Sweet funk soul. Someone referenced the RevAl Green I see. I'd agree with that though this is quite energetic in comparison. A bit of hip-hop thrown in too. It's a really enjoyable listen is what it comes down to. I love the instrumentaion and your voice, goes without saying. Good vibes. Cheers Zoot.

Hiya, Zoot! Thanks for the listen. I'm happy you enjoyed it. As it turns out, this song is finally getting its day as it will be appearing on my forthcoming album. While I have released a few singles over the years, I've never done a complete album...until now. The song has been re-imagined, but the original bones are still there.

LovePeace&Light,

Very funky and soulful. That's awesome you have songs and comments going back almost 15 years... amazing. This one was already good and then you made a lot of progress too... but you can definitely still be proud of this one!

Echoes of Stevie Wonder here. You have a strong, soulful voice and that instumentation is, (for me), jazz-soul fusion. One question though, in the lyrics is says 'Seep Tight' - did you mean seep or did you mean sleep? This is great for a soul playlist and should be on Spotify for sure. Kay

Hiya Kay! Thanks for pointing out my typo!! LOLOL. I'm great a proofreading, but not my own writings. I think it's like hairdressers; many are extremely skillful with their clients, but not so much on their own heads. LOL. I'm flattered by the comparison. Happy you enjoyed the track, and now on to correct the lyric sheet!

First all in my ole school days some of the best tunes started in the basement! The piano intro hooks you right in - and when the Horns drop in I'm looking for my sweety to get my dance steps on! The vocals are TOP SELF and so smooth. Luv the Hook!!
Hey Al Jarreau ya listening a 3 play- GREAT JOB!!

This is great! What a vibe. I hear the Al J thing, but I think that might be more from the timbre of your voice. My ears are tellin me this is what you would have if Donny Hathaway came back long enough to sit-in with Soulive!! Sweet! Seriously, you're phrasing is very DH and the groove is totally early SOulive. Really looking forward to the finished tune.
Mykael
Mykael replied 31st Dec 2011 - 14 years ago
Hey Tony! Thanks so much for checking out my track. I am speechless. Al J keeps coming up in comments, and now Donny Hathaway! I don't hear it, but I totally accept it! I am embarrassed because I'm not familiar with Soulive, but will definitely Google. AL J, and Donny H on the other hand I am familiar with. I've not listened to much of Donny's material really, but I am a big fan of AL's.

You have such a big soul and jazz influence coming through this tune, it's unbelievable. The first thing my mind went to was John Legend. Extremelly surprised and in a really good way.

This could be huge with an apropiate mix. It has vibe's from the 80's to the present. I can see some modifications being done to the vocals in the ''I've been around the world'' area. A bit of pitch adjustments and some modulation and it's brilliant.

This is going into my all time favs! Very good effort!

Mykael replied 19th Dec 2011 - 14 years ago
Thank you, Mahloo! I very much appreciate your kind words. Being compared to John Legend is pretty awesome.

Actually the mixing will be redone and any other issues will be fixed. Vocals will always have to be redone because what you hear I did with my laptop, lexicon mixer, and a shure mic (not exactly pro equipment). Very fortunate for me I will be working with a grammy-winning recording engineer. Anything I post here is by no means a finished product and will always be turned over to a professional

Hey man

As promised, checking out another one of your works, volume on this one is great, so thinking other has an error somewhere?? totally agree with Nuada, excellent vocals, very much a Jazz type sound about this one, love this piece mate, nice horn section, nice flowing beat, this piece sounds very professional, this is a piece I would pay money to buy...excellent mate...massive...Peace...elsd...

Mykael replied 19th Dec 2011 - 14 years ago
Thank you ELSD! I'm thrilled you dig it so. The other track is my...ummmmmm...handy work, and like I said before I'm not an engineer. This mix was done by Thez...he obviously has a talent for the technical. I try to get folks to concentrate on other components when they comment rather than focus on sound, mixing and such because if I am doing it, there are bound to be issues.

I'm sort of using Looperman as a source for material as well as a place to get feedback as far as what tracks are received well, and what ones are not. The tracks that are received well (some) will be reworked professionally in terms of mixing, arrangement tweaking, and ultimately mastering for distribution (my sophomore CD).

Thanks again for your words of appreciation and encouragement!

I know you have this in hip hop, but damn man, this is as close to RnB as you can get.....you remind me a bit of Al Green - if he was a baritone. Great vocal chops.

The recording issues are all things that can be rectified with a good sound engineer and great equipment. Loved the backing track on this one as well.

I would love to hear a duet with you and MusicIzMee4Ever. That would be epic.

Anyway, enjoyed the listen and best of luck.

Thanks for the comments. We have been working on this since the posting, and it's come a long way; just a few minor tweaks remain. And...ummmmm...I'm not a baritone...lol...perhaps when I am a LOT older.

badword 6th Aug 2011 16:51 - 15 years ago
yes man, another liqwit font of inspiration(:.
very nice instru, i'd love to hear more variations but it's a personal point of view. as for the mic, yes, you need to put what i call 'spit-guard' in front of it, so the S & P will seriosly diminish their intensity. in extreme cases -when you have a micro without condeser or a cheap one- i suggest a de-esser: a compressor that cuts all shh and prr in a rough way. the voice is fantastic as usual, you've got a great gift brother. hugs from here, hope to send some music soon enough
Peace

Hey Badword! Thanks for the comments and support. I actually re-recorded the vocals using a pop filter, and the vocals came out cleaner. We are still working on the tune.

Mykael replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Hey, Thanks Derrick!!! Really appreciate the comments. The Loop itself came from TheZerit with whom I'm working on it. Not sure about the horns. What you are hearing is nothing like what the end product will be. It's only a scratch...a starting point.

Thanks again, and Nameste!

Sick sire. Faved and such other things.

I think you should send them vox over TheZerit side, because I feel a kinda .. rush on the beat.

As far as quality, I love the sound.. very crisp.. I would sub the pop-filter for a pencil over the condenser mic imo.. I mean.. it depends.

When you got those "sssssSSSsss" or "ppphpppphhppp"
basically the S's or P's you say?
You know?
You can block them by guarding the coil recording you by positioning your breathe before the mic.

Cool track man!
Mykael
Mykael replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. Yeah that is in no way representative of a final project. Thanks much for the tip about guarding the coil!! I am tech-challenged when it comes to recording software or setting up mic's. All of the vocal tracks were sent to Zerit, so that he can work his magic.

Peace & Nameste

awesome!! you need to send me the vox with no effects on it...You have a very good singing voice! the reverb takes away from your voice...send me the vox..........send me the singing, seperate from the dubs....this is gonna turn out pretty sweet....we are not finished...this is gonna be a banger...

I think you have a very nice voice, music is brilliant, I know you said this isn't fully mixed yet but I am wondering if you are going to put a slight effect on your voice because it sounds a little too raw at the moment (the backing vocals are beautiful)
I look forward to the final result, I know it's gonna be great!
Mykael
Mykael replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks so much for the review. Yeah, it's only a scratch...and it will for sure get polished. It's more of a "map" at this point to get a feel for where it will go.

Peace & Nameste

Description : 'Taqdeer' in Urdu means 'Fate' or 'Destiny'. This is an Arabic /Hindi/Bollywood hip hop /club track. The drums are hip hop but the vibe is full sad emotional club vibe. It reminiscences of a man crying teardrops in a nightclub. That can be the best way to explain the vibe of this track. Hope you enjoy it!
