Very jazzy! I had no idea what to expect there, but I like the keys. I think you can easily lift them a bit in the mix, I think the melody should be the main focus?
Muy bien amigo!
Yeah I'm sure there was some pleasurable smoke in the air but you know what, I like it. I do think you could mix in some more melodic elements; this could either be the climax of a track or maybe an intro to something else, but I was intrigued throughout. Good start!
Another foray into 80s music eh? Love it man, although I wouldn't mind a bit of (syncopated) hihat in the drums for some more funk and some brightness. Great stuff and great use of the vocal!
Yeah, I like that. Good kind of sound, would be great for a nice vocal or rap or both. Well done - see if you can find an acapella? In my experience people very rarely take up the challenge so you may have to do it yourself ;)
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.
Ok, that's the kind of track I would usually skip, but you drew me in somehow and I liked it, actually. The rap is very strong, well timed and dynamic.
Good break too. I like it!
Dank je. Had wel het hele nummer er op willen zetten met vocal. maar dan ben ik bang dat ik een copyright strike krijg. daarom is de download ook niet beschikbaar en is het een sample.
I grew up with the music of Ian Duty. It was weird and exciting to us - we didn't get the lyrics, we certainly didn't get his appearance but boy did we get the energy. There's also this amazing docu on Stuff where they tell the story nobody wanted to perform after Dury because no band could top that energy.
Yeah, I get it, and you are getting very close to the energy of the band. And that's saying something. Very well done my friend!
His son Baxter sounds like his dad. He's a musician too. I once heard the Blockheads perform on BBC 6 Music (Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show) with Baxter and it was amazing.
They are Bian Zhong, a kind of ancient bell set that owns a history of about 8000 years. One of the most famous Bian Zhong is the 2370-year-old Zeng Hou Yi Bian Zhong, made of bronze and found in HuBei province in 1977.
I can totally hear how a Evanescense-like vocal would be amazing here (or Tori Amos maybe?).
I would urge you to give it a try - mixing vocals is hard (I suck at it so I won't give you advice) but you know what, often when I try people give useful advice here.
The track cuts off unexpectedly mid-phrase at 2:24, was that your intention?
Good luck. It takes guts to put out your vocals, I know that, but trying and getting feedback can only make you better :)
Thanks for the encouragement! It's scary to let people hear me sing but I agree with you that it must be done in order to get better.
Oh, to sing like Amy Lee would be a dream come true hehe
Ooh, I think you went a bit overboard with the gain on the track and especially the vocals Alex, see if you can turn them down a bit? Leave some headroom.
Beautiful lyrics as always!
It's good, but I'm slightly confused about the provenance. Are you luriich? And did you find the acapella here on Looperman or elsewhere? Sorry, I'm a nosy bastard:D
It's great Maj! I like how around 1:20 you go into a different, more orchestral section; I would maybe want that a bit louder to grab my attention. And then I was actually hoping that around 2:00 the 2 sections would merge :) but I also like how you went to the original theme.
Great stuff by the Vangelis of Looperman ;)
Hello, my dear Boudewijn.
Wow, Vangelis of Looperman!!
Thanks for that Much love here too mate.
Mate, you are the top man of Looperman.
If have noticed that I have been very quiet since last week the reason for that is. I had a massive crash on my big PC and my 8TB external HDD which had all my sound design files and music saves for the last eight years All gone.
I have been in touch with WD to try to recover some things to no avail.
Therefore the only music I have now is what I have saved on my profile with Looperman.
I'm very sorry I did not respond to you, I hope you'll forgive me, my dear friend.
Thanks again.

Strong rap man. I'm not a huge fan of the electronic "clicky" hihats (being a drummer :D) but actually it works here, and your vocal is key anyway. Good stuff.
First of all, that's a really good track. I think if you take that to a producer, you can make that a hit, and I'm not kidding. Your voice is good enough, the tune is nice and poppy, you have all the elements, although it needs some finetuning.
Now, if I'm the producer (and I'm not), here's what I would do:
- make some changes to the melody/lyrics. Eg I noticed you sang do IT and rockSTARS with emphasis on the second syllable, when DO it and ROCKstars would flow better. Not that important, but it will help to create a hook
- then, more importantly, I would think with you about the structure. I think it needs more breathing room (eg don't go straight from chorus to verse) and a clearer hook/chorus. You consider basically everything a chorus, but that's hard to remember. I would consider to make "until I'm 27" your prechorus and the bit after that your chorus. Obviously the instrumentation also needs to reflect that; so the bit before "27" should be a bit calmer etc.
Anyway. I want to stress again I think you have something there; make 5 or 10 of these,take them to a pro and see what happens!!
This is my favorite of your tracks! The intro is very musical, and the beat is strong.
I was going to make the same remark as Ian/Pseudoble that the beat is distorteling; maybe you did that on purpose (which is fine of course) but you can consider turning that and/or the master volume down a bit, so you would also have a bit more dynamics.
I like what you did though, keep creating!! Good stuff, you can be really proud.
