It's actually quite good - while it's been failing him a little in the live setting, it seems he's still got it to some extent in the comfort of the studio.
Not to say it's a demanding vocal by any means, but he sounds like himself, whereas when straining while singing '39 these days he tends to take on a more harsh nasaly tone, I've noticed.

'One Voice'?
edit: ah, a new song. Thought it was a typo of 'One Vision'!

you know I was quite pleased with this song, just for the pure joy of listening to Brian lead singing in a studio recording once again.

I was a little disappointed that it was a cover....wanted to hear something new from Brian! But nice song anyway....

I think you've heard the wrong song (?)

The point is it's pointed.
And perfectly OK. But again the good Dr doesn't let rip with the old lady. :-(

I wish I could hear more of Brian singing in that song! Not that I don't like hearing (and watching!) Kerry....I guess it's just something about Brian's (one) voice, I've always noticed...when he's singing backing vocals or something his voice always seems to blend in and be less noticeable....but then again in Queen songs there was often Roger in the mix too, and he pretty much cuts through it all, if you know what I mean :D
Come to think of it, we haven't heard a new Brian-only vocal on a song since uh.....Dream Of Thee? Or am I forgetting something?

You forgot 'the call'...was'nt that in 2004?

'I Do' from Steve Cropper's 'Dedicated' LP in 2011, is the last that I know of.

As to 'One Voice'.....it's 'nice', it's 'OK', but I wouldn't have known he was on it without it being spelled out.

Do you think Anita actually goes along with his obvious 'thing' that is happening here? I guess she has a nice house to live in....

I Don't Want Nobody Teasin' Around With Me was in 2001, I think ? I'd say that's his last truly great vocal on tape.
