Description : It is once again a stunning vocal performance from Patricia. Listen carefully to the lower range of notes this lady is capable of singing with ease and amazing texture. She is truly gifted and talented and it's is always a very rewarding experience collaborating with her. Thank you Patricia.

I have used EZkeys for the piano (a recent acquisition) and EZdrums for the kit. The remaining patches are from Logic Pro 9. The single note pick guitar rhythmic thing is my Casio MG510 and the solo (with a patch from Logic) my Godin xtsa. There is a guiro, some congas and a triangle for additional percussion too.

I have tried to be as minimal as I dare with this and hope the lazy feel and mix provides a nice backdrop for the vocals. I've put the genre as pop but I'm really not sure!!

Your comments and feedback are always welcome. Enjoy.

this has all the perfectionism of steely dan without the sterile after-effects of overproduction - ya pared this down to the most vital aspects of the song but left it breathing - that's masterclass, bro

Hey MStokes

I am blown away with any reference to Steely Dan - thank you so much. I tried to keep this minimal and allow Patricia's vocal to shine through. Thanks for stopping by, listening and posting comments. Much appreciated.

Hi Patricia

Have I rendered you speechless? Maybe I should play this track to Linda again and see if it has the same effect!! Ooops! Hope she doesn't read this!!

Great to hear from you as ever and I am now breathing easily again. So glad you like what I've achieved here. I went for the "minimal blues relaxed feel" on this and it seems to have worked well. Your vocals sound fantastic and I fell in love with your three part chorus section. Amazing.

I can't say much more than has already been said. I Imagine a cold night, a blazing fire, some fine wine with a hot date and this song bringing it all together for a perfect foreplay crescendo....Sweet!

Hi Dave

I think the whole concept of "foreplay crescendo" is a good one! I'm happy to be a part of that!! Seriously, I am knocked out with the comments you post - thank you.

WOW Richie. I come across stuff like this on the Loop and I have to wonder why artists like you & Patricia aren't on the TV & Radio and in the shops? This is work of the highest quality my friend and I stand in awe at your talent. Quality mate, pure quality and as ever your guitar work sits me on my ars* and makes me ever so jealous lol. Thanx for allowing downloads as this is going into my Looper folder for future enjoyment.

Hi VSS

Once again I attract comments from established and respected loopers. Thank you. I take your view very seriously regarding our ability to be listened to by a wider audience. It is highly complimentary. We strive to do the very best we can and comments like this are extremely rewarding. I am extremely pleased to have the word "quality" and my guitar work said in the same sentence - I am so pleased you find it good to listen to.

Enjoy the download and all the best to you.

Regards

Richie

Hey Ed

How are you? Always good to hear from you and thanks for the kind comments posted here. Much appreciated. I think PJB and I fight for the tag of "President of the Patricia Edwards Fan Club" and we both hold her talents in the highest esteem. What a wonderful lady she is!

Does it sound like Carlos? Well, compliment in itself. Thank you.

Best regards

If I was cruising the commercial radio waves and happened upon this tune I'd think myself very fortunate,dialling into my favourite collaboration team on a relatively obscure website amongst the cyber clutter that is the internet and getting this quality is nothing short of outstanding!
I just love the careful attention with which you support Pat's vocals Richie,it's just so considered and appropriate.....the way her projection is placed within the mix is superb,it's like manna coming out of my speakers...you mentioned once before how it's no small responsibility producing material that's on a par and complimentary to Patricia's skills,I can well imagine and it's very apparent throughout every composition you do....the placement of every element is almost like Feng Shui on a musical level.....the woman is amazing,the man is a wizard.....fantastic sound,totally on the sweet spot!
cheers Dave

Hi Dave

What can I say? You give Patricia and I such great reviews and always make excellent observations with regard to our work. I am gratified and humbled at the same time. Thank you.

Whenever I listen to Patricia sing I get inspired. You will have listened I'm sure to many of her raw acapellas and felt the immense power and soul she has in her voice. It's a precious and rare gift. Each time I take on the responsibility of creating a "Pat track" I always endeavour to provide the very best I can. I am knocked out with comments that relate to "careful attention" and "Feng Shui". Yes, for me it's all in the detail and the balance and it's pleasing indeed to have some recognition of that. Thanks again.

Best regards

Bonjour Richie ....

Still a "Jewel" musical, for this great lady of song.
Sound processing, is particularly successful.
High accuracy that one could say "surgical" with its components, who are perfect, well done and attractive ....
Just close your eyes, and this let guided, by his sounds suaves.
This is really excellent Richie, and once again "Chapeau bas" ....

Bonjour Dan

Comment allez-vous?

Thank you so much for you kind comments. "Chapeau bas" is a wonderful compliment and I really appreciate it. I always hope my attention to detail is recognised (your reference to "surgical" is nice) and Patricia will be very pleased with "Jewel". Thank you again for stopping by and listening - much appreciated.

Merci beaucoup et bonne chance

Richie

Description : This is a complete redo of a Jazz track I wrote a while ago and uploaded earlier this year. I attempted to remaster the original, and it bit me. So I bit back and here's the result. Jazz with a Latin flair. For those interested, I mastered this using the HUM JAAL mastering limiter. I'm loving that BEAST! Take a listen and share your thoughts Enjoy!

Description : What up LM family, next up is a track we put together last week, and one of my current favs. I got the stems from Nea Mera's remix of 'Make Em Feel This' and made some dope samples that really accent this track. He said it's hard for him to hear everything that I did with his stems, but I also know that LM is full of audiophiles who will pick out everything in a heartbeat. So Remember, this was your suggestion, Nea Mera LOL. I remembered to list the personel this

Description : Shorten My Days is a deeply personal prayer about examining the true intentions behind our relationship with God. It wrestles with the uncomfortable question of whether we seek Him because we genuinely love Him, or because of what we want from Him and the world around us. It is a plea for God to strip away selfish motives, sustain us through life's battles, and teach us to live in a way that brings glory to His name.
Guitar: Nameless.
