Description : [Used to be "motherDrug"]

this is a cover of a burt bacharach/elvis costello tune. it was written for an amazing movie about songwriting called grace of my heart. my producer loves the song and thought i could kill it.
...jurys still out on that...but ive really grown to love it. its the first time i ever heard myself belt something out since i did musical theatre in highschool and college.
it felt good.

hope you enjoy!

Kill it? You OWN the song. Flawless delivery very nicely controlled. In a word moving and that has to be the goal with music, to elicit an emotional response. That's a favourite from me :)

Your producer was right....

you killed it..........

He's got great taste in song choices and you could sing street names and make them sound good.

Your control, inflection, dynamics, perfect pitch and that buttery tone....well, simply sensational. Not sure why you aren't famous, but if you ever need a Bus and a Bear to drive it, just give me a holler :)

Absolutely stunning performance OD. I'll shut up now and hit the replay button. Hope the holidays were great for you, and here's to someone discovering your amazing skills in 2013. All my best.

Hey there stranger!! for starters,your hats are super crispy, and I love that, but that wobble takes the cake....i love how you experimented with it on a hip hop track...the melody gives you this dark demented slightly middle eastern feel...but that wobble is what i find intoxicating, almost hypnotic...Im diggn this one....

im actually in a state of no production right now... i have been putting up older pieces for feedback in the hopes i can tweak them a bit more to my [and everyone's] liking. i think my ecclectic library speaks for itself; i dont stick to only one genre. i do, however, like them all and love trying to learn the ins and outs of each of them.
i would suggest listening to other types of hip hop [especially those without lyrics lol] before leaving behind the entire genre, but you seem to be pretty set in your likes and dislikes of more popular forms of music. and thats ok. i just think you might be missing out on some really talented artists.
as always, your opinions and listens are greatly appreciated!

The rest of the track is cool love the bass and the little pitch bend. you got a really cool track here

Description : Deep beneath this house stand forges no hand has lit in decades, their iron cold, their bellows collapsed to dust. Yet I return to them still, tracing my fingers along soot that remembers heat long after the fire forgot how to burn.

Every wound I ever shaped, every choice hammered white-hot in some forgotten year, still holds its form within me, cold now, but never truly extinguished. Strike the right anvil, and even ash remembers how to spark.
