@@DavidDaGamer no, later in the video, she's doing polyphonics and hitting two notes at once. But the impressive part is that both notes are in tune, and she does several different two-note chords.
Yeah, sure, name 3 people that can "do multiphonics" in tune like that. Her range is pretty good, she hit a ok Db, and has a very warm and great low range, but like, come on, I've heard plenty of people with 2 octaves and a half range, I have never heard anyone sing 2 notes at the same time in tune like that, I'm not sure people even know how she actually does that
I used to be able to do this as a kid. It's like singing both falsetto and chest voice at the same time. Of course, I made it sound like a dying whale...
Same. Me and my sister figured it out when we were about 7 and 11. The real champ is Billy West who acted a short monologue for a throwaway character in futurama with this technique
When you listen to the whole track, you feel the band just LOCK IN after that. Even in this clip you can hear the band’s energy flips a switch and goes to a new level after she sings those notes
The fact that she simply sang two notes is incredible. Not only that but they were in tune and she did different notes too. We’ve got a superhuman in our midst.
Watching Michael’s (bass player) reactions increase was the cherry on top. He was impressed by the solo before she even pulled out the polyphonic. Then his mind progressively got more and more blown. The energy of the whole band went through the roof after that solo.
That's really interesting. I've seen a lot of overtone singing where you just kind of find the placement where your voice just kind of does that. It's mostly a party trick I think, you don't get a lot of room for stank lol. This is more like a breathy wheeze, but you can hear both of the notes clearly since the lower one isn't a lot louder. I think most people could probably do this with a bit of trial and error(I've heard plenty of people do it involuntarily just via a bad chest infection), the hard part would be controlling it in a way where you actually get the notes you want. She does that expertly. Pretty cool.
As far as I understand, overtones are more of an caustic trick of the light that happens when you have really tight harmonies (like, actual exact ratios)
@@GR20000 There are some tricks to it. I can overtone sing by myself, and choose which overtone I want to be loud. There is a trick to it, but it really isn't that difficult with a bit of practice. There are plenty of vids on youtube explaining it. 🙂
Except this isn't overtone singing at all, overtone singing is easy to learn, hard to amplify and hard to throat sing properly. It's simple in every way and simple to understand. By the way things stand and from what I've seen, almost no one at all can do what she does and I see no reason to think you "can just learn to control it and that people even do it involuntarily because they have an infection".
@@GR20000 Kinda yes, kinda no, there are many reasons why overtones might resonate. When talking about throat or overtone singing, it is a trick of positioning and shaping things around in your mouth or/and throat in a way that amplifies the natural overtones that occur when you sing (octave, octave+fifth, 2 octaves or 2 octaves and third, etc). Sometimes, if harmonic intervals in a certain range are played perfectly in tune, loudly, continuously and with the right combination of instruments, strong high overtones will resonate and you will hear a strong resultant/combination tone, if it perfectly in tune it will likely sound really nice, if not it will sound bit muddy and not clear and depending on the notes, it will weird
Overtone singing is definitely not too hard to learn and there’s lots of ways to do it. But the ability to improvise throwing it into a cadenza is pure musical genius.
@@musomaster9027 this isn't overtone singing, and the technique isn't well understood yet, but a number of vocalists have been able to do it. Needs more attention and research though.
@@Blyfh I don’t really know any agreed upon name that wouldn’t be confusing. I usually just call it the Lalah Hathaway technique for convenience just because she’s the most common point of reference. Beatboxers who use it call it “Polyphonic Voice” but this won’t be clear to people unfamiliar with beatboxing terminology, because there are several Polyphonic singing techniques and so people might assume you mean overtone singing or something else. Hopefully when the singing community becomes more aware of it and more research is done on it people will figure out an appropriate name to refer to it.
I have been a polyphonic overtone singer for 30 years and it isn't what she did. She sung one note with her vocal cords and another with her false chords. Though unusual, we hear similar effects from the throat singers of Mongolia. If you want to be an amazing singer, become an overtone singer. It will take 3 years of practice to get good and 10 to become amazing, but that is the same with any musical instrument, and the voice is much more than any musical instrument. It is shocking to think that people can't sing and won't learn when voice was what made humanity amazing
what you'll have learnt in a barbershop class is most likely overtone singing, which I dont think this is, other comments have explained that she can actually vibrate her vocal chords at two distinct frequencies, both then with their own overtone series
What the heck... I play music since my 3yo... i'm 35 now. I have an absolute hearing, I learned piano and guitar like by myself. I can play Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, jazz, blues, rock, hard rock, metal,... I never heard a singing like this. As pure as clear water. Those harmonies... jesus what a blessing !
A lot of beatboxers are also doing this polyphonic singing technique. Stitch - Feels Like Nothing is a good example of this and another cool technique.
@@Ranakade she's great! I just wanted to share other vocalists using the technique in a different context. Its not a competition, so we can listen to and appreciate all different uses and learn from the mindblowing things they discover.
I have been singing along to bands that do complex vocal harmonies for years, and I have been convinced that I'm not _really_ imitating the sound. I don't know how I do it - but in my ears it sounds just like that! So cool to see someone actually do it. Lol Now I have to figure out whether I am or not and how to do it on purpose. ^_^
Nice. Lovely to see the world explore "new things" she does this fine tho. This has actually been discovered a long time ago also the beatbox community discovered several different ways to perfom "double voice/poly-voice" as they call it and that's actually something they discovered through singing few years ago and are now using in a really cool insperational ways as performers.
Lol, ngl, we used to practice these sorts of things in Jazz school during breaks between us classmates. 😂 But obviously we couldn’t do it in tune like she did here. She sounded so good like she has some effects on it. Crazy good stuff man.
"you can't sing TWO notes at once!" Indeed, I can not. But some can - and some can even better. It's about 8 Years ago when I discovered "polyphonic overtone singing - by Anna-Maria Hefele" here on RUclips. Amazing!
This sounds like a similar technique to multiphonics in brass instruments. A technique where you play a note and sing (or simply vocalize) another. I assume (but don't know) that she is singing the lower note and whistling ('playing') the higher note. No vocal chord splitting required. And yet a deeply impressive technique!!
@@ElliotJenkins Yeah, I was able to do this a while ago (but stopped doing it, so not sure if I can do it any more), and it's basically between falsetto and your normal voice.
For all the people in the comments wondering where to find more polyphonic stuff, the Malaysian beatboxer known as Stitch is also known for doing similar stuff so go check them out as well
She didn't just pull off the poly- she did different chords IN TUNE. Like dang, man.
You should check out a beatboxer that goes by Stitch. Specifically a wildcard he did titled ‘Feels Like Nothing’.
@@cole6011 Esh! I've seen it, its super cool. Haha. You never know when you'll run into someone from the BBX community.
Are you talking about 0:15? There's background singers singing those chords, you can see them in the video a few seconds after.

I can still do it, just not on purpose. That's the thing; I can make a lot of sounds, but most of them I cannot recall and make on demand.

Agree. Felt that too
Glad someone else felt that too! Drummer laid some stank on that flam and the rest of the band just followed his lead to where they all wanted to go!
Beatboxers do this a lot in many different ways. I believe it's called "poly-voice" or something like that. It's soo dope!
Yes bro,poly or double voice.
I have never heard a beat boxer do this.
@@Drfresh1402 i highly recommend checking it out. They can get quite clever with this technique
