While even autotune can’t save your fave’s life, In an interview with “You Know I got Soul” Boney James is proud to claim that LeToya does not use autotune! peep the interview below…
YKIGS: Let’s start with the LeToya Luckett collaboration “When I Had the Chance”.
BJ: I had really always loved her. I hadn’t been that aware of her when she was in Destiny’s Child but when her solo record came out there was a track on there called “Torn”. I was driving down the street listening to it five or six years ago when it first came out and I heard this song on the radio here in L.A. and I was like “Wow, who is that?” I just really loved it and felt she was a great singer so I had kind of put her on my list of people that I wanted to work with one day. I had this song I thought she would just be the perfect person for and then it was the whole thing with each of them really; how do I get a hold of this person, who’s the manager and do they have a record company that’s going to give you a hard time about having them do it? It’s a big process to get people involved and do collaborations especially in this day and age where the musical pie is shrinking and everybody is getting territorial about it. So luckily it all worked out.
YKIGS: How was it working with LeToya on that song?
BJ: She was so cool honestly and I really am so found of her now. Not only did she do a great job singing the session, but we both have done some promotional things like the Mo’Nique show together. She’s just sweet as pie, really down to earth and incredibly talented; there’s no auto tune on that vocal at all. I just really can’t say enough good things about her, she’s really professional and just got all of this bubbly energy and cute too! *Laughs*
