Singing Locked Out of Heaven: what your voice is in for
Locked Out of Heaven is a high-wire act disguised as a party. The researched range, A#3 to A5, tops out at the very edge of even soprano territory because the chorus of this Bruno Mars hit leaps into full-voiced shouts near the top and the bridge sustains them. The deciding moment is the chorus peak: it arrives early, repeats often, and the 144 BPM groove gives you no time to reset between attempts.
The technique is a bright, twangy mix with real chest engagement: the record's top notes are yelled musically, not floated, and imitating them softly reads as timid. Sopranos are only two semitones shy at the bottom and otherwise fit; the page's key math even nudges a soprano one semitone up to F# major. Mezzos face four semitones over the ceiling and do well with the two semitone drop to D# major. Male voices should be honest: this sits far above the tenor band in the original key, and most men perform it with strategic octave drops in the verses and a high mix or falsetto chorus.
Practice cue: shout-sing the chorus hook once at a comfortable pitch, then chase that same physical ease up in semitones. The moment ease disappears is your real key.
