Did you ever have an artist where you hated their vocals, but loved their music?

[emi♡]

So, I've been downloading a bunch of things, and am taking forever to get around listening to all of it...but anyway...

I'm trying out a j-techno (I guess) artist called marino. I really, love her music. The backgrounds are really cute and interesting, they seem to have a lot of different styles that they have seemed to really wonderfully trasncribed into electropop.

So like for me, a lot of her tracks remind me of like acid jazz, mixed with music that could be used as the soundtrack for Katamari Damacy lol

The first track is an interlude...so when I listened to it, I was like "yes this is great"...


then the second song, she starts singing...and... She's got that cutesy japanese voice...which I just dislike with passion...

I think she sings in a higher pitch than ai otsuka...and cuter than ayu's girlish/honey tracks...which is just...not for me at all...So...I'm really disappointed...because I really like everything going on in the background...if only she just wouldn't sing! lol

Have any of you felt this way about an artist? Which ones?


PS. If you like...electropop, you may like marino! She kinda reminds me of like a cross between Perfume and Hello Project or something with a dash of r&b elements...but not really lol and you have been warned about the vocals~
