      Yeah he's got a strong falsetto but I'm willing to bet the producer also used a pitch-shifting effect. I suspect this because if you isolate the vocals on the original track and detune it 3 or 4 semitones, it sounds a lot more like his real voice.

      @@GrisibagageSnnaa-qz6zw pitch shifting is a common effect used in audio production. You place the effect (plugin) on the vocal track and twist the [virtual] knob to make the voice higher or lower. Artists like Playboi Carti and Westside Gunn use pitch-shifting a lot.

      No one sings with an accent. Go listen to all the songs from The Beatles, David Bowie, INXS, REM etc. They’re all from different countries but you can’t tell by listening to their singing voices.
