Mike Shinoda explained that choosing Emily Armstrong as Linkin Park's new singer was deliberate, aiming for authenticity rather than imitating at their reunion. Instead of trying to replicate Chester Bennington's voice, the band values individual expression in the music.
Shinoda compared the replication of Chester's voice to the 'uncanny valley' effect, noting that while it may please fans temporarily, it ultimately feels disingenuous and unsettling. This insight shaped their decision to prioritize uniqueness in their reunion.
