The great thing about Adele is if you put her on top volume, you actually sound like her while you're singing.
I start by using Chinese and many of the sounds of other languages are similar.
If you record the sound of bacon in a frying pan and play it back, it sounds like the pops and cracks on an old 33 1/3 recording. Almost exactly like that. You could substitute it for that sound.
There's some familiarity in Celtic music, even if you've never heard that piece of music before.
Are you then unable to recognize unless it has the same sound as yours?
I've been to two stadium gigs in my life. One was James Brown and the other was Pink Floyd. They both sounded the same. I couldn't tell the difference between James Brown and Pink Floyd. I've never liked stadiums.
Nina Simone had such an androgynous voice; the first time I listened to her I thought it was a man, and I'm sure a lot of people listening to me think I'm a woman. Her voice is kinda like the poster child for me.
When I go on and listen to the stuff on the websites, I can't tell, it all sounds like the same band, like they should all be in one band together.
The soprano turned out to sound to me like the right hand on the piano.
Now I listen to all kinds of music except rap, which all sounds the same to me.
If you make it sound too much like a synth, it will just sound like a guitar part played on a synth.
In the mid-1930s, a lot of the Big Bands sounded the same.
I don't feel like my sound is similar to any female artist that's out right now, so I definitely feel like we just need some Texas flavor.
If you have music that sounds like what you cover, people won't be able to differentiate who you are.
Most bands play one style of song. If you listen to Metallica it all sounds exactly like Metallica, and if you listen to Black Sabbath it all sounds like Black Sabbath. I like AC/DC a lot but you can pick those sounds out on the radio in a heartbeat because they all have certain things in common.
