How Maluma uses that range
Maluma works almost entirely in a relaxed low mix, D3 to F4, and treats rhythm as the lead element: syllables land slightly behind the beat while the tone stays low-larynxed and conversational. He uses light vocal fry as an onset ornament and slides into pitches rather than attacking them. Dynamics barely move; intimacy is the whole engine. Singers copying him tend to add projection and vibrato, which breaks the murmured contract of the style. Keep it small, dry, and rhythmically exact.
