What Charli said

In a post, Charli said, “like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a “real artist” is like, the most boring take ever. yawn sorry just fell asleep xx.” She went on to add, “but to be honest… i enjoy the discourse. imo the best art is divisive and confrontational and often evolves into truly interesting culture rather than being like kind of ok, easily understood and sort of forgettable.”

Her last note on the comments and reactions on using autotune read, “really enjoying these boomer vibe comments on my glastonbury performance. it’s super fascinating to me.”

Meanwhile, Charli also shared a review of her performance by The Guardian, which rated her set a solid 5 stars. “ps thanks for the 5 star reviews hehe,” she wrote on the caption.
