on Myy Lyyfe by Art0fficial
Hey! that's "Walking in the Rain with the One I Love" by Love Unlimited.
Used to do a cover of it on the bass and sing it back in the day, cause the bass line at the end is killer.
A bit of Trivia: That's Barry White at the end of the song speaking on the phone to his future wife, the lead singer of Love Unlimited.

Enjoyed the tone of your voice on your rap. I wish you all the best.

Thanks,

And that baby. SO CUTE. Look at that widdle cute face and those chubby cheeks. Just beautiful. Sigh.

Nu Jazz would have been called Jazz Fusion back in the day. Many of the R&B groups had a background in Jazz before having funk music hits in the US. Groups like Kool and the Gang, Lakeside, Mandrill, The Commodores and others had a mixture of guys who studied music in college and others who played by ear.

It's kind of ironic that I'm working on 60s music featuring big voiced UK singers (Celia Black, Shirley Bassey, Lulu) and you're channeling some of the hottest throwback USA funk around.

I'll see what I can come up with for this.

Thanks again Wikkid...yeah, he is cute 'aint he :))
My grandson, age 4 now. Leon Hendrix Wild, how cool is
that name :))

I still think it's more groovy than funky. But that's probably got more to do with the way I dance than anything else :)) But I do like the tag 'Nu Jazz'. It makes it sound like I know what I'm doing. A bit more sophisticated than 'urban groove' I think :))

It is ironic that you're working on 60's music. As that is exactly what I'm doing. I'm working with a vocalist on
something in a Small Faces stylee. Oh...and don't forget to add Dusty Springfield to that list of yours. Maybe not a 'big voiced' UK singer, but the BEST around at the time.

Thanks again for taking an interest...

on iwalk by grrr
I'm curious. Did you mean to go this far back? Cause this put me in mind of the stuff I used to cover back in the 70s (Herbie Hancock, Mandrill) I've got a few Young-Holt Unlimited LP's with this type of extended groove.

You really captured the feel of that era. I dunno if I'd call this strickly electronic. Maybe Nu jazz? I hope others chime in.

grrr replied 6th Jun 2017 - 9 years ago
Hi, Thanks for your kind words, and for taking the time to listen and comment on my work. Much appreciated.

Yeah...I'm not sure about it being 'Electronic' either. But there wasn't a category available, in that drop down menu, that described what I thought it was. I call it urban groove, but I think I prefer Nu Jazz....is there such a genre. I've got something similar that I might post next, that is very similar, but more jazzy...I think. I've only just joined this place, so I'm just feeling my way around atm. Still not sure what is the best way/place to post my work to get the best exposure.
So any advice would be most welcome.

I agree that it needs that 'updated' tweak. I'm hoping to get a vocalist/lyricist interested, so I've left plenty of room, and just left it as verse/chorus, hoping that the lyrics/vocal will lead to, or suggest, where some sort of breakdown should be. Then there's mixing and production, so loads of time yet for that tweak....

Anyway, Thank you again for your encouraging words. You are very kind. I hope something really nice happens to you today...

on iwalk by grrr
Yeah, this is funk-a-fied. Gotta listen a few more times. Good job. I'm hearing Bill Withers and yes, I agree with Indieground's David Byrne influence.

But dang, this is full of old skol touches. Sliding bass line, wah wah guitar, clavinet? sounds, Okay, this needs Norman Whitfield, STargaard (Which Way is Up whoa whoa whoa Owww) type harmonies.

But its still gotta have that updated touch. Hmmm. LEmme think.

on Another day by Indieground
Another fave. I heard this on your Looperman page.
So, who's doing the vocals or is that a sample?
Good voice. If it's you, don't be scared. Sing some more.
Indieground
Indieground replied 5th Jun 2017 - 9 years ago
Again thx for the feedback
Yeah that's vocal part at the beginning it's a sample
It came from an old reggae dub track

on Strange Jazz by Indieground
Having internet issues, so I may have to come back for a more detailed comment if this one doesn't post.

Love this track, and I agree with Danke. A shadowed voice is needed. You've got too much good stuff happening here for it to be smothered by the wrong vocals. Background singing is not a downgrade, but another ingredient for a creative composition.

on Dat Ol Skool HipHop Groove by stoltingmediagroup
I love it.
It's not too much, its not overdone. It's throwback with a lot of little hip-hop flourishes that made me listen, got my shoulders bobbing, and made me smile. Sometimes nuance is a good thing. Loved the scifi synth, used sparingly but effective. You settled into a groove in the middle of the song and didn't let up.
Excellent job.

on Neon Tokyo - My study of Cyberpunk by Allochtune
What bright, bubbly creation!
I see what you did and I really like it. It's so catchy (and crafty) that before you know it, there's a head bob and shoulder action.
Made me think of Malibu Barbie getting trapped in a PAC Man video game, and I mean that in a good way, coming from an old soul who has dabbled in just about every musical genre there is. Wanna feel like a kid again? Well this is neon Tokyo at night, party time for adults only in Kabukichō.

You set a goal and succeeded. Gonna make this a fave, since its a great pick me up instrumental.
Allochtune
Allochtune replied 21st May 2017 - 9 years ago
My creative process is very conceptual. I pick a concept and sometimes I get something that I am proud of :)
I absolutely love people describing what they imagine when they listen to something I made. I always listen to the song afterwards and see the image in my mind that people described. I am glad that you enjoyed my song and that you even favorited it! You understood what I tried to tell with the song.

on Xyilent - Wave by XyIlent
I loved it.
Could def hear this on the streaming services. This is more my taste, since I can hear a a collaboration of genres. Strongest of which would be 90s R&B infused Jazz, dusted off for a modern, mellow feel. Would really like to hear the finished product. As it is, I'm putting it down as a fave. Really feeling the keyboard runs, bass and beat.
Gonna check out all your previous works on here. You're one to watch.

