BananaLu

I Love the vocal and the beat. Maybe a primal scream somewhere near the end would rock it out a bit more but the voice is great on here. Kay0s

Nice 808 percussion and vocal treatments on this one mate, not weird at all. I could see a segment where we go full-on hardcore metal, and then bring it right back down again.

Vibrant! This track is a killer! I love the concept; the beat and the cool vocalsIm really enjoying it!

Our track is now up and flying high.

Very original well produced...

Hey Banana,
was fuer ein guter Fusionsmix. Sehr interessant. Ich finde deine Stimme hier sehr gut. Super sound.
Greetings
Matthias

Always loved your stuff BL - whether your plucking a old guitar and giving a heartfelt natural vocal performance or going classy new wave there's an energy and originality that sets you apart. This is wonderful and the combo of dubstep with the dark new wave elements fits with the breathless poignancy of the vocal

Pretty wild man, love your vox as always. I'd call this more fusion than weird, there's even a dub influence in there to me, and electronica of course. Which reminds me, here's a dub thing I did a while back. Maybe it might take your fancy to do something with. Could easily tweak it. I'll let you know if I come up with anything else I think might work.

Honestly, I don't really think this needs any work at all, dude. I think it sounds great just as it is. However, since you were looking to do a bit of a Heavy Metal crossover, I may be able to help with that. Let me play around with it, and see what happens. I'll post an updated metal mix when I get it done. Or, would you prefer to check it out before I release it into the wild?

Overall, I really like your style. It's kind of stand-alone, (which is good), but still has traces of some great artists in there. Just in this song, I hear Joe Strummer, Soul Coughing, Eminem, Puscifer, and just a micro-dose of Tom Waits. You really have a great command over your voice, and know how to use it well.
Anyhow, for the time being, I'll get to work on adding some metal elements to this one, and see if it's anything you like.
Take care, Mr. Banana.

Nice weird best, keep it coming

It is a very powerful song with the vocal part being the protagonist. You are right, it would be great if you could add guitar tracks and possibly some drum hits.
Excellent work BananaLu
Cheers, Anthony

not my style, definatly wierd lol, but hey its well mixed and produced so good job!

Just wanted to follow up ur answer to my comment, I really appreciate the love, man. I think sometimes, when we experiment or go out of our comfort zone, we need a little wink and a nudge to keep going in that direction. The feedback I've received has done just that. I just finished the 3rd track for the Halloween drop, and it's towing the line between trap & Hip Hop/metal even more than the other 2. Whenever everything is done, I'll try and find a way to share it, so hopefully u can hear it. I also used a live bassline for part of the track, not something I do often, because I take pride in my basslines. But for a collaboration, that takes a backseat. Id love to have a real bassline to use. Very Much appreciate the love man.

Danke, liebe Gruesse Manuela

the Lu that so much grabbed me, that musical personality that he owns, i always said from our first meeting keep being you, so unique and original, i can be on your side always Lu i love a Banana too, you wear your heart on your sleeve BN gave a great review and i could only repeat that, its so cool to have you back sharing with us too, are you still gigging in Berlin bro?

Hallo und schoenen Abend,
wie die anderen schon sagten, seltsam, aber gut smile. Auch du hast recht, in dem du erwaehnt hast, dass Mom eine sehr starke Vertreterin dieses Genre ist. BadNode hat ja auch schon geschrieben, dass eine kleine Soloeinlage diesen Song noch interessanter machen wuerde, als er schon ist. Ich kann also allem gesagten hier nur zustimmen und finde nichts zu noergeln an deinem Lied. Smile. Toll gemacht
Liebe Guesse Manuela

Banana, first off this is fantastic! So unique, you had me with that opener and then the beat is just relentless! Also very impressed with your vocals, both technique and quality and treatment of them. Your mix is really nice and clean as well.. I think one thing my ears were expecting to hear on this after that little break at 1:55 was a little wailing, high-end guitar solo/embellishment that maybe introduces a new phrase on top of the the rhythm you introduce. Just a suggestion.. I think what you've got here is super solid and stands on it's own merits and I'm excited to hear where you take this one! Also checked out dusty's version, and those bars are nice! I love what dusty did with it, and could definitely hear more of them on this track if the inspiration hits them. Great stuff, thanks for sharing!
peace, -._.-

And so the sudden metal trend continues lol. Im not complaining, cuz thats awesome. But it just came out of nowhere, myself included. Even crazier, alot of what im hearing is pretty good! And yours is even better than that. Ive decided to make the Halloween release im working on feature shredding guitar in every song, and so far, the two tracks Ive done for it turned out great. I hope this trend continues, nice work Mr. banana. - Aaron (The Less metal one lol)

very cool track i like weird lol

I didn't even know "weird" was a genre on here until I heard this but I can see how you made the connection lol. Good stuff

I like this bro, I actually made a 8 bar verse that comes in at 2:11 or so just for fun, made it super quick I didnt spend a lot of time on it I didnt see an email on your profile or I would have just sent the stem there but heres a link to it if you want to check it out lol.

hey BananaLu,
really well done!
i don't usually use that kind of language but this is dope. :D
can't fault the eq either, sounds excellent to me.
mmm jazz cigarettes, i can't resist. especially when i need syncopation.
i smoke two joints before i smoke two joints and then i smoke two more.
brilliant tune mate, both musically and lyrically.

Nice, man! This sounds like you took some early 2000s alt music and flavored it with late 70s early 80s ska. What a brilliant mix of sounds. It has great energy.
Back in the 90s, when it was still illegal, I smoked the shit all the time. Always goin' to sketchy dude's places to get whatever we could get our hands on. A constant hunt for the Purple K, White Lotus, etc.. Usually just ended up with decent green. Sometimes stems and seeds, but not too bad. Fast forward a couple decades, living in Washington state, the second state to legalize, I wasn't in a position to smoke anymore. Word around the campfire is that the quality of that legal weed put the Purple K to shame. There's a cruel irony for ya.
Anyhow, killer track, man. Fav'd for sure!

Take care.
V.
