    It's super interesting to see how much he's grown as a musician and especially a singer. If I didn't know who he was, I don't think I would've recognized his voice because his style changed so much. I mean, he was still spectacular, but you can also see that he hadn't quite found his own voice just yet.

      His own voice?! Whose voice is that then? He was younger and here singing folk like songs with minimal production and instruments. The boy’s been singing since birth probably and voice and style will change along the years. This is his head voice which you can still hear a lot nowadays.

    • @Andy_Rose90
      @Andy_Rose90 2 месяца назад +3

      @Fqbbp I'm not referring to the style of music or the production value nor to him using head voice. It's just that you can hear how he's grown more confident in using his own unique style of intonation, phrasing, which vowels or consonants to emphasize and so on that makes his voice stand out anywhere. That's what I mean by "own voice". I'd even say that his style has become iconic enough that a new generation of singers now tries to imitate him. Another example of a truly unique and groundbreaking style could be, for example, Michael Jackson.

    I was fortunate enough to find out two years ago. After hours and hours on redit searching "who is you know who" someone deep down in the reddit abyss said, "Im a UK musician in the scene. It's definitely Leo Faulkner" so I searched Leo Faulkner and found Backlit Canopy. Once i heard his voice I knew it was he who shall not be named. Glad to I dscover his past endeavors. As of 2 years ago, all of his Backlit Canopy songs were available for free on Soundcloud. That may have changed.

    There are people who play music, and there are people who create music and then there are those who ARE music. To me it is almost like these types of artist channel something from another dimension almost as if they are a portal for this magical melody that is being called from this dimension. If you notice when people like this are performing it almost seems like something other worldly is happening.

    I actually went and bought the little Blacklit Canopy EP on Bandcamp after discovering this as I really like this song in it's own right. While you can obviously hear things from a certain singer that you'll hear again in a certain band that came after this, the combination of the two singers in BC was definitely nice for what it was.
