Force Vomit - Singing styles

In this post, i will look at the singing styles of the boys from FV. if u were to listen closely, you dont really hear FV singing in foreign accented styles. meaning unlike some other bands around, they dont try to sound unsingaporean, or 'ang-morish'. Being malays, they decided that they wanted to sound singaporean and malay at the same time, as they are a local band. i feel that's very interesting as althought singing english songs in a singaproean malay accent doenst normally sound good, i feel it werks for them as their songs have dat certain malay sound to them, as discussed in my previous posts. of course im not saying dat they actually sang all their songs with huge malay accents, just dat their natural singaporean malay accents are kinda prominent in most of their songs.

in spacemen over malaysia, listen to the line, "so if you can tune in please listen so come on in please come on in we came to say hello".

for siti, listen to "don't give up, oh siti dont give up"

The lines above have quite a malay sound to it when mister dino and gang sings them. there are a couple throughout the songs as well.

i feel that singing style also plays a huge part in this analysis as i imagine that FV will sound diff if they were to sing like the members of say electrico, with their non singaporean accent ( http://www.myspace.com/electricomusic). So in wanting to achieve the mlay feel in their music, FV went about singing with a tinge of singaporean malay accent.
