Põlda is not averse to using some restrained vibrato, though this seems to heighten the perceived vulnerability in his young voice, rather than propel him into mini-tenor territory...One of the highlights is actually the final song, Caruso, which shows Põlda’s convincing ability to emote as a singer.
