Been singing for about 6 years, I *think* I know what you’re talking about.
Let me know if you’re talking about this: I can sing Angel by the Weeknd very easily, and that song goes high as hell and needs a lot of power. However, singing other Weeknd songs (or songs from any other artist at all), I often cant hit those same notes with ease. Sometimes, not at all.
Songs that I experience with are only songs that I’ve specifically practiced hundreds of times. I believe the throat can get muscle memory for songs after you’ve sung them for quite some time. You’ll probably find that your favorite songs have become fairly easy, but due to the new patterns and strains in new songs, your voice needs to take time to adjust when learning.
There may be a more scientific reason, but that’s the simple thing. Maybe like this…
Your voice is like a river. The more times you try to carve a new path with water, the easier it becomes. Eventually that specific path gets deep and grooved, so water flows very easily through it. You can branch out from that very same path, but it will feel slightly different for a while.
… for a 5 year old explanation I guess? Lmao
