Lovely breezy track Dan, almost has a Motown feel in the piano and horn stabs. Nice dynamics, plenty of melody, very uplifting track! Liking the breakdown very much, that's really atmospheric with the glacial guitar in the background. Yes, I enjoyed this a lot.
Merry Christmas!

Dan,
Thanks for the Caribbean vacation here at work:) Really upbeat track and the mix is fantastic. During the first few bars/intro I thought I accidentally clicked Oye Como Va but then it took a completely different turn. Really fine work.

At the open I heard what sounded like the intro to "Black Magic Woman". The piece leans towards a Latin American vibe throughout and is chock full of all kinds of interesting goodies popping in and out-organ, brass, percussion. The mix and clarity is top notch. Good separation. The melody has a few nice peeks and valleys and you used the opportunity of each nicely to cleverly introduce new elements. Nice work all around Dan!
