During an NPR Tiny Desk Concert, rapper/singer T-Pain surprised the hell out of everyone when he sang multiple songs without the use of his beloved Auto-Tune. If you are pessimistic like me, you expect to hear some serious off-pitch singing. However, you get the complete opposite.
T-Pain sang multiple hits to nothing more than a piano played by Toro, including “Buy U A Drank,” “Up Down,” and more, and he SLAYED it. He’s no John Legend, but he is damn near close.
It is also important to give props to T-Pain for the way he can make a song about a girl twerking have majestic beauty to it.
Maybe after this positive feedback, we’ll see a record full of ballads from the Nappy Boy?
