And, as Reynolds also says, Rihanna's Barbadian vocal grain "interacts well with Auto-Tune's nasal tinge, making for a sort of fire-and-ice combination", while other vocalists have "learned to bend with the effect, exploiting the supersmooth sheen it lends to long sustained notes, and intuitively singing slightly flat because that triggers over-correction in Auto-Tune pleasingly".
Autotune rap progenitor T-Pain, whose hit Bartender is one of the great standard-bearers of the movement, is sniffy about other artists who've attempted to use the technology particularly his old pal Kanye West, whose 808 and Heartbreak album applied the effects after the vocals were laid down, not before.Īccording to pop historian Simon Reynolds, writing for Pitchfork, T-Pain was apparently put out that Ye's album was critically lauded, while his own Rappa Ternt Sanga from 2005 missed out on the same universal acclaim despite commercial success. The way one manipulates the technology is more artful than many might have imagined.
