Some fans of the late singer have taken to social media to denounce the use of digital technology to make her sound older.
Selena became an international superstar in the 1980s and '90s because of her warm stage presence and emotional singing style. She died in 1995, when she was only 23., out Friday, she no longer sounds like her early-20s self. Instead, these remixes employ digital technology to age her voice. Take her 1986 song"Dame tu amor," which was recorded when she was a teenager; in the remixed version, her voice has been pitched down a semitone.
The human ear is such a complex, precise apparatus. It will sound weird and messed up, no doubt about it."Her voice is timeless," said Brandon Hunter, a die-hard Selena fan who lives in Tampa, Fla."Don't touch it." "While I welcome new Selena music, it bothers me to know that her brother and others are unnecessarily editing her vocals," Moody said."There's no need to guess how Selena would sound as an older singer. Just give the fans the unreleased material as a posthumous album or a deluxe version of an existing album.
Rupal Patel, a speech scientist at Northeastern University and a vice president at the artificial intelligence company Veritone, said although some fans may be uncomfortable, the producers ofs haven't created a whole new synthetic voice or voice clone for Selena. They've just tweaked her original tracks. Yet, she said, the singing voice carries so much emotional weight, it can make people acutely sensitive even to tiny changes in the voices of the singers they love.
