Being British and having sung my own songs it's much easier to sing in an American accent because the t's and the harsh words kinda, smooth out better than they do in an english accent. There is far too much pronunciation, I'm not sure it's even an accent as such - it's just easier to sing like that, with kind of - no accent if that makes sense?
Surely it doesn't matter if it is easier. If you are a truly good singer then it should be easy just to sing in your normal singing voice. If you are British then you should accept the fact that you are British and represent British music by singing in your British accent.
@drfranksy It's not like that - it's more to do with the flow of the lyrics, I wouldn't say he sings in an American accent, he just drops the strong British one - have you ever heard Noel Gallagher talk? If he sang like that, would he be so famous?
It's natural to adopt a different tone of voice so that harsh sounding words can be smoothed into others, it's nothing to do with representing your Country. We speak differently to how we sing, I.e. Cheryl Cole...
@Charliemajor I used to sing in an American accent but it grated on people but now I try and just sing in my talking voice (Australian) and it sounds a bit harsh but I kinda prefer it.
Hey Cosmo, this was introduction to your music last week while listening to Triple J on my way to work. Since then I have listened to every single one of your songs on youtube and watched a few of your short films. You are fucking great. Mind you, before I saw what u looked like, when I was listening to you on the radio, I thought you were old, chubby and had a beard. I was so wrong. You are eeeeasy on the eye and oh so talented. You are great and you cheeky songs make me laugh so much. Thanks x
The engineer at triple J was fucking awesome, such a pro. Thanks man!

@drfranksy It is common of british musicians to do that for some reason.
