Muchas gracias amigo! Si, esa voz es muy special, Melvatron es un rapeador (?) muy bien :)
Disculpe, no habla Espanol muy bien, solo un poquito :D

Thanks a lot! Some trakcs just feel so natural when you're making them and this one I definitely had a lot of fun with :)

Thanks a lot Wayne, much appreciated!

Yeah, agree there, Vertigo is a fairly straight copy of Just Because. Still a pretty good song btw, people like to hate on U2 but to me they're still an awesome band.

Thanks a lot man, and well spotted :)

Thank you!
Ha, the story is funny: I have something like a hundred unfinished projects (that's not even exaggerating), and for most of those I have short clips of say 1:00-1:30, bits that are not terrible but miss something: some spark, some surprise, some twist, a vocal, etc.
I regularly download some to my phone to use as alarm or phone. This one was my kitchen timer :D
So when I was going through the acapellas (which I rarely do) for inspiration and heard Melvatron, I knew right away it was a straight fit. Well, straight... I rearranged and expanded the track, cut up Melvin (sorry), added a break, some instruments, the backing vocals of Charlotte, some fresh drums and hey presto, it was done ;)
Easy peasy lemon squeezy as we say in London!

I'm a fan of FF, so I like that comparison - although I think they're pretty different ;)
Thanks for listening man! Rock on!

Thank you Maj!

The vocals are by Melvatron: https://www.looperman.com/acapellas/detail/19311/disco-tribute-123bpm-house-acapella and they have a lot of reverb. That's his choice, and I decided to work with that :)
The Deee-lite sound is certainly an interesting idea, I will give that a go!
(The backgrond vocals by Charlotte are "cleaner", as you probably noticed. I generally try not to use too many effects)
Yeah, it's maybe more funk than disco, but that's my thing :) Thanks as always for your critical thinking and positive advice, it's much appreciated!

Thanks a lot Rita!! It's definitely not perfect yet but I learn a little every day and an acapella like this makes it easier to get to the next level :)

Here's a very first draft. Let me know if you're ok with that direction?

Note that I need to rerecord the guitars which are slightly out of tune, as well as the drums which was just a quick first take, etc etc bla bla, but this is close to what I had in mind for the song - I think it's still you, but with also a bit of me.

Ping me!

Haha you were so fast closing it again I couldn't even download it twice for safekeeping ;)
I'm actually in the studio now, so already listening to it on headphones and mapping out drums, and thinking about guitars, and maybe some horns at the end? I can't go crazy, need to leave your voice be the main star.
Also I noticed it's somewhere between B and Bflat, but this is the kind of thing Ableton can fix for me. This is going to be so much fun :) yayyyyyyy!

(blush)
In answer to your private message: YES PLEASE! (this is my only chance to reach you :D )

Haha, don't do your finances after midnight ;)
Can I say here how much I love your new track? I would really really like to play a bit with it, add some soft drums and a guitar towards the end, something like that. I would love to make that a nex project at some point.
Anyway, beautifully sang, great piano play. You're a true artist, easy to tell :)

Thank you thank you! The real credit goes to Melvatron of course, his rap lifts the song, and the vocals of Charlotte... but maybe it would be even better with your voice ;) (no slight to Charlotte).

I might leave a backing track for you (and Melvatron) to play with if you guys want. See what you end up with.

Glad you like it!! I hope I did you justice and reflected the disco spirit a bit :)
