That was pretty nice for all the disclaimers.  A simple song, arrangement, and vocal treatment can go a long ways to showcasing one's talent.  Kelly has a good voice, and I'll be interested to see where it goes in the future.  Just keep posting your songs here, and this crowd here will love to help in any way they can.

Yes, that was very nice and sounded pretty good for sure. Kelly does have a lovely voice and she should do very well in the music world. Very simple sound and arrangement came off very nicely and holds your attention. A bit long, but the song had a lot to say, so thumbs up.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

You're sisters got a beautiful voice. Love her slow vibrato, and her intonation on both the higher and lower notes.

Your sister does indeed have a very tuneful voice.
 
I hesitate to mention it as no one else has but what have you done to the guitar I am getting a lot of phasing noise here, which of course could just be the side affect of being an alien with furry ears.
 
Keep them coming lots of very helpful peeps here.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Hey Wookie, Thanks for checking it out. She sings right on the money. "tuneful" ! Thanks too for bringing up the guitar. It wasn't your outworld furriness. We have only one mic (Shure sm-58) so she sings into that and the guitar is direct through my interface. I taught myself to fingerpick but I still got a long way to go. Got some nerve damage down my whole rt side, so a lot of unevenness between thumb and fingers. Tamed that the best I could w/some compression and then used the BT anologue chorus and the BT stereo widener. I guess that's where the phase issue comes from. Best I could come up with. If you could hear the raw guitar track...well thankfully no one has to. Anyway Thanks Mr. Wookie !    Jim

Hey pistolpete, Thanks for commenting. Maybe you've got something she could sing. Would love it if she had someone more on her level of competence. Sorry, but can't afford lessons. Thanks though for recognizing her voice !                                                                                                                                          

That guitar was excellent felt like some Prince "Under the Cherry Moon". Great job and keep producing! -Shawn

Wow Shawn, Thanks a bunch! Will do...and now I'm off to youtube to check out "Under the Cherry Moon"...great title.        Thanks for that, jim.                                                                              

This is great song for showcasing the vocals, it's got great presence, lots of emotion,  super control, and a special vibe. Loved the little chuckle, it made me smile.
If you wanted to pursue this further, you could do worse than work on what you are doing. It seems to me you already have something special and could work this up into something great.
You could also do worse than share your creations on this site, as there are a lot of very talented people here that could guide you on your journey if you needed help with something.
Good luck.
 
P.S. I tend to agree with Wookiee, the guitar would have been sweeter without the phasing effect, but that's just a personal preference, you play it how you feel it.

Hi James, nice tune and very good vocals, guitar's not bad either ,just a bit to much movement in the stereo field that's a bit distracting. Good effort.

You're welcome.  Wish it was me in my avatar, it's DJANGO REINHARDT ; )

Hey Daryl. Thanks for taking the time and so happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for the welcome too!     Jim

For some reason she reminded me of Karen Carpenter in a sense. Sounded nice.
Onwards then for ya.
 

 

I guess it was that low note in the melody of the song that she hit.
Actually I think I would have changed that to be a bit higher just on that note.
But that's all up to you and her.

 

Hi Kenny. Thanks for the listen! That's interesting. Intimacy and vulnerability. Sorta inseparable. I'm gonna remember that. Thanks for the kind words Kenny!   Jim
