why is the voice modification everywhere tho  i cant understand her

[sadness is a butterfly]

Powder is for the hot girls 

 

Just swap Light Shower with N&T, and Spider Web with Garden and it’s perfect.

 

The biggest crime of the era may be never getting a fully finished version of Magnets

light shower was the closest thing to a magnets rework we're getting

i think the pitch in powder makes it sound so emotional. it makes the song sound so lost and desperate to me it adds to the story of the lyrics. powder might be in my top 3 its so beautiful

NO. we've had ENOUGH of the modulations!

I think if the chorus or something was unpitched it would be a 10/10, showing the kinda two forces at play, his addiction and her trying to help. Call me up CJ Baran  I have ideas

Remember when she was at Lollapalooza and she started grinding on one of her dancers while in the new character? It’s giving weird.

i personally think she ate that up

i havent played the sims in so long but i wanna make melanie in it now

Powder’s one of her best songs tbh. Def my fav off of the album next to Milk of the Siren. I can understand why the vocal effects might not be everyone’s thing but they make the song more special tbh. I love it a lot.

[lightning tears]

being a charli stan i'm a sucker for vocal modulation so eating this era up y'all rest easy tho 

[Veinsineon]

Light Shower has really grown on me and it’s become one of my top songs on the album

it’s definitely pitched lol. She has some vocals that aren’t but they are buried.

I usually love vocal effects, but I think there's a few cases of them being poorly used both in this era and After School. The way the formant is used on Powder makes the lyrics difficult to make out over the beat, and in Amulet and Numbers she sounds a bit reminiscent of Alastor from Hazbin Hotel, which I doubt is what she's going for. I think over all she tends to sound better with a vocoder than with a formant, and in general it tends to sound better when she has distinction between the vocal/it's effects and the beat itself (ex: Sirens or the leaked version of Void, both having distinct but simple production under any modulated vocals) than when it's used in a beat that already has some synth sounds or is just a complex mix.
