Great song writing - love that guitar - and yes almost impossible not to think of Donald Fagan/ Steely Dan - but that is no bad thing. Masterful work.

Thank you very much! Yeah it's obvious I've got a thing for the music of Steely Dan :)
Thanks for listening and your beautiful comments!

BaoBou! Where did you get that raspy snare from? Man that sound fits perfectly. Now the opening is giving me a Rolling Stones Miss You vibe. Your vocals as always are raw, and inviting with a lot of soul. And yep Donald Fagen ish. Your guitar solo @ around 1:42 speaks my language. Youve been pumping the tracks out lately. Im digging your trajectory. Keep the momentum my friend. Peace.

Thank you so much Mark! December was a good month for my music - I've more or less decided which tracks to take to the next EP/album, so now I'll try to work more on those :)

Happy New Year BaoBou!
Your song is real good in every aspect. I mean I liked the guitar parts, I specifically liked the key parts, liked the vocals and the production as a whole.
My best regards, Anthony.

I meant to say "allow yourself to feel the groove", not "grove". LOLOLOL. There ought to be a "edit" feature on these comments!
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 2nd Jan 2025 - 4 months ago
Well, you can always claim it was a reference to Grover Washington ;)
Thanks for the well thought-out comment! Always much appreciated. I have to say I already did that to some extent; I recorded new drums and then new vocals - they're already much better ;)
Traveling this weekend but I'll give them another try later.
Thanks so much for listening and your great advice my friend! Happy new year!

You have a great grasp of the genre, which is truly a talent. This track transports me to the funk era of the early to mid-70s. Your vocal character is unique. However, I recommend taking some time to listen to the instrumental version of the track a few times while relaxing and having your eyes closed. Really allow yourself to feel the grove. After that, try re-recording your vocals. Take your time, being mindful of not rushing ahead of the instrumental. I believe this approach will lead to a much stronger performance. Sometimes ,as singer-songwriters, we need to step back, put some time distance between ourselves and our compositions so we can return with fresh ears. This works for me when I'm crafting a song. Well done, and Happy New Year to you as well.

LovePeace&Light,

Mykael

Mix sounds balanced, crisp and clear to me. You've gut a knack for writing really good catchy songs with a proper structure. Not easy to accomplish . And your musicianship is outstanding as always. Happy new year mate!

Yo this is super cool man. From what I've heard of you so far this is my favorite one. Love the groove and how it keeps progressing throughout the song. Nice work!
BaoBou
BaoBou replied 2nd Jan 2025 - 4 months ago
Thanks so much! I'm super happy how this one turned out given that I struggled with it quite a bit. Once I re-recorded the drums and vocals suddenly it started to click a bit more.
Been doing these silly tracks since 2018 and still trying to figure out a process that works :D

Funk in my lungs and in my ears, too. What a good start to the new year lol. This one reminds me of some stuff I heard live a few years ago, the group was an ensemble and they had someone playing a mandolin. Honestly, where I live, youd be highly successful on the Fri-Sat night venue scene (Ive thought about that before, too) Alot of your work just makes me wanna grab a beer and smile, and take it all in. And I dont even drink lol. Its just very endearing. U have what my football coach called "intangibles" - hopefully u understand wat i mean. Good work man.

BaoBou replied 2nd Jan 2025 - 4 months ago
Hahaha thanks buddy! I've always struggled to find other musicians to play live with - I did some gigs with a sax player, many gigs on my own... Most people want only to play covers, or else their own tracks. Playing in/writing for a funk band... that's the dream and it's the thing I try to evoke with these tracks. Glad you had fun and you and lil bro an awesome 2025!

Hmmm.... I didn't think the production was that slick... So uploaded a new version with I hope a better balance ;) (I felt the snare was especially overpowered, that's better now)

Description : 'Love will find you at the right time'...This track is about how we vibrationally attract love. From my recollection, in the early 20s/teen years, a typical place to encounter this wonderful force was the Disco. (Kay)

Description : Continuing my journey with sampling. This was mostly an accident, and not where I originally thought it would go but I'm happy with the destination. I started with the track Real Reel Switcher by Eunice Russ Frost, which has a slower melancholy swing to it, however I've been playing a bunch of older video games lately, with SSX being in the mix heavily, so this track ended up taking on a bit of that for inspiration as well. Would love your thoughts.

Description : Updated 12/2/2022. This is an interesting redo of a funky and fun composition. I gave it more polish by switching to a different drum kit, swapped the flute solo for a synth, then infused more flavor into the guitars, bass and organ. Then lastly tweaking the final master. Can you tell the difference? Let me know. Enjoy.
