Amy Winehouse’s ‘Stronger Than Me’
This iconic song requires the utilization of a unique vocal technique – twang. Twang’s nasal resonance helps to create a distinct tone. Apart from Amy Winehouse, artists like Adele and Elvis Presley have used this technique effectively in their songs, “Rolling In The Deep” and “Hound Dog” respectively.
Understanding Twang
Twang refers to a specific voice quality achieved when the larynx is narrow. This results in a bright, focused sound often associated with country singing or blues music. It can add a unique dimension to every syllable. Here is an article explaining this technique in detail, and a video exercise to practice it.

Learning the Song
