Fans aren’t feeling Andile Mpisane’s new autotune sound. The musician performed his song Ubala for a crowd and he switched things up a bit. He asked the DJ to turn down the beat and he started singing in autotune. Mzansi has mixed reactions to his autotune voice.
Tweeps who didn’t feel his vibe had the following to say
Tweeps disapproved of his autotune voice from the onset. Some said Andile should ask Sithelo for music-making tips. One tweep said the 21 year old is abusing autotune already. Another tweep said Shauwn Mkhize should pay for putting Mzansi under the pain of listening to Andile’s music. Some comments came from people who were laughing at Def Jam Records for signing Andile.
When Andile was performing his song there were Ubala visuals on the screen behind him. Mind you Andile has been teasing the song for ages now. He hasn’t dropped both the song and the visuals.
Sithelo’s name gets dragged into the mess
Since the 2021 December wedding of Andile and Tamia Mpisane Sithelo’s name gets dragged into conversations about Andile. As mentioned some tweeps said the Royal AM chairman should ask Sithelo for tips on how to make music. As we know Sithelo is an impressive DJ and she has hits like Wena and her latest release Hell and Back.
Some Twitter users just turned the conversation to be about Sithelo. Someone asked if it’s true that Sithelo and Mr JazzQ are an item and the attention was divided.
Other Mzansi artists killing autotune
Andile is not the only artist in Mzansi who uses autotune. Rapper AKA started experimenting with the sound some years ago and he perfected it. In his songs though he uses his natural voice and switches to autotune.
Makhadzi is another artist who uses autotune to produce her hits. Makhadzi can sing naturally but autotune gives her an extra flair.
