest Gift
ReplyDeleteI think she hit a G2 in an octave unison in soldier of love when she says "I'm a soldier of love"
ReplyDeleteSADE rocks always and forever!
