Patrick Stump
Oh, yikes. Today I thought I’d write a post about Patrick Stump. He is a musician I respect and admire, but yet again, there are a few tiny imperfections that annoy the hell outta me.
Patrick Stump is the frontman and vocalist for the pop rock band Fall Out Boy and has been with them since 2001. Fall Out Boy are known in pop culture for being one of the “emo” bands of the early 2000s. They released their newest album in January, entitled MANIA.
There is a lot to be said for this guy’s vocal technique. He has a piercing upper range, and delivers many boisterous belts. His belting range is not extremely strained, although some notes can be a bit forced at times. His control and technique in this area has steadily improved over the years. He has a very smooth mid range that is very controlled and well maintained, and also very flexible in terms of style. His low range is also quite strong, with a dark quality. His falsetto is good, and although slightly breathy, still resonates well. He is a tenor, and his vocal range extends from E2-C6.
He is known stylistically for having a very grating, powerful voice, characteristic of the rock music he sings. The phrase “soul voice”, coined by Panic! At The Disco’s Brendon Urie in “Drunk History”, has also been used by internet culture to describe his singing style. This soul voice was evident on his R’n’B solo project “Soul Punk”, and on some FOB songs like “What a Catch, Donnie” and “Heavens Gate”. He is also quite nasally, and is prone to being pitchy. He also enunciates strangely in some songs, especially in FOBs earlier work, making some lyrics almost impossible to understand.
OPINION TIME WOO
I think Patrick Stump has a wonderful voice. I love the timbre of his lower and mid ranges, and the refreshing control he has over his belts. I only have two things I dislike about his singing. I do not like how pitchy he can become in his belting, and I loathe the way he sings vowels and enunciates in general. Other than those two negatives, Patrick gets all positives from me.
Glow- Versatility in style, control and finesse in belts, and strong low and mid range
Grow- pitchiness in upper belts, and vowels/enunciation
Well those were my thoughts of the day. Thanks for reading.
