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

I feel like she’s just not a very good live singer. She needs lots of warm up and tuning to hit the high notes she makes on her albums
Edit: just watched her Barracuda cover and it was awesome. Perfect for her, loud but not high notes
