A vocal solo occurs when an artist decides to vocally improvise during a song. They are marked by either intense and sudden crescendos or quick octave fluctuations.
Vocal solos are very difficult to perform because creating a new set of lyrics on the spot is something many artists cannot do. As a result, vocal solos often feature artists singing indiscernible lyrics or repeating a word/phrase.
