Mix/Production wise, I think it's good. I can't offer much crits in that department cause I'm learning too. When I think of head to toe, I think of the classic by Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam. Maybe double up some of the instruments or add more drum beats fatten it up.

Sounds great! I'm listening on computer speakers so I really cant appreciate just how much them lows are really thump'n!! But it sounds awesome to me, maybe a little too much highs in the vocal though. Great job!!

I would say the lead vocal, the backing vocals sound fine to my ears. And I mean just a LITTLE off the highs on the lead . Its such a nicely balanced mix but it just has a TAD to much sizzle on top the lead vocal, maybe a deesser VERY lightly applied would do the trick.

I would swear that you have tweaked the highs in the lead vocals cause it sounds more alot smoother to me now than when I first listened. If I'm wrong let me know cause I'll put my ears to bed LOL!!! Cause they may be shot for the day!

Sorry bout that man!! guess I was used to hearing my dull mix all day and burnt my ears tweaking that and your detailed vocals sounded bright in comparison. I'm still learning Lol!! And todays lesson is do not comment on someone else's mix when your ears are toast. anyways sounds awesome dude (or at least right now I think it does...I'll let you know tommorow LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) No really I took a break for a couple of hours and took another listen and it sounds killer!!!

whats good man? i put my ear to 3 of your songs and hands down (so far) Perfect Love Affair is my fav. I listened to Head 2 Toe & XratedX also. i thought the XratedX joint was fire but i expected a different flow when the rap came in. Honestly - i havent formed an opinion on Head 2 Toe yet! imma listen again later on with fresh ears. Some songs just get you rite away and if you ever remix Perfect Love Affair, you gotta let me drop a 16 on it (maybe 8). Im officially a fan though. keep doing ya thang man... peace & blessings

HEY Tony... another fine piece of music. On my end a very clean and clear sounding mix. Your vox is spot on and the BGV's the harmonies are tight, love that part of the song. A fine, fine job my friend.
