Hi. This is a really good cover of a truly great song.

Your voice is excellent but doesn't have the weird and powerful edge of Beth Gibbons. She's got some disturbing menace and pain in her voice. That makes it kind of special though it can also get a bit grating at times (especially on a track that's not so good).

But I can't fault most of the singing except for 1:44 where the volume you're singing at overloads the mic and introduces clipping.

Lots of your phrasing I like a lot.

2:52 good job in mimicking the vocal effect of the original. Good attention to detail there.

Overall - an excellent cover that's very close to the original without trying to sound quite like Beth Gibbons.

Hey Carole, haven't seen you around for some time so i thought i'd pop over and check out your tunage.
I always loved the original of this track and you've nailed this cover of it.
Flawless from start to finish and it takes me back to the ninetys which was probably the best time of my life (for now)
Anyway, hope you're ok and it would be nice to see you on the site again.

Bonne continuation.

Hi Janis,
Again a good one... one thought: since it is obvious that you like Portishead, have you considered posting the vocal tracks of the two covers to see if someone could make a different music for them?
I don't think it can be possible to make a better version than the original, but for sure it can be something different and still very interesting.
Ciao, Domenico

PS: did I mention that I really love your voice? :-)

What a woman!! Truly amazing you are :) I like how this sounds overall. Chilled pace, open for poetry in expression of the lyrics and feeling you have to hold it. This is nice cover track, haven't checked out the original yet. I like this style of you Carole. This tone I favor of your musical abilities. Paints the picture vivid but leaves me in deep thought about you as the character of the song. You really can sing just about anything, wow. Thanks for sharing this with us, I enjoyed the listen. The music background and your voice are meant to be in my opinion. Great job Carole. Keep making music please ;) Peace.

I'm blushing when I read your comment, Billy ! Even if I wanted to, I could never match Portishead's talent and expressiveness ...
Just did it for fun, with a "nasal" voice because of a cold ( sorry for that ) and my budgerigar doing the background vocals as always ! lol
In any case, I love your enthusiasm my Billy and the way your supportive words always put a good deal of joy into my heart .
I'm very happy you came over,
Big kisses ;))

Nice job singing, I like the effects on the vocals. Nice song, not familiar with the original so I'm not biased when I say this is nicely put together!

Description : hi guys, so the object here was to write an original Christmas track that has all the Christmas trimmings but also brings home a few stark reminders, things that you don't necessarily think about as you selfishly open your presents with your families, i would describe it as a modern day festive treat, it has nods to the old, and the true meaning of Christmas, this is so not what you'd expect from dime, lol, tbf Im gassed about it :)

Merry Christmas everybody, hope you enjoy

Description : Description : Ever heard an oompah song? No? Well, today's your lucky day! Kayos likes to keep things not typical :-)

After a few mellow and emotional tunes, we thought it was time for something to lift our mood - maybe even make you grin.

This one's for all the free spirits out there - the ones who don't quite fit into a normal office job and are sensitive to environments and energies. We all seek joy from freedom in creativity.

Description : Please listen to the original version of Its Me by Speacarrier. She just picks up her ukulele and her beautiful voice sings the pain off her soul. After Rushes I couldn't resist putting her in a different musical bed again. I hope you like it.

A big Thanks to Juke 4060 and Takesbeat for your guitars.
