The Voice is a solo album by Bobby McFerrin, featuring his peculiar style of vocal improvisation. In contrast with his previous Elektra album, here the vocalist is unaccompanied by other musicians, and no instruments are used on the album. The album is the fruit of a series of solo concerts in Germany.[4]
