Sing Next to Your Favorite Artists!

Calling all singers! Have you ever wanted to sing a duet with your favorite artist? Is it your lifelong dream to belt next to Tori Kelly or Jason Derulo? Although it may not match the real dream, Smule has released an app that can allow you to do the next best thing.

 

The newest Smule Sing! Karaoke app makes it easy for any two people to sing a duet. One person sings their half of the song, and the other records their half over it. The end product is a duet complete with harmonies and matching high notes. The singers don’t even have to be in the same country.

 

Though originally intended for friends who want to collaborate, even celebrities have gotten into it! They sing half of their hit songs and open it up to their fans to complete the rest. Stars, like Tori Kelly, Jason Derulo, Jessie J, and Luke Bryan, make their fans feel like they are singing alongside them.

 

These covers are starting to reach great success online. YouTube sensation, Leroy Sanchez, who has over a million subscribers, recently released a video where he and Jessie J sing her hit song, “Flashlight.” It has over two million views.

The company, Smule, is the creator of many other musical apps, including Magic Piano, AutoRap, Guitar!, and Songify.

 

This app is the latest craze, and has allowed fans to easily achieve the dream of singing alongside their favorite artists, as well as post their videos online to gain recognition and fame.
