Hey Richie, I know that it's been a while. Congratulations on another winner between you and Ms. Edwards. A very wonderful piece indeed. You're extremely talented musician and I wish you nothing but the best in the future of your career. A standing O is greatly deserved.

this is gospel if there ever was - a terrific match of artists visions - echo bear, and bravos

What a BEAUTIFUL and refreshing song. It is all on the plate.
Love the lyrics and the arrangement. Great musical background! Exactly what I expected with the best talent here on looperman. Love it. Filaofsoul

Richie it is great to see you back and even better, you bring an amazing song with you.

It's hard to describe just how good this one is. So I think the best thing I can do is sit back, grab another cup of coffee, and hit replay.

You and Patricia really should hit the road together. This is absolute perfection. Kudos to both of you. Another great song by two of the Loop's finest!!

I hope all is well. Thanks for the download as well :)

Hiya Richie! This is a VERY sweeet track! When I listen to it, I hear so many different things going....At first it sounds as it would fit so perfectly on a "SHAFT" soundtrack, then it sounds very jazzy/bluesy and very current. Your mixing chops are off the chart! Well done!!!

Love & Light,

Mykael

Good to see you back in the Uk.

Yes I did enjoy listening to this one very upbeat about your own faults great vibe
best wishes

Love it!!!!Patricia is an amazing singer and you produce it just right!! Love the Sade feel on the verse.... For me this is a HIT!!!

Perfect producing! Crazy good Drums wouldn't guess it's EZDrummer ! Knowing that i use this plug all the time......

Just doing a wee bit of catch-up this morning & see I`m catching up with this one really late in the game...but when I get the chance to sit and listen to one of your tracks I haven`t heard before I always know I`m in for good listening...no exception here Richie & Patricia`s vocal really is icing on the cake...great work....Ed

Wondermous!

Hi there Richie,

Finally am getting here to listen what you have put up. I chose this tune of yours as I wanted to hear Pat's vocals on it. She has done a couple songs for me and they went over well. But this type of music fits her style like a glove.

So Kudos to you and her for putting this arrangement together. very well done.

Amazing work! Top quality vocals, and I think that the autotune is used very tastefully! Great harmonies! Wonderful mixing! Congrats to you for making this happen!

Sorry for double-posting here but...

GUYS, I'm sorry I have to disagree with most of you regarding the use of Autotune here...

I usually HATE this plugin BUT... I really think this time it gives an extra feel to Farisha's wonderful vocals...

This hard'n'fast vibrato just sounds perfect and appropriate ( it's a matter of personal taste though )... Here for example : I think she sings "I'm tired of excuses" (2:46) ! Of course it smells autotune 10 miles around... But be honest, doesn't it sound F&(!ING GREAT this way ????

Every looperpeople here who has been here for quite some time won't need any proof of Farisha's amazing vocal abilities... I know she could have recorded this without autotune, by spending some more time... BUT it would have sounded different... And the more I listen to this song, the less I want it to sound different :)

This is really good Richie, wow. The vocals are great and the music. shhh. The music feels too good. I listen and get lost in this moment. When I hear your music man I feel good all the time then when the song has finished I start to think "Now this is real music that anyone could feel" then I realize that the so called "music" I make is wrong. My apologies. Thank you for sharing your great music with all of us. I appreciate hearing such good sounds put together. Keep creating and have fun Richie. I enjoyed the listen, as always. Peace.

Hey Richie, Man... You are one creative person and super good at it! Something about your music reaches inside my brain and gets me thinking way too much then the foot starts tapping, head starts nodding, then what ya know, I'm liking the song for more plays. Listening to your very interesting music makes me inspired. Good work here and I thought you gave D.V. words a real good support. Keep up the great music Richie. You make listening fun! Have a good 1, Peace.

WOW! Beautiful JUST BEAUTIFUL. It's all been said in the above comments. Perfection at its best!! Fila

Hello sir,

All i can conclude after listening to this track is that, it is the best track i've ever heard on looperman. And ofcourse Farisha Haque has huge Talent and limited time to give into. I had her acepallas and i afraid to use them cuz i feel am still not that talented to compose a music of her level.

Well i am from India and my family doesnt like me to step into this world but i have huge interest and am passionate towards this field of melody. I really dont have any proper instruments but still i manage/try to compose something unique and professional. Sir, if you allow me then i would like to take some lessons from you.

And again am very pleased to listen it (:

WHOAA, so many sweet comments!! What a great response!

And as for autotune, believe me I get it. I heard it a thousand times, and I will continue to hear it. I will try and explain myself.

When it comes to producing, I mix record everything myself. I have no one to be there, to help me, or anything. I also have an extremely limited time to record. Think like maybe one day out of a whole month. Im a full time student, and I have noisy neighbors that complain about my singing.

That said, when I record, I do it as efficiently as I possibly can. So that one day that I get, I record at least one whole song, or a few hooks. Now, my vocals are not just one line of music usually. They are usually at least 7 part harmonies. Now, when professional music is recorded, not only do they use autotune, but they have actual sound engineers and mixers to make it sound as crisp as possible. Doesnt matter how good you are, you need the autotune to match the PERFECT tuning of the instrumentals.

Since I have so many harmonies, I use autotune to keep the harmonies more crisp for better blend. A lot of the time, I record to very full music tracks, so when the vocals are put with the music, it doesnt sound too autotune-y. But the vocals by itself, sounds very autotuned.

Now I agree, I do use it alot, but it's the best I can produce for now. And I mean, Im not getting paid to do this. I do it because it's my way of collaborating without actually having to be there. I can proudly say I've been featured on so many awesome musician's tracks from all around the world.

So hopefully, anyone reading this understands me a little better :)

Man Richie...every one I listen to I thing..this must be your best one yet,...and then you keep topping yourself...I can only echo the many compliments you have received..this is just a superb bit of musical artistry...you do indeed set a standard that many of us would wist to strive towards...all the best on your move mate.....Ed

Holy Cow Rich...that was frikkin' awesome man ! From the instrumentation, to the dynamics and all the subtle attention to detail and huge ears for mastering the room. Loved the guitar work. Farisha goes withut saying she's just fantastic here. Emotional. I always say...when you have the feeling on a track where if you close your eyes and you feel yourself floating....you got it. Without sound too much like Yoda...." Nailed it you did, Master !"

Fantastic! I can only hope that one day I can do something even close to this.

Great work

The music so clear, the guitars sing and the piano serenades. The whole song entices you and leads you down a path of brillance. Excellent work!!

All I can say is : Wow !!!! a fantastic interpretation and arrangement of an equally great vocal. I've tried my hand on the same song and boy I have stuff to learn :)

Magic and Mastery - Applause!

Absolutely gorgeous!
Although I do agree that Farisha REALLY doesnt need autocrap distorting that gorgeous voice!
That said, fantastic track, your instrumental is great; clean, open & does a superb job of presenting the vocals.
Literally gave me goosebumps!

There are a few people on here who set an extremely high example for the rest of us, and you are at the top of that list.

This one is flawless, from start to finish. I am continually amazed at your versatility, prowess, and talent as a songwriter, composer, musician and engineer. Farisha is a huge talent as well. When you put the two of you together it is an absolute force of nature.

I think it might be time to retire that pella, cause nobody is going to come close to this one :) Thanks for the download as well. Beautiful work, Richie, absolutely beautiful.
