The generation gap is getting bigger every day. Tony Visconti, the acclaimed producer of David Bowie’s coolest albums, has actually questioned whether Adele’s vocals have been “manipulated.” “You turn the radio on and it’s fluff, you are listening to 90% computerised voices. We know Adele has a great voice but it’s even questionable if that is actually her voice or how much has been manipulated. We don’t know,” he told the Daily Star. Adele’s pipes are beyond reproach, so Visconti may have just chosen the wrong person to make his larger point. “There’s a sound to pop now that is so perfect it’s boring, because everything is fixed.” Ironically, Visconti is now a judge on a U.K. music competition program called Guitar Star, looking to manufacture “virtuosos like Hendrix, Cobain and Bowie.” Copyright(c) 2016 RTTNews.com.
