T-Pain’s been in a lane of his own for his whole career. Crafting bangers and ballads that transverse rap, R&B and hip-hop, the singer and rapper has ushered in a new era of contemporary pop music through his use of AutoTune and voice modulation. (Speaking of Usher, T-Pain recently admitted that he struggled with depression for four years, after Usher told him that he “fucked up music for real singers”.)
Despite such critiques, he remains a beloved and influential figure with a globe-spanning fanbase that includes the likes of London-based DJ, broadcaster and surprise TikTok sensation Jyoty. With that in mind, we asked her to create an exclusive specialist mix comprised entirely of T-Pain tunes.
“Say what you want, but T-Pain knew how to make you feel fucking special on a night out,” says Jyoty. “Whether you were a stranger he wanted to know, his favourite dancer, his love or even his ex.” Plug in and enjoy “60 minutes (minus just one song)” of being serenaded by the US star.
