The Hopp Stop

"I imagine that you're going to be answering this question an awful lot, but how did you decide to use Auto-tune on "Woods"? Did you have any experience with it before?

I've used it in certain other projects, and I've used it in really folksy, organic sounding songs, as an effect. It's a technique. People are like 'Ooh, Auto-tune is the new thing, people are using it, Kanye's using it, should I be using it?' To me, that's a hilarious argument, because people don't question whether or not you should use reverb. It's a recording technique, and I like using it, and it's really fun, and that's kind of it. Definitely some people have been like 'What's up with that?' and I'm like, uh, I don't know."
