Hey Ernestking78 sorry it took awhile for me to get around to checking out one of your tracks after you checked out one of mine. But I'm so glad I did man, LMAO! Luv that line "Ain't No Pussy Up In Me!" (for real tho),
nice track and I digs yo flo braugh. "If It Ain't About Tha Paper Then Ya Ain't Sayin' Nuthin!" Great Job!

Peace

Wow! I'm totally blown away with this track! Excellent job Evan! This sort of reminds me of what a updated cross of 70's rock bands like "Yes, Focus and Flash" (if you've ever heard of them) would sound like. Absolutely love the creativeness of this tune; very sweet guitar riffs kicking in at 3:42. This track has everything I love to heard in a "instrumental rock track of this genre." Not to mention some "Kick-Ass" Rock" as well as some exceptional mixing. Very clean and professional which made it very enjoyable to listen to. Best track I've heard in some time, again wonderful track Evan thanks for sharing.

Hey pukwudgie7 LMAO! LOVE THAT TITLE IT SHOULD BE A WAY OF LIFE! This is a interesting concept for a rap track, and since I like interesting hybrids of of music that's why I thought I would give it a listen, and I was not disappointed. "Prog Rap???" never heard of that before but love the energy of the track and the flow was was extremely tight!
Great Job

Peace

Hey irieweb537, Very, Very Nice Tack! Very clean mix and love the panning
of the keys. If I weren't so busy with other things right now I'd love to colab with you on this track. Excellent job, would love to hear the finish product when you're done.

Peace

D

Hey EUGOD3000, I like the title of your track, and I see you have your basic concept down. I wanna hear your finished product when it's done.
Tight Track thus far man, keep it coming

Peace

Hey MG, very nice groove you've got going there, is that you on the synth's? Very nice mellody line, the dubstep drum track kick in at 1:20 was a nice touch as well as the loud synth's at 2:20. Enjoyed this very much, great job.

Hey EK, instant fav this is what I'm talkin' 'bout! I luv tracks like this that turn the focus on the real subject matter and ain't afraid to say it like it is! I have an unfinished track based on the continuous and daily assassinations of our young brothers, sisters and babies "entitled Hands Up Don't Shoot!", if I can somehow get the track finished up we may have to do a colab. Great job on this I am impressed.

Peace

Wow as always a extremely well produced, well preformed, great production all around! All the musicians are on top of it and cooking. As always that's why I love hearing real musicians jam together because you always get something special! The mix between Funk, Rock, and Jazz (jazz fusion) is also always a favorite of mine. From one musician to another, Excellent!

Instant Fav peace

Very nice production all the elements work well on this tune,
BabyGee's vocal track works well on this tune. Great Job

Peace

Hey DK very interesting track, like the opening and the change
ups / breaks towards the end of the tune. Very creative and nice groove great job,

D

Wow this is great! The last time I reviewed one of your tracks I was giving you constructive criticism on it. What a difference, for some reason I picture myself in some dance club in France jammin' to this (lol). Has a "Electro / House"
feel to it. Only thing I would suggest is adding some strings for added depth so as to not make the tune sound too repetitive. Other than that, great job!

All The Best

D

Wow how did I miss this jam? Straight ahead classic Rock & Roll, luv it! Great job in putting together this tune. From one bassist to another that was a really nice groove and great guitar work as well as killer drums. A solid production all around, a instant fav for sure.

Great Job!

D

Hey there this a great concept for a Hip Hop track. Minor2go's string loop really did add character to the tune. Would love to hear this with some vocals, great job keep up the good work.

Peace

D

Hey great track, nice mixing and a really big soundscape. It sounds like a track that could be easily used in a Si Fi Movie. Great job

Best Regards

D

Hey Miles great track, I would agree with Amaranthion on the mixing aspect to give it a cleaner sound. Outside of that it's a really good track. I liked this a lot, keep it up

Peace

D

I like the concept musically of the track although it sounds like the track isn't mastered or the mix isn't clear. I like the energy and flow.

Good Job

D

Hey Amaranthion very nice track, the mixing is superb and it's a great all around production. I like that keykeyboard texture
after the first break. Congrats on great track

All The Best

D

Hey Brado another great track, like your mixing on this tune and and a all around great production

Cheers

D

Hey Brado excellent job, would make a great PSA. Your vocals are great, the three part harmony and layered vocals are clean and powerful. It sounds like "power pop" all around a great production. Great Job instant fav

D

MAN THIS TRACK IS TIGHT!! Love it, from the electronica opening to the hard hitting drum and sub bass @ 1:10 and on to
that 808 hi hat fills. Wow, very nice job a instant fav for sure.

Peace

D

Hey 7th12, great track very nice production. Chris's vocal's adds magic to the song, great job

Peace

D

Hey whut up Gnasty, nice track man. Yeah that piano is loud in the track. Not sure what you're using to record with, but usually lowering the master track volume and or adjusting the individual track volumes may help. Other than that, tight track! Would like to hear some vocals to complete it,

Peace

D

eshar wow it is so great to hear that you are still doing your thing after all these years. I guess I have been looong overdue for checking out one of your tracks. Love the funk oozing all over this track. Great job and once again glad to hear you're still at it.

Peace

Ok you were asking for honest assessment and feedback. Let me start out by saying that you have the basics of what can be a truly wonderful R&B song, but you're still missing some elements that can make this a great song. I would have probably produced this track a little differently; since this is a "Love Song", my emphasis would surely have been on having a very solid and well defined vocal performance. Not to say what you did was bad, but could have been much better.

I assume that you were the lead male vocalist on the track? You have a nice laid back "Keith Sweat" sounding vocal style (which is not a bad thing at all), you need to take better advantage of stretching you vocal range so that your singing doesn't sound so one dimensional. In other words sing to make the listener believe what you're sing is real. I like the delay used on your vocal, but obviously the Autotune was a big no, no. It distracts from your vocal performance, I kinda get what you were trying to do with it, but in the end it doesn't work.

On a love tune you should be able to carry the song with your vocal prowess not gimmicks; I also like the "Hook" of the song but it seems the female vocalist part was a little low in the mix. What I would have done was strengthen the hook by adding a secondary backing vocals singing the synth melody (since it's a pretty melody and runs perfect with what is being sung in relation to the hook).

Your basic music tracks are nice and you do have a nice concept, but I would beef it up a little. For me I like a "big lush" sound, so I would have added more strings for atmosphere and had more vocal interplay between you and the female vocalist. Sing the first verse, the hook, the second verse, the hook, improvise, repeat the first verse, the hook to the end of the song.

What I would suggest you do is listen to Keith Sweat's "Make It Last forever". As I stated before, although Keith has a laid back vocal style he does stretch his vocals and sings with emotion to make you feel what he is trying to convey. And since that is a duet with a female vocalist, they make you feel that song. Which is essentially what you have to do. If you do not sing the song with "conviction and emotion" your listening audience will not take you seriously.

Now please do not take my "critique" of your track as a put down, because that is not what I am doing. I am only giving my honest assessment of the song and what could make it better. You have the basics of what could be a great song, R&B music is a emotion driven music, so add some emotion. Other than what I have suggested, it is a good track. Keep up the good work,

D

Hey mudhoen very nice track, a tune befitting summer for sure. Luv the groove and that you didn't over do the effects on the tune. Only thing I had wished, was that you had done a slow fade out on the groove at the end. Other than that, very nice track and a fav for sure. Great job!
