Episode show notes:

Most self-recording artists overcomplicate backing vocals, or ignore them completely, because they're having a hard time coming up with something interesting that really helps the song.

Both are mistakes.

Backing vocals and harmony layers can be the difference between a boring, amateur sounding chorus and one that hits. 

They make great lead vocals even stronger and give a chorus the lift that it needs.

In this episode, we break down two simple, powerful approaches to backing vocals that can completely transform your songs. And we're using real session examples you can actually hear and apply.

If you’ve ever felt like your chorus is missing something, this is probably it.
