Last week, Pain released a statement announcing his disassociation with auto-tune.

“I vow right here, right now, to never use Auto-Tune again,” T-Pain said in a statement. “I’m onto something that I think is bigger and better called ‘The T-Pain Effect.'” (All Hip Hop)

While a confirmed release date has not yet been revealed, Pain is currently putting together a new album.

Revolver is coming,” he promised in an interview. “We’re just trying to see…It’s hard to sell records unless you’re Susan Boyle, I guess. Nobody is selling records. I should compete on ‘American Idol’ the way they’re selling records when they come off of there. I need to be a part of that competition. I don’t know if they let you use Auto-Tune, but if they do, I’m a shoo-in. I’m two shoes in! I’m a pair of shoes in.” (MTV)
