Krist Perawat should sing lower-pitched songs more often
I'm rewatching bits of last month's Riser concert (screencaps from Day 3 on the 15th Feb) and honestly Krist has such a great range. He tends to sing higher-pitched songs so I really enjoyed this rocky cover of Yours Ever by Cocktail (their music video) with Perth, Gemini and Nanon where his voice actually goes Low and it's really good. Despite being visibly exhausted (this is the night Nanon cried on stage and apparently kept crying backstage afterwards, poor guy) all four of them sound really really good.
This song didn't quite blow my mind as much as when Krist did the metal scream-growl for the Retrospect cover with Tay Tawan at last year's PeBaCa Concert, when I went "holy fuck I Did Not Know he could Do That!" but it was Up There. He's really singing from his chest and it sounds great.
One time I skim-read someone's Music Master's thesis presentation on Thai BL OSTs, as you do, and the bit that stuck with me was the heavy use of falsetto in their soundtracks in contrast to other Thai genres (I think the author tied it to the whole gendered characters thing a lot of BL has going on, where they're men but the subtext is that one is also Kind of The Stereotypical Girl - they literally use a term adapted from "female lead" to describe this role, sigh).
Which makes me wonder, just how much of Kit's career has he been singing way up high for - probably most of it? Which usually sounds lovely, but it's so much fun to hear him use his whole range!
DO MOAR PLS KIT, I AWAIT YOUR UPCOMING ALBUM WITH INTEREST.
Also he should wear eyeliner more often. Just sayin.
