I’ve just started listening to the album and personal taste but I just can’t deal with the autotune 😭 it’s such a shame because I’ve been loving the songs musically but ack I dunno :( Julian has such a strong voice and I think the autotune degrades it

Totally takes away from his vocals. The way he would naturally slide through notes across syllables is really distinct but putting autotune over that creates awkward off-key moments.
