Take a bow, mi amigo, you have broken through to another level. This is the most polished, radio-ready song you have posted to date. Having followed you for a while, I'm impressed. I'll be looking to you for answers, now. Thanks for making my day :)

Love your vocal sound. Highs and lows on the track are really good. Nicely not over-compressed. I would like more snare or crack on 2 & 4. On Down and Dirty, maybe kill the reverb and go DRY for contrast. At around 2:40 the lead vocal seems to come up in volume compared to the earlier parts.
Good job.

I agree on Lynn, you have made huge improvements since I am around here...that said, I have noticed some timing issues with the vocals, if you work of them radio is waiting for you!

Sounds cool to me man. I don't normally listen to this kind of music, but my wife makes me listen to this genre when I'm in *her* car, so I'm getting more used to it and this sounds up to par with everything I've heard on the radio. I'm writing this as I'm listening, and I find I like how the bass and drums stop and you go into some trippy stuff and then it starts pumping again with that dancing synth thingy on top...down..down..dirty..dirty..
Yeah pretty cool and professional.. Nice job.

Mate, I think I remember that last time you posted something on this forum, with this track you have improved times 10!
I do listen to this kind of music and I will say this production is at the top level of this genre on the radio.
Your vocals have come on a lot and I love the change up of percussion and beats throughout which keep interest.
For me this is 95% to be fully radio ready.
(1) Too long, take a minute off it.
(2) I want to hear more of the main hook in the song which is from 4:02 until the end.
(3) Vocals, which are awesome all around, have a few out of tune spots which give it away.
(4) and just to be anal about it, the intro is to abrupt coming in IMO.
Well done sir, this is really good :-)

Agree with the others this is definitely a big step up from your previous showings.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice textures.
I'm not a fan of this genre but this all seemed to fit together nicely.

Well, for the type of song (not my type though) it sounded okay. I just don't like too much auto-tune on a voice.
The bassdrum may be a bit too loud, but then I am playing it at home and not in a club. But I think at louder volume the mix would be a bit bass heavy as said.
Can't compare it with any previous songs of yours so that is about it to me.
