The strings remind me of ELO in some parts, was expecting Jeff Lynn to start singing Evil Woman, ha! Has a cool early 70's r n b feel to it, the cracklin' record sound makes me want to go get my record cleaner and dust the record off.
If you're talking about the organ chords from 1:40-1:50 they grated on me too, but I tried getting away with being lazy. I fixed them now by softening them a bit. Thanks for the comments, it made the track better.
Hi Neuromancer56, I really like all of the elements of this track. The instruments sounds great. At times I feel like the organ and piano licks at the end are not placed in the right spot. It still sounds cool though. A few tweaks here and there and I say you have yourself a hit!
Hi ronabo, Thanks for the excellent suggestions. I didn't like the piano toward the end either so I got rid of it and put in a little more flute in it's place. That sounds a lot better. I also took the delay effect off of the organ, and replaced it with reverb, so it sounds a little tighter. Let me know what you think.
Love the organ. Puts me in mind of the keyboard runs that the late great Issac Hayes would add on a Stax recording.
If you slow this down with a good boom bap type beat (there's lots of them on here, even from trap producers that have a throw-back feel).
You can have a soul throw-back that incorporates modern elements (like Alicia Keys did with "Fallin'")But you will have to get almost the same beat, as this sort of sounds like something along the same lines.
I really like this, and can't wait to hear your final version.
Description : you wanted me to sing again (thanks Manuela, Rita, Angel)
this is everything ive got guys, stepped up on everything, especially vocal and production, i almost didn't realise it was me :)) this ones for the ladies
lyrics are up if you want to sing along
Description : This is my little 16-bar sketch of a Soul-style track... my purpose in making this was to experiment with Melda's MDynamicEQ, which allows you to remove resonances, and to apply EQ's from one track to another. I even EQ'd this thing to sound like a 70's jam.
Description : I heard this track and decided to write some simple lyrics to sing/exercise my vocals since I have been tied up with other Interesting things so, I'm doing my own thing and as usual this is for my hubbs Enjoy bb XXX
Description : Here is another track we are currently working on for my forthcoming album, "Songs from the Closet, Vol.1"
Ed Cunningham was gracious enough to provide this composition to me for which I'm grateful. It's a groovy track and the lyrics, for the most part, wrote themselves. My project co-producer and I are working out the vocal arrangement. As per usual, this track isn't mixed. I repeat, it is a rough vocal and isn't mixed. I hope you enjoy the listen!
Description : Mark (mtking) made a remix of this one, I added some new vocals and then made his mix worse again... hope you'll like this version!
Kudos to Mark for a great job and for sticking with me and believing in me. You da man!
Description : "The Light of My Soul," written and produced by Richard Shekari, is a devout worship song that celebrates the transformative power of Jesus Christ. The lyrics express profound gratitude for divine intervention and salvation, highlighting the personal journey from despair to fulfilment through Christ's love.
Description : This song is a work of my late big brother RIP., Who happen to be a gifted poet-songwriter. I did the vocal as well as the music based on written notation witch, he always provided for his productions. Hope this song is appreciated. Going to redo in the future.
Description : I actually love the slight imperfections in the muzic, the slight imperfections in the vocals. As long as it’s ok with nln1 I will allow downloads, but even then I would prefer a better mix. For now, enjoy Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel.
I would be willing to send the accapella if you are willing to play in same key, same tempo, some similar version as here. Just message me. :-)
Sounds good!
