I don't understand why it's auto-tuned to be honest. Richard can sing perfectly fine by himself. Yes, that's what I was trying (not very successfully) to say!

There's a big difference between creative & corrective use of AutoTune.

Can't wait have the radio edit of the song. Absolutely perfect choice for a first single.

Finally heard it on the radio this morning rather than via the ipad speakers - had it lovely and loud and danced around my kitchen like an idiot with a big grin on my face. Can't wait to hear it live now

I don't understand why it's auto-tuned to be honest. Richard can sing perfectly fine by himself. I've listened for it a bunch of times and I don't hear any obvious auto-tune. He's singing falsetto, yeah, and there's some production on it for sure, but I haven't heard anything I'd call auto-tune.

Neither have I but I usually can't hear auto-tune so assumed everybody else was right and I just couldn't hear it. I've heard plenty of people say there is auto-tune, can that many people be wrong?

When I think of auto-tune, I think of this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co0tTeuUVhUI'm sure there are numerous examples of ways that it's been used with more subtlety, but Richard's vocals sound clean to me. I think maybe the overall sound of the track might lend itself to the idea that auto-tune might be used on the vocals.

I don't care if something is auto tuned or adjusted at production. As long as it's not overly done. I like this song. It's class. I've been at gigs where there were complaints over Danny's singing... but in fairness if you're a fan you're singing along. I don't mind all that about being a great singer. As long as the song is class that's all that matters!
This is a class song! Viva la Embrace!

I love the song, but from my experience in Sound Engineering I would say that a few parts are definitely auto-tuned. It's mainly the opening lines/opening section. Once the first chorus hits and thereafter it sounds like just pure Richard.
Yes it's a strange decision to use auto-tune if it ain't needed. I personally don't think it was, most certainly not from a creative standpoint anyway. Unless you're the Black Eyed Peas or Kanye, etc then it doesn't add anything to a song. Richard does have a nice voice but maybe he just couldn't hit the right notes....I guess we'll find out in due course maybe through a magazine interview or something.
At the end of the day it's not really that important whether auto-tune was used or not or whether one believes auto-tune was used or not though, it isn't used heavily enough to ruin the song and there is definitely so much more to this song later on. Yes, it sounds a bit weird in a song of this genre, but at least it's different. And hey, the whole SONG is different after all!

From what I've read - reviews wise - the autotune / effects at the beginning were a deliberate move to throw the listener and make them wonder who the hell was singing. A sit up and take notice kind of thing. Also a bit of a heads-up that their new stuff is going to be a bit more electronic. I tell you what has wound me up though; so-called music journalists who have written that this is Danny singing and haven't even realised that it's actually Richard, apart from the back end.

Most people, regardless of how big a fan they of an artist, don't sing along. You've just admitted there though, that if you are singing along it doesn't matter how bad the artist you are seeing is performing because you're too busy a, trying to remember the lyrics and b, making a racket.

Most people, regardless of how big a fan they of an artist, don't sing along. That is not what I've heard about Embrace fans. Well, I actually tend to disagree - and agree - with the 3 of you. You see, in my experience of gig-going (almost 20 years) I have seen a variety of bands and a variety of fans. Some sing, some do not. It's as simple as that. The decision to sing along at given moment is dependent on many factors, one's mood at the time is one example. It has nothing to do with how small or big of a fan you are. I've seen the biggest fans quietly standing in awe of their idols, and the smallest fans who may only have heard one song screaming their hearts out to every word. There's no hard fast rule.

I love it from 3.24 onwards but I can take or leave those first 3 mins 24 seconds. Overall, a bit disappointed.
