Most Hypnotizing/Melancholy Music Artists of All Time
Based off entire albums that create a conscious dream state, not just because they made three or four melancholy songs I.E. Eminem's "Haley's Song" or Led Zeppelins "Stairway to heaven" although both those artists had quite a few very great dazing songs, the majority of their music is loud, fast, hard, and not peaceful...
Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age. Since 2009, she has issued an EP and eight albums, including a platinum and gold album, and three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts. Evancho's latest album 'The Debut', was her eighth consecutive release to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Albums chart.
In 2017, Evancho performed the U.S. national anthem at the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump and became the youngest person ever to perform a concert series at Café Carlyle. She transfers more emotion to her audience than anyone I've ever experienced - be it joy, hope, sadness, love, tragedy, or inspiration. Now at the age of 14, her voice is maturing from simply amazing to spectacular.
Brooding pieces like "Moon Over Ruined Castle" and "Lovers" are difficult even for the best adult singers. Jackie delivers them with emotional punch and earnestness.
The quietest audiences I've ever been in are those watching and listening to Jackie perform - until the song is finished, that is. Then they become the loudest.
Jackie's performances at the 2014 Memorial that concert were suitably subdued and deeply moving. She knows how to convey emotion!