XyIlent replied 21st May 2017 - 9 years ago
Thanks wikkid, yeah ill stick it up on tunecore and get it out on streaming services if people seem to like it.

"Gonna check out all your previous works on here"
thank you! mostly use looperman to upload and get feedback on unfinished works. if you check my soundcloud there's more finished stuff there. Although sometimes i update the songs when they are done here

Glad you liked the song and thanks for the comment! :)

on In Progress 2 by BeatzFactory
Hi Beatzfactory,

You killed it.
I luv, luv luv how well the bassline, the beat and the vocal samples work with each other. This is an excellent example of the beauty of simplicity (but really, it's not that simple, otherwise everyone could do it). Kinda rough at 1:09 with the drop out, but you've stated that this is a work in progress and with everything up to that point gelling so well, this is a winner. I second Xmachine's wish to hear the final result.
Just in time for summer, this is definitely a party song!

on lets go by ElenaSatine
Hi Ladyinred,

It takes skill, a very good ear and loving patience to put a number of loops together into a kick ##### song like this. Great job. I'm hearing harmonics and a lot of slides up and down the fret to set this off (bass player here)
Made this a fave of mine, because yes, I still love rock also.

ElenaSatine replied 10th Apr 2017 - 9 years ago
Hi wikkid

I'll be glad if you have any suggestion about drum line .
thank you much much for your fave too .
by the way ,you presented me a very good drum player in looperman whose loops has been used in this track .
thank you for that too .

Hi freeflps,

This is a great track. I'm wondering if you got any takers on your offer of a collab? I know you wanted rappers, however have you considered a vocal?

on Modnex - Live it up by Modnex
Hi Modnex,

This had me dancing and thinking up a lead melody and lyrics. I made it
a fav of mine, and I'm definitely going to check out your other tunes. I do have to agree with Citizenmofo's comment, since I'm biased about more bass:)
Your intro had me thinking this would lean more electronic or even veer into trance. Lovely turn of events there. Ultimately, you fused everything together quite well at the end. Loved the bottom and the layering, I only wish it was a little longer, but still, it was short and sweet.
Great job. Virtual hand clap.
Modnex
Modnex replied 7th Apr 2017 - 9 years ago
Thanks wikkid! The intro does sound like it was leading into a whole different genre. I guess that makes it more surprising and interesting when that bass comes in :) . I agree about the length of the track, I think I should have made it longer too. If I get a chance, I might try to. I'm just not too sure what I would add if I did so.

Thanks for all of the kind words, take care!

on Jade for Instrumental by Ludwigbroo
Sorry, I forgot to add that contest threads are usually put in the Forum section of Looperman. That way you can put in the terms of the contest and the deadline, should you decide to do so.

on Jade for Instrumental by Ludwigbroo
Hi Ludwigbroo,

I really like this.
If I may make a suggestion, why not have a contest to find a vocalist/songwriter for this tune?

Contests tend to bring out the members on Looperman. That way you can go through the entries to find the one that best matches your vision for this song.

I wish you all the best on this.
Ludwigbroo
Ludwigbroo replied 25th Mar 2017 - 9 years ago

on What you want by GRMZ
Hello Abin,

I'll be honest with you.
It's your voice that I really dig on this song. I did enjoy the music, its just that your voice is what elevated the tune for me.

Your falsetto is killer, dude. Over here in America, what you've got is what a lot of R&B and hip-hop singers pray for. Good job!

on Freakshow by austinmusic
Wow!
You've come back with a vengeance. I love this, and I agree with Melodic Dreamer and Danke.

I like the honesty in this song, and of course your vocals are on point. Dude, face it. You've got a God given talent. Your voice is like buttah, and now you've added some serious songwriting and production skills on top of that? Plu-lease. Go on wit cha bad self.

on Fires by petereliias
Hi Petereliias,

There are a few other teen producers on Looperman. One that comes readily to mind is Melodic Dreamer, formerly known as EdMoney. I wish you all the best, and I also think Tori Kelly has talent. I think Simon from American Idol was crazy not to like her singing.

on Back 2 tha Roots by kingmadi
Hi Kingmadi,

I don't blame you for being excited, as these as some of the songs I danced to in my youth. Cameo crossed over with "Word Up" and "She's Strange", but they were big in the black community long before they crossed over. That being said, you've used a number of very recognizable samples. I'm going to go with guessing that you've already got copyright clearance on these.

If so, I wish you all the best.

on Shelestial ft MrShammi - All You Need Is Love by Shelestial
Hi Shelestial,

You did a great job on this! Love the beat and backing music. Everything
works so well together, this could easily be on a music streaming service.
Mr.Shammi's wonderful vocals and Djmzike's equally arresting chant seem like they're made to be together. You've got a good ear, and this is a great example of using the talent on Looperman to come up with a fantastic song.
My best to you.

on Wasteland by srob1234
Hi srob1234,

I like this, and I think your vocals are the strongest part. They're so good that I'd suggest turning them up a bit so the lyrics can be clearly heard. You've got a good voice, and the melody compliments the track. Overall this is a great addition to your creative portfolio.

Here's info on the singer whose name is Thomas Daniel (not Foulds, I think he is the songwriter or the producer)

Thomas is also on FACEBOOK and he has his own website:

Thanks for the feedback and the information. I found the acappella here on Looperman named "Foulds - Come Alive" by this guy named Fouldsmusic, so that's why I thought he was the singer too :P I will change the description, thanks again.
