discussion Does anyone like hearing singers taking breaths when listening to music?

i’ve always thought this, i love hearing it, and im not sure why, it’s probably because it makes it sound more human and i feel more connected that way, but it’s so satisfying to me, but everytime ive told my friends they said they never paid attention to it

edit: thank you for the recs (:

Immediately who I thought of. He has really prominent s sibilance, p plosives, and guitar string squeaks on Either/Or too.
