Key Features:

★ “For those who don’t have the pitch-perfect pipes of say, Rachel and Kurt, the application will adjust the pitch of the singers’ voice. In addition, the software will automatically harmonize the singer’s voice, creating an effect that sounds as if three-people are performing together.” – New York Times

★ “Users can create their own Glee clubs to record a song with multiple friends from around the world, all singing the same song.” – Billboard Magazine

★ “The Glee application allows users to share their recordings on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter or Smule’s own Sonic Network.” – iLounge

★ “Whoa. Actually, I'm listening to four people singing versions of this at once. I don't think this is happening live, but that each person has layered their own singing over the track. Too cool.” – Gizmodo
_________________________

The App bundles “Rehab”, “Somebody To Love”, and “You Keep Me Hanging On”.

"Hate On Me" just released.

Additional songs such as “Can't Fight This Feeling”, “Imagine”, “I'll Stand By You”, “Lean On Me”, "Taking Chances", "Defying Gravity", and “No Air”, complete with lyrics, pitch timings and harmony arrangements for your voice, can be purchased within the app.

All music available in the App is specially mastered and arranged. The unique pitch correction and vocal harmony software in Glee was developed by Smule for Glee and is not the same Antares Auto-Tune found in Smule's I Am T-Pain App.
