Pop Star's Vocal Wake-Up Call: Injury Led to New Technique
19 Nov
Summary
- Pop star damaged vocal cords on recent tour, requiring a vocal rest period.
- Learned new vocal techniques, including 'singing in the mask,' for protection.
- Injury ultimately helped songwriting by adapting to nightly performance demands.
Recently, the pop star faced a significant vocal cord injury during her 2023-2024 Feed the Beast Tour. This incident necessitated a two-week period of strict vocal rest, prompting her to learn essential vocal techniques for proper instrument care. She adopted methods like 'singing in the mask,' a technique she explains is crucial for vocal health and often misinterpreted as affectation.
Petras views this vocal challenge as a crucial learning experience that unexpectedly benefited her songwriting process. Adapting to the demands of performing nightly on tour, she realized her previous high-pitched writing style needed adjustment. She also publicly supported fellow artist Ariana Grande, advocating for understanding of healthy vocal placement choices.
Looking ahead, the artist is preparing to release her next studio album, which she aims to be a departure from her previous work, showcasing a "shape-shifter" persona. While current singles hint at one side of the project, Petras promises deeper, darker themes will also be revealed, offering a diverse and exciting artistic evolution.
