Can you sing Levels by Avicii?

Levels borrowed its vocal from a gospel-blues sample and buried it in the most famous synth riff of its decade, and the stored range reflects that vocal's earthy home: E2 to C#4, a researched span sitting entirely in the low male register. The Avicii production makes the voice feel huge, but the actual singing lives where basses and baritones talk. The stored key is E major at 87 percent confidence.

The deciding moment is the long melisma that carries the hook: a rolling, blues-inflected run that has to stay loose and greasy at the bottom of the voice, where most singers stiffen. Low agility is rarer than high power. The technique is relaxed low-register runs, keeping the jaw slack and letting the run happen on air flow rather than muscle. Basses fit almost perfectly, one semitone of stretch at the top, and the page's key math confirms E major as their best key with no shift. Baritones take the three semitone lift to G major. Tenors and everyone above should take the six semitone lift to A# major and accept that the growl turns to shine.

Practice cue: sing the hook run on a single loose ah at half speed, exaggerating the slide between notes. Grease first, precision second.
