The Ultimate Disco-Pop Vocal Challenge
"Kiss Me More" is the lead single from Doja Cat's 2021 album Planet Her. This track is a masterclass in modern pop vocals, blending soft, breathy melodies with sharp, rhythmic rap verses. It stays in the key of A♭ Major (or G# Minor contextually), offering a distinct groove that sits perfectly for Altos and Mezzo-Sopranos.
To sing this well, you need to master the art of "the switch." You must transition instantly from the relaxed, airy chorus ("Can you kiss me more?") to the articulate, percussion-like delivery of the rap verses. Let's break down exactly how to tackle it.
Phase 1: The Chorus (Airy & Relaxed)
The hook is deceptively simple. It requires a "heady" mix. You don't want to belt this with full power; it kills the vibe. Keep your volume at a medium level and add breathiness to the tone.
The Trap: Many singers go flat on the descending melody lines. Ensure you support the end of phrases with breath, even when singing quietly.
Phase 2: Doja's Verses (The Flow)
This is where the song demands rhythm. The range here is lower, hovering around G3-A3. This is speaking range for many, but the challenge is the syncopation.
- Articulation: Use the tip of your tongue and teeth. The consonants need to pop to cut through the bassline.
- Attitude: Doja uses vocal fry and glottal stops to add character. Experiment with adding "grit" to the beginnings of sentences.
Phase 3: SZA's Section (Melodic Runs)
SZA enters with a distinct change in tone—brighter and more melodic. She utilizes agile runs that quickly touch up to C#5. This section requires a more forward placement in your mask (the front of your face) to get that ringing quality without straining your throat.
Contrast is key here: If Doja's part is percussive, SZA's part is fluid like water. Smooth out your transitions between notes.
