Nelly Furtado says her daughter saved her upcoming album with some blunt advice… calling her out for thinking autotune sounds cool.
The singer and songwriter spoke with NME all about her upcoming album “7”… and she admits she went a little crazy when it came to the autotune before her daughter shut her down.
Furtado says she Nevis20 said auto-tune is not cool, period… so it shouldn’t even come close to his new record.
Plus… NF says Nevis reminded her that people love her music because it has so many dimensions — so she knew she needed to dig deeper instead of relying on technology to get the job done.
It’s a little shocking that Nelly would consider using Auto-Tune… because she wasn’t a fan of the technology early in her career. She gave an interview in 2004 where she said she never uses the technology. Check out the clip, too — she seems pretty unsure why anyone would use it.
By the way… Nevis is also in the music industry and helped her mother with the album — so her advice came as much from a daughter as a peer.
Waiting for your permission to upload Instagram media.
As for the album itself — his first since 2017’s “The Ride” — Nelly says he hadn’t stepped foot in a recording studio in three years… but felt it was time to create again.
The album will be released on September 20th… no auto-tune included!
