Writer Jumi Akinfenwa shares, &#8220;First coined by Twitter user @TRACKDROPPA back in 2009, writing &#8216;Voice so smooth its [sic] like I\u2019m singing in cursive..,&#8217; the term was interpreted to be in reference to Corinne Bailey Rae and Amy Winehouse, whose nostalgic but modern combination of jazz and vocal fry dominated the late 00s and has dominated pop music over the years since (think Sia, Lorde, Shawn Mendes and Billie Eilish).&#8221;<\/p><p>They further explain, &#8220;The final result is what we now know to be cursive singing or &#8216;indie singing&#8217; \u2013 a style characterized by diphthongisation, wherein vowel sounds are stretched beyond what is necessary. The typical cursive vocal will resemble a child mid-tantrum trying to articulate their distress but ever so slightly missing the mark, with many phrases being incomprehensible. For example, &#8216;flood&#8217; becomes &#8216;floyuid,&#8217; &#8216;time&#8217; becomes &#8216;toyiuem,&#8217; and so on.
