Shaggy sings in that dialect too, even though he’s from new york.
Most Reggae singers sound jamaican don’t they?
Are we speaking only of English/British accents? Otherwise, Carlos Santana, even when singing in English, is pretty clearly Latino.
A singer/songwriter from the 70’s and early 80s, Dean Friedman, is very obviously from New Jersey.
Remember his one big US hit Ariel? I’d never heard any dialect quite that pronounced in music before.
Good trick considering they’re Mancs.
It may be harder for me to pick up any accent she sings with, but it sounds like she’s just adopted the mid-atlantic pop accent. A tell-tale sign: if her singing was Australian accented, it’d be I just cahn’t get you out of my head, whereas Kylie sings the most unaustralian “can’t” with a short a - as an American would.
Yeah, Jamaicans definitely sound Jamaican. I have no idea what’s up with Shaggy, though.
A lot of Southern blues musicians don’t try to hide their accents.
Who could forget Robert Smith of The Cure. He got one of the most distinct british singing voices I can think of.
