Singing Slow Dancing in the Dark: what your voice is in for
The Joji signature song spends its verses in a bruised murmur down near the bottom of the range, then tears itself open at the chorus cry, which peaks at C5 and is unmistakably the deciding moment. The researched range runs D#3 to C5, a 21 semitone span, in a stored key of C# major. At 90 bpm there is nowhere to hide: every note is exposed, and the drama comes from the gap between restraint and release.
Altos are the best match and nearly own it outright, with the top sitting two semitones inside their ceiling and only the D#3 floor dipping two below their bottom, easy to lighten. Tenors are three over the ceiling at the cry; the page's key math suggests a three semitone drop to A# major for them, and offers altos a two semitone lift to D# major if the chorus should sit more heroically in the voice. Baritones face seven over the top, so the six semitone drop to G major the math provides still leaves the cry a semitone beyond their band.
Practice cue: sing the chorus at half volume first, full emotion but small sound, then repeat at performance level. If the quiet version cracks, the loud one was going to crack later. Fix it small, then scale it up.
