You have great vocal character Mykael...the kind that you either have or dont...comes with a nice subtle natural vibrato..like that rich sounding piano......You are off to a great start with this one...hope to hear your finished version (feel free to hit my contact button when you upload it)..I think you have the main ingredients here...well done...its good now,,,,going to be great soon...Ed
Real nice start, keys are in a real good space and sound on the mark...
Voice I know it's not the final!!.. So my view, if I may... :)
You have a really good voice, I'd give it more control of the front
line, with just a little less reverb just a touch...
The trick is the music helps you, not your voice helps the music...
If you get my drift...
I think the best way is to determine the chords of the song first, then (eventually) write the melody and record the vocal. Otherwise there might be a kind of a harmonic strangeness happening. There is a clash at 0:56 between drums and piano. Also I do not think this song really starts on the downbeat but that is only my personal opinion.
Hey Alex! Thank you so much for stopping by and listening to the track! We are in agreement concerning the clash and the downbeat. It is my custom to work a song backwards, meaning...the first thing that comes to me is the melody. I'm not sure why that is, but it's usually how it happens. There are some other tweaks (aside from those you have pointed out) that will be made....and of course a fresh and cleaner vocal.
Thank you EYEDYE! I'm happy to know you enjoyed the track. The instrumentation will remain minimal, but everything will be balanced once we map out the bridge and lay new vocals. It shouldn't be long!!! Stay tuned!
Oh my, my two favorite things. Jazz, and Christmas. Very good vocals, and beautiful smooth jazz, man. I am very glad to give this a listen. Everything is balanced out well.
Wow this is so laid back so cool yet so warm and so pro sounding.
I ain't good enough at this mlarky to give any addice or tips but as a listener and a consumer I can only say that sounds near as damn perfect to me.
You have a great voice and style.
Thanks so much Silverman! It was fun to record it and even more fun to tweak the mix. I actually had an opportunity to perform live to this track last weekend. I'd say based on the "Standing O," folks kind of liked it! LOL
Very nice Mykael. a great effort indeed. You are putting me into the christmas spirit. My favourite holiday song of all time actually comes from Alexander O'Neil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8chrEoJ4e6U&html5=1
Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced. Great Lyrics and music.
Keep em coming.
Light & Love!

Nice job here! Great rendition of a classic Christmas song! I think the mix sounds great! Nice choice of instruments and just the right amount of each one.
Song and music perfectly suited .... And although you think negatively your way to mix, I sincerely think that all is well placed. The song is perfectly up to par, and I have no criticism to write here .... For me it's a great track to listen without a second thought.
Thank you for sharing that magic instant ....
mate as said many times before in the pass, totally love the tone of your voice and the warmth you get into your tracks, haven't heard the original instrumental,sounds good, but this is topped off beautiful with your vocals, love it...Fav...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...

Anyway this an interesting take.
Looking forward to hear more of this sometime.
