DAVID BOWIE AND FREDDIE MERCURY - Under Pressure - Isolated Vocals - Analysis and Tutorial
Whoever had the idea of pairing David Bowie with Freddie Mercury for the song “Under Pressure”, was definitely thinking outside of the box.
What other odd mixes can you think of where two singers with very different voice types sang together? Let me know in the comments!
As we look at the recording together, we’ll see how many different effects were used to help paint a lot of dimension with a big picture of different vocal sounds not found in your typical duet.
I’ll also show you how Freddie gets his sound by compressing his air and manning up with his diaphragm when he belts.

I saw a John Denver interview when he talked about meeting Pavarotti. One of the things Pavarotti told him was he tried to sound like what he was singing about. "So when I sing about clouds, my voice sounds like clouds". That's what I get from Bowie. Really comes through on Let's Dance.

Steve Perry, I believe. Right, Ken? He was a rare countertenor- a tenor altino, though not as many octaves as Freddie as FM was a natural baritone. SP's voice was effortlessly high with a beautiful tone. That heavy touring wrecked his delicate instrument a bit, but man, that 71 year old SP is still kicking a**!

Along with very useful information it gives a lot to a self-confidence. After all, our idols are humans too, imperfect, struggling with their voices too. And the magic about their music is also a result of a huge work of sound-engineers, band etc. Thank you, Ken, for this series. I hope it continues, I adore it!

Ken. Thank you for this. In the 1970's there weren't that many music videos but I remember well when this song came out and the video of these two recording together was very interesting. "A singer is only a singer because they have the courage to be one." HAH!! I chuckled at that but it is sooo true. I grrw up in an environment where people feasted on each other's souls with a never ending barrage of snarky comments meant to completely destroy any self esteem. After leaving the area and creating esteem I found the courage to sing in public. Thanks Ken.

There are actually two or three songs that were recorded, but the one I would love to see you dissect is State Of Shock, sung and recorded by Freddie Mercury and Michael Jackson. Of course, the final version was released with Mick Jagger, but I would love for you do the one with Freddie. Keep up the great work!

From what I understand, the two artists did do some of it free-verse fashion. David and Freddie went into their respective recording booths and just grooved to whatever they happened to be thinking about at the moment. (There was also some alcohol and cocaine involved beforehand as well but I cannot remember which one was more smashed at the time.)

16:23 Wow, Ken! Thank you for explaining the harmony they do near the end of the song. It really makes a difference hearing it as a solo track. I like to sing harmony to most rock songs as I'm driving or just listening; and that part has always thrown me off. I could never get it right. Now I'm wondering if I was getting it right the whole time, but didn't understand the harmony they were doing, because it was dissonant. You're right, it's like they didn't want it to sound all sweet and nice. They wanted to leave you with some tension or anxiety, to reflect the songs main theme, being under pressure. Thanks again, this was a really neat discovery for me.

I remember watching a music documentary about CCR, and how John Fogerty replaced his brother as lead singer. His brother said, it wasn't that John was a better singer, but that he brought a certain emotion/style to the songs. I've always loved the human voice as an instrument! So much variance and uniqueness. Just beautiful! I find it especially interesting when a group has 2-3 singers (The Eagles, Genesis, Styx, etc) and deciding which I like more (prefer Fry over Henley, Gabriel over Collins). Frankenstein!! Ghost of David Bowie!! 🤣Aww, Ken, you're so cute 😉! I'll never be able to listen to this song again w/out hearing/imagining Frankenstein, a team of ghosts, and a sobbing-under-pressure-about-to-crack-up David Bowie!!
