Upon sharing news that he and autotune abuse accomplice Ke$ha would be heading to the studio to record a collaboration, the ‘I’m Sprung’ singer sprang another surprise on fans (and non-fans) by announcing his plans to abandon the software. While most would attribute T-Pain as its popularizing force, the ‘rapper-turnt-singer’ is determined to ditch the overused voice modification effect for his forthcoming, fourth studio album ‘rEVOLVEr’ (due September 2011).
See what he had to say below:
Via Boombox:
“I’m done with Auto-Tune,” T-Pain said in a statement. “I vow right here, right now, to never use Auto-Tune again.”
“You can’t stick with one thing forever,” the Grammy-winning singer-producer told Billboard. “After you figure out how stuff works, you’ve got to start making your own. When everybody talks about (Auto-Tune), they pretty much say T-Pain. So what simpler thing to do? It’s supply and demand. You want the T-Pain sound? I’m gonna give you the T-Pain effect.”
Sigh. We know it was too good to be true. The ‘T-pain effect’ (aka the software formerly known as autotune) announcement was certainly a way to build interest in the new album. Rest assured, there’ll be plenty of studio magic tricks on the album for your enjoyment. Want to learn more? Visit http://www.t-paineffect.com.

The male goat has arrived,bruno mars watch out

@Kat Deluna fan…
Sorry,that honor(male goat) will always go to Trey Songz as long as he keeps bleating on stage lol.
Thank god cause T-Pain can has good vocal talent!!!
Liar
He knows he’s fos… Auto tune is his crack… He won’t be able to stay away too long
I heard him without it before…he sounded ok but not as how he would sound with autotune…he should stick to it…
He owes the world an apology for starting this damn craze of Auto-Tuning everything.
Dude never really had any great music, so how about he just abandons doing music altogether? Wouldn’t be any great loss if he did.
He should do what Britney does, mix her voice with someone who can sing.
Good to hear that he won’t use autotune, but I have no idea how his voice will sound.
T-PAIN CANT SING PERIOD. AUTO-TUNE SAVED HIS FREAKIN LAME ASS CAREER. HE’S DONE.
I hope so cause the boy is dumb talented so cant wait to see what’s next! Check out Trina for Ladies night @ Mansion Elan http://ow.ly/5KYZa
