In many musical traditions, the role of the szólóénekess is highly valued, often carrying significant artistic weight. The specific context of the musical piece or performance determines the stylistic demands placed upon the szólóénekess. This can range from the intricate ornamentation of Baroque arias to the raw emotional delivery in contemporary popular music. The term is a direct descriptor of the function within a musical setting.
