Decca Record Label Begins Search For Singer To Hit Lowest Ever Note

Record label Decca have launched a search for a new singing star, but it’s one that most needn’t bother apply for – not even Canadian superstar Justin Bieber would stand a chance. Because the company is looking for the singer lowest possible singing voice they can find – to try and get them to hit the lowest note ever sang by a human before.
Paul Mealor, who wrote the Military Wives’ massive Christmas #1 hit ‘Wherever You Go’, has penned a brand new song – which requires a singer to hit a note so low it is thought to have never been achieved by a human before.
The track, entitled ‘De Profoundis’, asks for the vocalist to hit a Low E – which is just under three octaves below than a middle C on piano. The current record for the lowest note hit by a human currently stands at a very low F# (or F sharp), which was set in 2010 by American singer Roger Menees.
Songwriter Mealor said of the track: “My setting of 'De Profoundis' calls for a rich and powerful voice. A voice than can not only touch the heart with its sincerity and truth, but also make every fabric of the human body resonate as it plunges into the very lowest parts of the vocal spectrum.”
