There are many health benefits to singing. According to Healthline, singing can relieve stress, stimulate immune response, improve lung function, and help with grief.
So, during a time when we’re all stressed about a virus that attacks lung function, we figured some extra singing at home might just help a little. We put together a playlist of songs for you to really belt, enlisting the help of Barbra, Beyoncé, and Bette. Hold those notes . . . and then hold them a little longer.
And so what if you don’t have the vocal range of Mariah Carey or Jennifer Hudson? Your secret is safe with us.
