It is also free from effects, more ‘Something About Us’ than ‘One More Time’, the emotion coming through unfiltered and raw. Edwards’ voice here is rough and untutored, reaching for the high notes like a mechanic in a Hollywood musical.
House music vocals tend to be smooth – often dramatic and laden with emotion, but smooth nonetheless – with a certain musicality and technique. House and garage come from disco and, as a result, their vocals tend to reflect disco’s roots in R&B and soul. It was an unusual process, with Daft Punk asking Edwards to sing in the style of Foreigner, a British American rock band best known for perpetual karaoke rock anthem ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’, thus providing another link between Discovery and soft rock.Įdwards’ vocal is certainly atypical for a collaboration between two French dance music producers and a New Jersey garage don. The “reality” of ‘Face To Face’ comes largely through the voice of Todd Edwards, who collaborated with Daft Punk on the song, producing it with them, as well as providing the vocal.
