Tyler Carter and Usher
Today I have some music for you by a very very interesting artist. This song is by the singer Tyler Carter. He started out as a metalcore band singer. He actually sang for the band Woe, Is Me which is a pretty hardcore band, I have to say. Now here is where it gets deliciously interesting. This song showcases the big surprise Tyler Carter sprung on us because his vocals make a complete turnaround. And when I say complete, I mean he jumped across the spectrum and has nestled himself on another side. Because in this song, we get to hear how sexy and seductive his voice can be as an R&B singer!
It is quite the plot twist if you ask me. I have heard of punk going pop. I mean, there is even a series of albums that deal with that. But a metal singer going solo to sing R&B? That is so unheard of and rare to hear, and I absolutely love it! Tyler Carter is a beautiful example of the dynamism and surprise and utter talent that seems to get overshadowed or lost in the depths of the music world. I would have never guessed Tyler Carter was a metal singer had I not known he was part of a metal band, because his voice certainly does not betray that fact. In this song his vocals are smooth as butter and take on that sweet and sensual feeling that comes with R&B. He gets up in that falsetto range and does so in that wonderful manner that kind of defines R&B. His voice is wickedly smooth and subtly captures the sensuality which comes with R&B.
Tyler Carter also adds in a little bit of electronic work to layer his own vocal harmonies on top of the main melody. And the more you listen to this song, the more you can hear just a hit of that alternative band voice. But he uses it in such a wonderful way because he blends it in so well with the background instrumentals. The most we really hear that punk rock-ish voice is during the chorus and when he goes to reach the higher notes. But even then, he is able to turn that sound into something that has rhythm and a little bit of sex appeal. This song really shows off the entire vocal range that Tyler Carter has and his ability to mold his voice.
Now some of the perks of being in multiple rock bands is the knowledge behind music production, and how to be the musician. In this song, we hear how Tyler Carter has brought that skill to this new style of music. He definitely borrows some beats and electronic work from the production side of things but uses it in moderation. The soundscape is actually a lot simpler than it seems, and much of the sophistication and complexity comes from the vocals and their movement. Tyler Carter's vocals blend with the production, which usually includes a thumping bass line and buildup and EDM drop. But that anticipated electronic insanity never comes, which is splendid because that is where Tyler Carter's vocals really swoop in and steal the show.
Tyler Carter has the charm and willingness to step outside the Warped Tour scene and create something different. He has created something so golden and possesses this magnetism and ability to shapeshift between genres.
Today's instrumental song is by Usher, a guy who is not shy when it comes to using different instrumental techniques. This song has some electronic work thrown into the R&B mix, and honestly, compliments the stylistic elements of the first song on every level. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
