      I’m really glad you like it so much but I don’t hear that at all. The only familiar thing is Ela’s voice. And even that is auto-tuned so heavily now…. Is the old sound in the room with us?

    •  2 місяці тому +2

    I knew there had to be a new album on the way before the hiatus I'm so pumped and also so happy that everyone's doing okay now

    Can't decide if I like the autotune or not, but I'm really looking forward to the stripped version of these new songs!
