Vocalist T-Pain is blamed on all sides for using the Auto-Tune program to make his voice sound good, but in the meantime, with a laundry list of award nominations, he just gets away with it. In fact; he can be found on nine out of ten hip-hop albums with a guest appearance. How does he manage? Many will say it is due to the simplicity of his songs. That he has to do something right, is proven by
… the CD cover of the new album Thr33 Ringz. A number of important artists who contribute to the record are drawn on the back of the cover. The fact that the guests were also unable to save the party soon becomes clear during the first listening session. The beats, which T-Pain put all together himself, are not innovative and have used the same formula for the content. He can be blamed for a lot, but the fact that the singer has come this far without talent is very clever. (GL)more
