    Not into Swift too much but Eilish is the most refreshing popular artist that I've heard in years.  I cant even put her in a genre.  Its like indie, pop, rock, etc.

    If only she chose to sing rather than whisper.

    Whatever it is it suits the tunes.  Rappers talk.  Some rock singers just shout.  Thom Yorke does a mixture of whispering and crooning.  I dont need every artist to go full out Michael Bolton :lol:   Whatever works.  Its different
