Can you sing The Bones by Maren Morris?

Maren Morris sings The Bones like a house that is already standing: no frantic climbs, just a steady mid-range groove. The researched range runs E3 to B4, a 19 semitone span, with verses resting on the low beams around E3 and a chorus rising to a B4 peak that she leans into rather than launches at. That relaxed chorus lean is the deciding moment, because it has to sound effortless while sitting well over an octave above the verse floor.

Altos are the natural fit: three semitones of headroom at the top and only one semitone under their floor at the very bottom, which a light chest onset covers easily. Tenors clear the lows comfortably but face two semitones over the ceiling on the peak, an honest one or two semitone drop away from comfort. Mezzos have the opposite problem, five semitones below their floor on the verses, so a two or three semitone lift serves them. Baritones face six over the top; the architecture is simply against them. No verified key is stored on this entry; set yours from the chorus peak, not the verse.

Practice cue: sing the chorus once while seated and slouched, then once standing tall. The slouched take usually reveals whether you are muscling the B4; the song wants the standing version's posture with the seated version's calm.
