Um... there are many many many people who can actually sing. Autotune is a newish technology, how do you think older artists recorded?! They harmonized with themselves with no autotune. It's not that big a deal. I've done it myself, often. Good for Billie.

They are such a great team. You can tell by the terms she uses, and the references she uses that Billie knows her shit. She's so far from a teenage girl with a superstar producer.

Bedroom Artists/producers unite!

[@ninevehguitar]

Bernard Finucane Yes, and it has been for some time now. Indie artists now days have the ability to make their own music at home for not much money, and self-release everything. In fact, many pro mixers, producers, etc. are even shifting to home studios because of this. The old model of paying tens of thousands of dollars for studio time is basically on the verge of obsolete, so studio owners have to be creative and have more to offer now if they’re gonna her work. My band HUE(s) produces and records all of our stuff in a garage home studio. Dumped a bit of money into sound treatment, good monitors, good preamps, etc... We’re totally self-sufficient. The only thing record labels and studios have now that indie artists don’t, is contacts. But that’s changing too.

@@HughJorgan1 I mean, that doesn't really mean anything though... I'm not saying Billie's songs are bad and I'm not saying Elvis's or Whitney's songs are good (I haven't listened to many of them so Idk), but quality and quantity are two different things. So having more songs doesn't mean much.

[@HughJorgan1]

Trey Atkins...Good points. What I mean is that Elvis and Whitney wrote hardly any of their songs. The fact Billie has more...already...is amazing. For Elvis, he wrote only about half a dozen (out of the hundreds he put on albums) and I don’t think Whitney wrote a single one. They were both essentially singing karaoke their whole career. I have far more respect for artists that write their own music. That said, I’d like to hear Billie do some covers in the future. Her voice is phenomenal.
