A term referring to a certain type of pop singer who appeared in the 1930s. B. Crosby was a representative example, characterized by a soft, slightly nasal voice and a style of phrasing learned from jazz. Whereas singers up until that point had been singing melodies directly in a high-pitched voice, Crosby's chic, light-hearted feel was well received. His soft vocal style also made good use of microphones, which had just started to become widespread around that time. [Nakamura Toyo] Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
1930年代に現れた,あるタイプのポピュラー歌手を指す言葉。B.クロスビーがその代表で,ちょっと鼻にかかった柔らかい声と,ジャズから学んだ節まわしを特徴とした。それまでの歌手たちが,張った声でメロディをストレートに歌っていたのに対して,しゃれた軽快な感じが大いに受けた。ソフトな発声はちょうどそのころ普及し始めたマイクロホンをうまく生かしたものでもあった。【中村 とうよう】
