this is truly good...very refreshing the blend and style of both the music and vocals..you mentioned the vocal didn't have much time spent on them and I personally think you should take time and if needs be get them perfect!! Great track!!
Hello. Oh no - I'm so offended by that one word! Actually, I don't know which one it is. Didn't spot it so you may as well tell me what it is.
This has a cool beat. But you already know that as I'm sure you enjoyed grooving big time to it. Reminds me of Teddy Riley sort of stuff eg some of what's on MJ's excellent Dangerous album. Maybe a bit like the groove on opening track Jam. Also a little like Prince's Gett Off, which I'm fairly sure is one of hundreds (thousands?) of Funky Drummer-sampling tracks.
Good use of guitar and bass and your verse rap is really good. Has quite an old skool played musical instrument rap sound to it rather than just layering of samples. So, a lot more life to it than lots of stuff I hear.
With a cleaner sound, this sounds like something that would be quite a big hit. Overall, it's a bit too 'pop' for me but I totally appreciate it.
I also like the end where we get to hear a bit more music and sound effects. It's good to lose your vocals there...
Nice, has an immortal technique feel to it. Can barely hear your voice though(gotta turn my volume up). Other than that it's awesome to listen to a female MC who has something intelligent to say.
Whoa nice track there Michelle. I'm really impressed not only with your rap but with your singing as well. The combination really raises the quality and showcases your talent here. The music on this is tight, especially the drum track. Yeah there's a few spots that might warrant some further work but by all means its worth the effort. I'm definitely keeping eyes and ears on you.
Nice smooth beat, and great song concept. Being that this is a rough mix, I will admit that my only issue with this song is that. The mix. Make sure you let me know when you have the final mix prepared and I will give this a full review. I truly do like this song. The chorus is real. Great stuff.
i love hearing well-mixed percussion because i am feeling my way through this particular dark tunnel lately. the singing is beautiful and the mixing is excellent. the mood/genre is some sort of beautiful element of bassa nova sound. it's a beautiful listen. big congrats. much success.
Hello. I'm also only very occasionally a fan of r'n'b though I do love No Diggity.
However, I can hear a lot of talent here. Lots of vocal ability and I find that guitar interesting. It has a nice lilt and tone to it.
Both the mix and recording need to be improved as they're totally letting the song down. I think there's a lot of noise on the vocals and guitar (it's more obvious without the beat)so recording process needs to be better worked out. If not (or maybe as well) noise removal tools can be employed to help remove some of it.
Ah, I've just read it was made (recorded?) in your bathroom. It does actually sound like that as I can hear the bathroom sort of reverb on it.
I can hardly hear any bass on this and was going to ask if you plan on adding a bassline of some sort. I now see there's some sort of bass sample in there though I still can't really hear it.
Also, the track's a bit short.
Good work but I hope you can improve your recording and do this song the justice it deserves.
Thank you for your feedback. Definitely need to do what you mentioned above. Its just a demo as far as I'm concerned and would love nothing more than to record it with a live band. In a real studio. Redo the whole thing. Bathroom is not the best place to record. Any tips for recording would be appreciated.
But I'm glad you can here the potential. I am a performer and recording is not my best quality still learning and need to work at techniques. Thank you Static Nomad I really appreciate your comment. Blessings
Applause: clap clap clap! Very good vocal track! Agree to Spiv: we have a new star here on looperman! You should only clean up the mix a bit, this is top class material and it deserves the best! Ciao, Domenico
Wow! Such compliments that I never expected. Thank you. Agreed it needs a cleaner mix, levels and such. Thank you for your honest feed back. Looperman I love this place :-)
First let me say, I'm not a big follower of RnB music. This is a fabulous soulful track! This would be just great in a film of some sort! I really like your vocal style, it sounds like we have a new starlet in our midst! Can't wait to hear more!
whaaaaattttt this is beautiful!!! dope! the mic levels tho it would be super if your vocals was balanced but wow i loved it!! jill scott vibe they dont make them like you anymore! beautiful!

I prefer this to your bathroom recorded track.

Sweet track! Love the voices
Could do with smoother mix and a gentle pad in the back at times.
