A Blaze of Light in Every Word by Victoria Malawey

A Blaze of Light in Every Word presents a new conceptual model for analyzing vocal delivery, bringing clarity to the relationship between the singing voice in pop music and its greater emotional signification for listeners.

A Blaze of Light is a valuable addition to the field of music theory and analysisMalawey combines various bodies of scholarship while proposing an original model for understanding and analyzing the sound of the singing voice. Because of its engaging tone, clear explanation of complex parameters, and thorough survey of literature, the book will be a helpful pedagogical resource. * Michèle Duguay, Music Theory Online *
This is the first 'complete' study of the popular singing voice. It will of course be a benchmark study for anyone doing research on the popular singing voice, performativity, and musical signification. * Kevin Holm-Hudson, Professor of Music Theory, University of Kentucky *
