I BRINGS THAT LEVITY

FYI, this album leaked yesterday. You can probably find it quite easily. It is as AMAZING as its cover, which is to say, REALLY REALLY AMAZING.

Well that's part of my problem - it's all terribly tasteful. And what's with all the autotune?! She's Mariah for feck's sake. I listened to about the first 5 and then, about 20 minutes later, realised I still had the album on. It completely failed to hold my attention.

I hardly heard any autotune on it! I've only listened twice but apart from 'Migrate', which songs is it on? I didn't think it was any more tasteful than Mariah's ever been either, there are lots of "whoa rewind did she just say/do that" moments: 'I'm That Chick' is full of ridic lines, she tries out JAMAICAN PATOIS of all things on 'Cruise Control', 'Side Effects' and 'Migrate' have terrific woozy production, 'I Wish You Well' has a massive gospel choir in dialogue with Mariah and a Biblical recitation...Mariah is still v definitely loopy on it.

Auto-tune was all over the place! Not in an explicit 'Blackout' kinda way, just in that 'you shouldn't really know this is here but it is' kind of way. And i don't really have a problem with it, but I don't get why she even needs it.

Yeah she herself is still rather mad, but it's just lacking any balls-out FUN pop songs for me. But I'll leave it there cos we're not going to agree!

I'm totally confused when someone says he "hears" autotune. How does one do this?

It's rather difficult to explain, but it adds a certain sound to the voice...years of listening to autotune fans have taught me well.
