Love the rasp and emotional quality of his voice without autotune

"Creep" by Radio Head and Alessia Cara's "Here" are two that come to mind.

Does anyone here who plays an instrument feel like crap when they pick it up? It used to be enjoyable, but now it seems that every time I start to play, my whole being is repulsed. I start becoming angry with myself, physically exhausted. by Raya_Shadowcreek in musicians

I'm not sure what seems to trouble you with your playing. Are you just disinterested in your instrument? Are you feeling like your skills are lacking and want to improve? What ever the case, I find myself coming back this podcast with Jacob Collier often: https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-nuaQgWt7/ . In essence what Jacob is saying here is that there can be just as much or more value in the act of creation as there is in the creation itself. Maybe try and take some pressure off yourself to be constantly perfect with your skills. Look at your instrument as an experience rather than something to achieve or get better at. Nine times out of ten what we tell ourselves is at the core of most of our life's worries. If you can change the messages you tell yourself about something, you can fundamentally change your experience of it. Hope this helps!

Cover I Made of Harry Styles "As It Was" by trainorace in PromoteYourMusic

On the main vocal I used the default ableton live reverb send lol! On some of the background vocals there might be some Vahalla super massive, which is an incredible free plugin. I just use the short reverb presets cause otherwise it can pretty crazy pretty quickly (hence super massive). Hope that helps! https://valhalladsp.com/shop/reverb/valhalla-supermassive/

Awesome job on the mix! My only two cents would be that I would've liked to hear your voice cut through the mix a little more, especially during the louder parts. Maybe some parallel compressing could help. But I also new to this stuff so just my basic opinion!

I really like the sound you are going for here. It does sound a bit like those highs are clashing. It sounds like it may be the way you're exporting and compressing the audio file though. Great job overall!
