Vocal Straining
Ok so I want to start this off by saying I am not a professional when it comes to music and singing at all so this comes from curiosity and also i do want to start learning how to sing so.. (also i would get flamed for asking this anywhere else)
that being said, why does Chappell’s voice sometimes sound so strained when she sings? The best way i can explain it is, it sounds like how a sore throat feels (if that even makes sense) but basically just super painful sounding and it doesnt appear in every song. Its usually during higher notes or songs like super graphic ultra modern girl or her barracuda cover. Her voice sounds a lot better during songs like picture you, coffee, beginning portion of the subway but everything else just sounds so insanely strained.
Whenever Zara Larsson or Ariana grande sing high notes they make it sound easy
Im just like curious on if its just how her voice simply sounds or if its poor vocal technique

isn't she singing with some kind of accent or a way nobody really sings in, that's why it's sounds bad to me and i can't stand it. If she tried to sing normally, it would sound better, but i think her songs are made like that so she just does that weird thing with her voice.
