I think we have a similar approach to music. I like it, I think most of this is real live instruments (electronic drums maybe, but played live?), your real voice without too much processing (and what a voice it is man). Awesome.
One tiny thing is that your vocal, as great as it is, is a bit too loud in the mix. IF you reduce that a bit it will be even more pleasant.
Great song, looking forward to your album. Feel free to spam me when it's out!
Hiyas!!!! Thanks so much for comment/compliment. I am happy you enjoyed the track. You have got great ears! Yes, All instruments are red except for the drums. As far as the mix.. that is the product of a person (me...lol) who isn't very proficient with DAWs. I dabbled just enough to get it loaded up here for my fellows' perusal. The "real" mix will be in the hands of a pro. I'll definitely keep you posted.
Man, you are just so damn good. Seriously, Wayne's reference to Lenny is pretty spot on, although I think your voice has a little more of a "buttery" tone to it. No matter, the only thing I wanted was about another 3 or 4 minutes to listen to. Super job Mykael, you really are the king of RnB on Looperman. I hope all is well.
Hiya, Bear! Well thank you sooooooo much! I'm not sure how worthy I am of such high praise, but I'm taking it ALL in! LOL. Happy you enjoyed the track, and Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Hiya! Thanks for stopping yeah...yeah it's just a seed of an idea at the juncture. I for sure won't be mixing nor mastering it when it becomes a proper song. LOL
I think you captured the feeling very well ... you added fantastically emotional vocals to the music ... but if you don't mind (even if you don't want to be an engineer), one or two things: the mixing could have been a little bit louder, both for the music and the vocals ... and maybe a little less reverb would be better .. . but this is just my opinion ... :-)
great song, fistbump, Danke
Hello There, Danke!!! Yes, I agree with the volume, but apparently I'm so dumb I can't figure out how to do it without the clipping happening...LOL. However, reducing the reverb is definitely within my skill set.. :)
Thanks for stopping by!!! I ALWAYS appreciate any comments you share!
In a perfect world, I would be able to walk into a jazz club and you would be on stage, singing, and making the world a better place. Until you come to Florida on tour, I'll just have to enjoy your marvelous works here on Looperman. Stellar as usual, simply as smooth as silk. Thanks for sharing this one. I hope all is well.
I don't know how I missed your comment. Apologies it's taken me so long to notice it. I am happy you enjoyed the track and thank you so much for the wonderful words. I am Honored and Appreciative. Happy New Year!
impressed (hit a wrong button again) with your vocal talent. A gentle easy listening track..I don`t know why some smart production co. hasn`t got you signed up...keep on doing it Mykael....you`re due for a new on...best to you...Ed
LOL....thanks so much Ed! My heat is on the independent Musician side of things, not much interested in the "big leagues." After suffering multiple family losses, and the Government's reaction to covid for two years, we are finally back to completing my album. Fingers crossed!
Sorry to hear about you being hacked it seems GREATNESS! always attracts such types of people. If I had a youtube account I would absolutely subscribe/support your channel in a heartbeat, Iv never felt any desire to create a channel of my own (Who knows maybe one day) but for now I only upload here on LM because I love to write/sing when I get time to, it's a good platform to post my work.
I'm all about supporting my fellow musicians but I'm also careful because people have found ways to steal my vocals without asking my permission so I'm not much for social media.
I did however watch the video and I have to say what a brilliant!! and reflective mood it carries not to mention how beautifully the video has been shot. It absolutely captures the whole vibe of the song perfectly. I'm seriously so impressed with it all and thank you enormously for leaving the link, OUTSTANDING! work indeed. Bravo! :)
Hello Beautiful! Thank for stopping by over there! I'm happy to know you enjoyed the video! Yeah, Social Media can be a blessing and a curse. Unfortunately, for Indie Artist (who don't have a machine of pro folks supporting them) it's a necessary evil. It is very key to growing a fanbase coupled with an artist website. I am lazy when it comes to the business side of music, and it IS a business. So I literally have to force myself to get everything done that needs to be.
The distributor I use (CDbaby) is full service, so they handle a lot of the matters that deal with securing mechanical licenses, collecting specific publishing royalties, sync licensing, etc. So those things are off my shoulders but there is still a lot more that has to be done. They host an annual 3 day Indie DIY Conference every year. A lot of Industry experts, as well as Indie Artists from all over the world attend. It's networking on steroids, with keynote addresses, and break-out sessions, and live shows. It's a worldwide community of artists with a common goal. It's inspiring. I have had a blast every time I attend one of them, in addition to the wealth of knowledge gained.
This year it's in Austin, Texas. Unfortunately, I can't attend due to a gig happening around the same tine. Anyways, I am yakking too much! If you want to know more about the Conference please shoot me a message. Thanks sooooo much again!
Oh yes indeed! they say *Save The Best Til Lst* & here I am listening to one of my fave Male Vocalist with the smoothest voice ever!...This is My kind of music & Jill Scott is one of my fave artist so I'm right at home listening to this, i was singing along with you too haha...Mykael, you absolutely hit a home run!!! with this one & then some, I'll just go cool off before starting my day. This is Hot & I say that with the uppermost respect for you my friend, wow! what a voice! Stellar! keep up the AMAZING! Work. Kudos!
You make me blush!!! Thank you so much. I am laughing and filled with appreciation all at the same time. There is a companion video which we just uploaded to YouTube. A couple years back I got hacked over there, and lost just about all my comments and likes, so being extremely disheartened I turned my focus to my website and pretty much abandoned YouTube. So, if you would do me the honor of heading over there, and support me over there by Commenting, Liking, and Subscribing should you desire, it would mean the world, but no pressure! LOL. Thanks again for the wonderful comments, It's a true honor to be among your favorites!
nice track Mykael, i listened to the original she's got a lovely voice, you done the cover justice mate you got soul and a nice tone to your vocal. well done bro on the update
Also a lovely track! Obviously your voice is the star, although the music could maybe use a bit more detail, but who needs that with a voice like yours. Oh, and more drums here which is good :D
Love your work buddy, anything new coming up? :) Let me know if you'd ever want to Collab, I'd love to see if I can create a track for you!
Thank you so much for the comments. I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to listen to the track and sharing your thoughts. As far as new projects, yes...definitely. I'm (along with a handful of others) working on completing an album project. I have in the meantime uploaded here a Jill Scott Cover as well as a companion music video uploaded to Youtube. You can check it out at http://mykael.rocks -- you can either contact me through there, or message me here. Looking forward to hearing from you, and thanks again.
Lovely work this! Great vocal, lovely keys, great percussion. I could use a bit more bass and drums in the mix but that might well be my cheap earphones in the train, so take that with a grain of salt.
Top notch! I'm off to listen to your newer tracks... Oh, and since you are a great singer... I could your voice on my track ;)
Thank you so much for listening to the track, and it's happiness you enjoyed it!
Depending on the material, I'm always open to the idea of collaborating with other artists.
