Learning to Sing “Baby” by Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber’s “Baby” is an iconic pop song that showcases Bieber’s distinct vocal style. A key feature of his singing in this song is the use of Heavy Modal vocal technique. This technique is often used in pop music and is characterized by a rich, full-bodied vocal tone that engages the chest voice. Other popular songs using Heavy Modal technique include “Rolling in the Deep” by Adele and “Shake it Off” by Taylor Swift.
