Mastering ‘Stay’ by Post Malone
‘Stay’ by Post Malone is an emotional and unique song, requiring several techniques to properly emulate. Let’s explore these techniques and how best to practice them.
The Techniques
‘Stay’ showcases Post Malone’s distinctive use of Vocal Frys, a technique that involves a low, scratchy sound that sits between speech and singing. Vocal Frys are often used to create emotional intensity – a fitting tool for this song’s intimate and emotive atmosphere. In ‘Stay’, Vocal Frys can be noticed at the beginning of words or phrases, giving Post Malone’s performance a raw and vulnerable feel. This technique is also used by artists like Billie Eilish and Sam Smith. You can learn more about it in our article on Vocal Distortion & Growling.
