Chaka Khan has voiced her opinion on singers who use autotune in their music. Speaking with Page Six, the veteran performer shared her hopes for the future of musicians who use enhanced vocals.
“There is some great stuff out there and there are some great artists,” she shared with the platform on Monday (Oct. 24) during the 26th annual Gabrielle’s Angel Ball. “There’s some very fine young artists out there doing great great work that I am impressed with.”
After her praise, the 69-year-old continued “But the others, they just need to get them a job at the Post Office — they are always hiring!”

“People are using Auto-tune. They need to get to the Post Office quick,” the “Ain’t Nobody” singer continued.
She also shared her thoughts on women in music with Page Six.
“I feel very sad. It saddens me deeply that so much… insecurity is present in these girls. They really need to know that they are the gold and that they really are precious.”
