Evidence and review
Individual evidence review is pending. The displayed range is a reported reference span, not an independently verified physiological limit.
These are the approximate figures fans and music journalists commonly cite — the widest notes a singer has recorded, not the comfortable range they sing in every night, and not lab measurements. Treat them as a fun reference, not a target.
How Maxwell uses that range
Whole verses live in falsetto, with a narrow flute-like tone that stays quiet and close to the microphone. Vibrato is slow, shallow, and arrives well after the note has settled. Reaching toward C6 works because the sound gets lighter as it climbs rather than louder. Powering the falsetto up there is the wrong instinct; the skill is holding a very small, steady stream of air and trusting the amplification.
