The RandB sensation and OVO signee reveals his unorthodox vocal preparation methods after announcing that he will hit the road while riding the success of his latest album.
- June 12, 2024
AceShowbiz - Earlier this year, R&B singer and OVO signee PARTYNEXTDOOR dropped his new album "PND4". It arrived on a wave of fan hype as his first new album since 2020's "PARTYMOBILE". The album is the fourth in his self-titled series, which dates back to 2013 and last saw a release in 2016.
The album has already sparked hits like "Resentment" and "Her Old Friends", which have racked up more than 35 and 25 million streams on Spotify respectively. Three other tracks from the record have also cleared the 15 million stream mark.
While PARTYNEXTDOOR is well-known for his singing, it's the versatility of his vocals that came up during a recent interview. The singer revealed that he treats his voice like an instrument and described some unique tactics he employs to achieve his various singing styles. For instance, for songs that require a raspy voice, he mentioned that a simple shot of vodka can help get him there.
However, he had a unique tactic for achieving his purest vocal tone possible, taking boiling water that's running dangerously hot and holding it in the back of his throat to shock his vocal cords. This revelation highlights the lengths to which the artist goes to deliver his best performance.
Alongside the new album, PARTYNEXTDOOR announced a new tour. Fans will be able to catch him starting later this month and running until August on the "Sorry I'm Outside" tour. He previewed the tour and the new album with a performance at Rolling Loud Los Angeles earlier this year.
