Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine is speaking out against auto-tune, the downloadable studio trick that can make vocals hit the proper note and pitch. It's become widely used in pop music recently, and Levine isn't thrilled about it. He Tweeted, "Dear auto tune. Go away. You are infecting music and wounding my soul. We don't need you. And anyone who does shouldn't be singing anyway. Listen I Iove me some auto tune depending on the way it's used. But it's spun out of control and has sucked the life out of music." Levine added, "There are obviously exceptions to this bold statement. However in general I think it has to go. it's been a good run auto tune. Real good."

Maroon 5 is working on a new album, due out later this year.
