The sound like the singer is singing very closely to our ears even without increasing the volume.

Do we need more clarity? details? or something else in a headphone to get this?

Headphones with an emphasis on Midrange and preferably open I would say.

Midrange response or, actually, given most headphones tend to have a boost in the bass and some peak in the treble, that these aren't too high relative to the midrange.

 

It also depends on the recording - many recordings just have everything too flat on the same plane while some even if they didn't really figure in a lot of depth at least volume/gain-wise put emphasis on the vocals.
