Billie Eilish Calls Autotune “creepy” Which Fans Think Is “terrible”

over 2 years ago

Finneas says that David’s associates gave him the information about David never having to try auto-tunes before. Billie explains that whenever she tries to put auto-tune into the song, people think that auto-tune means you can’t sing. “Oh my God, this is terrible,” are generally the reactions that she hears.

On the contrary, she finds this funny as she admits she loves the sound of auto-tune. She thinks it sounds interesting and creepy and it is so much fun to sing with. She gives examples of other artists as well, like Travis Scott, T-Pain, and Kanye West. “These are the people that have paved the way for auto-tune as a tool and as an effect,” says Billie.

She doesn’t like it that people still think, “Ugh, they use auto-tune. That means they’re not real artists.” She then explains the process and effect of using auto-tune while creating music. Finneas and Billie then make David wear the microphone and make him sing.

When Finneas and Billie explained the concept of auto-tune, David said that he was pretending to understand whatever they were saying, which cracked everyone up. Finneas shows the tracks he had prepared and David says, “This, so far, is how I feel all the time.” Finneas plays the track and David admits he was feeling embarrassed.
