PinkPantheress (@😘🙈☺️) sat down with @Oklou to talk about their use of auto-tune and the journey of finding their sound while exploring different genres. ⁠ ⁠ Oklou explained that many of her melodies rely on auto-tune and though she’s been singing since childhood, she highlights how she prioritizes the melody over her voice—a mindset PinkPantheress shares in her own music.⁠ ⁠ She also reflected on navigating pop music while growing up in a highly academic environment where there were many elitist views of the genre. However, Oklou eventually discovered a sense of freedom and emotional honesty in the works of PC Music, Danny L Harle, Sophie, and AG Cook which helped her see pop in a new light.⁠ ⁠ _⁠ via @dazed #pigeonsandplanes #oklou #pinkpantheress #pcmusic #pop
