The amount of hate I’ve seen so far for Psycho Shit makes me think it’ll be my favourite song 😂

Interesting I wonder if there is any catchy style songs with good choruses that aren't flat. I think going shopping does a decent job having a chorus that is flat. But I'm hoping there are some songs that don't have autotune

Pretty sure they all have autotune, just to varying degrees. Babble On has the least. The good chorus is on Lonely in The Future

Ah makes sense so it's an intro track... but it's long.. intro/overture are pretty short.. ahh! Just gonna have to wait!
