Rihanna - Vocal Profile/ Range

Vocal type: Contralto
Vocal Range: 3 octaves. A2- A5
Whistle Register: No
Longest note: 8 seconds - 'Hate That I Love You'
Vocal Pluses: Distinct sound that makes her easily identifiable. Voice sounds best in it's low to mid range- as done in the verses of Russian Roulette- where it finds a solid tone, that has a slightly smoky quality to it. It has also improved, in recent years, in the chest register, where previously her voice was once nasal and thin it now has strength and weight to it, sounding correctly placed.
Vocal Negatives: Her voice can still sound nasal at times.
