Singers are connected to [[rhythm]]s, the underlying "beats" of the [[cosmere]] that manifest particularly strongly on [[Roshar]].{{wob ref\|7414}}{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|1}} There are numerous rhythms, and singers can attune to any one of them. Each rhythm represents a certain state of mind, emotion or feeling; when not paying attention, singers will attune to the rhythm that corresponds to their mood, but can also attune another to fit with their message. This attuning manifests as hearing the beat of the rhythm in one's head.{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|4}} All rhythms connect the singers to each other and [[Roshar]] itself.{{wob ref\|13451}} This, and their regular nature, allows the singers to use the rhythms for measuring time, among others.{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|4}} The singers speak and sing to the rhythms; they ~~carries~~carry the singers' emotions, as well as add meaning to their words. However, not all forms can attune the rhythms equally. Dullform can only hear them weakly; slaveform cannot hear them at all.{{book ref\|sa3\|55}} Additionally, those infused with the power of [[Odium]], mainly the [[Regal]]s and the [[Fused]], can only hear Odium's rhythms, also called the Rhythms of Power. Those rhythms, while similar to regular ones, are usually more violent and aggressive, and represent more twisted, angrier emotions -- for example, Ridicule replaces Amusement, and Command approximates Appreciation.{{book ref\|sa3\|i\|3}}{{book ref\|sa2\|i\|11}} They also feel and sound different than the ordinary rhythms.{{wob ref\|1682}} [[Soother]]s can affect singer Rhythms and may dampen Odium's influence.{{wob ref\|8424}}
