Excellent production. I really liked some of those cool rhythmic piano licks. And the vocals are just right.

Nice smoothe R&B feel to it... makes me want to have drinks and go oick up on some chicks. It has that "club" feel to it.
NICE recording too!

Awesome production, Tim. This would have been a great fit for a lot of R & B bands in any era. I'll have to listen to this several more times.

Thanks Daryl. I don't quite get the MF relation. But, I guess that's what makes it all interesting. I was into MF for a spell there. Something musta seaped through the cracks er somethin. Thanks. Glad you liked.

This is really good! I thought Rick Astley was going to start singing. This is something he would do.
Your vocals are outstanding. Great mix. Very well done!

This song would fit right in with the smooth jazz radio station I always tune into when I'm at the Beach... I'm still patently waiting on my albums...

Outstanding. Sounds radio ready - and a better tune than most one hears on the radio. Excellent piano lead - perfect. vox chorus perfectly arranged, too. The whole thing reeks of professionalism.

Hey Frank. what were you doing in Laguna Beach? That's a long way to go just for a beach. You know there's a beach just south of you. I'm patiently waiting on your albums too..... Thanks Mr. Baps.... Thanks AT. Glad you liked the piano lead. It does kind of go on and on and on. Was listening to Under My Spell. Really enjoyed it.

Even if your productions weren't as good as they are, I'd be a fan of your songwriting. However, the production is good and so is the song so it's a winner in my book!

I hate to be the only dissenter as everyone seems to think it's perfect already... but I think there are a couple of things that bug me and make this only a 9/10 song to my ear. First thing that bugs me is the EQ on the lead vocal is a bit nasal... I think it needs more bottom and low-mid freqs to make it sound more natural. Second thing is the rigidity of the rhythm parts. They just sound a bit "canned" to me.
Great song though overall, fantastic piano lead throughout the song, and I love both the lead and background vox.

Mix sounds great on my lappy. Not my favourite song of yours to be honest, drum/perc feels a bit lazy...kind of press start, loop for 5 minutes, fade to end, that'll do. Not that you're gonna change it or anything, but just saying how I hear it. Hey, I can't give you 10/10 every time or people will just say I'm always kising your butt ;)

Hey warren. Thanks for that. Yea, the songwriting has always been the prime objective. Production just grew as a means to an end. Glad you liked. Hi Walt. thanks. You can dissent as much as you like. I really don't hear the nasal thing. Maybe it was the SM57 onto tape:) The track is pretty old actually and back then, I think just hitting go on the drum machine was the way to go. I think it was meant to just be a part that disappeared into the song. Thanks Paulo. Yea, as above on the drums.
