Vocal Type: Soprano Vocal Range: 3 octaves C#3-C#6 Vocal Pluses: Has a unique, emotive voice, that has a slightly raspy texture. Vocal Negatives:Belting lack subtlety and the lower register (below a G3) isn't pleasant to listen to.
I love Amerie! Her voice and musicality is so underrated it kills me, she has such an amazing versatility. One minute she can sound gravely then within the same lyric she can cleanse the tone in her voice sounding pure and fresh. Another thing worth noting is her trills and staccatos are always spot on. She also has a beautiful head voice! The only negatives I would say is sometimes her rasp can sound at times strained along with the occasional belts. Also her lower registers are slightly weaker and tend to be much less laboured.
Her pliability as an artist is also commendable, she produces and writes most of her own material and sets her own trends and keeps it new with each album. She has yet to release a dud album and her upcoming one (Cymatika Vol. 1) has me waiting with more than eager anticipation. Even although I know she is going down the electronic route I know for a fact that she is more than innovative enough to make it sound fresh and new.
She has that rare kind of soprano that you dont hear very often. She can mix it all up ie. seductive 'Thats What U R', agressive 'Higher', gentle vulnerability 'All I Have' and can emulate pure excitement '1 thing'! I urge anyone who cares to keep their music classy to check out Ameries work! Well worth it!

She can hit it, but it doesnt mean it sounds pleasant.
