He felt the song was superior to the studio version, due to its stripped performance and vocals: "The roughness of this version succeeded in a way the recorded version on 'Emotions' could never manage.

This leads to a high degree of interpretability, which is essential in some studies of the acoustic correlates of voice quality, such as male/female speech conversion and simulation of breathiness, roughness, and vocal fry.
This study aimed to determine the influence of native language on the auditory-perceptual assessment of voice, as completed by Brazilian and Anglo-Canadian listeners using Brazilian vocal samples and the grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, strain (GRBAS) scale.
There's the same roughness in the vocals.
The main perceived dimensions of voice quality are [20] voice tension (lax/tense voice), noise (aspiration noise in the voice resulting in breathiness and structural aperiodicities such as vocal jitter or shimmer resulting in roughness or hoarseness), and vocal tract size (or larynx height).
Each parameter (roughness R, tension T, breathiness B, vocal tract size S, and laryngeal vibratory mechanism M) corresponds to a slider.
A leading acoustics engineer, Trevor Cox, hypothesises that the noises we find most stressful are distress calls – screams with an unhinged roughness to them, caused by the vibrations of the vocal folds when someone is truly terrified.
Despite exhibiting Western-like discrimination abilities and Western-like aesthetic responses to familiar sounds and acoustic roughness, the Tsimane' rated consonant and dissonant chords and vocal harmonies as equally pleasant.
