I came to Comme on Enfante I presume its that - I like the beat and the singing good dance song. Edit: I was a little bit to trigger happy there now I found it some semi dance song that are almost as good I think. Well done

"current" suggests it might be subject to change... does the current Mrs Daryl know this?  I like the song, though the lyrics stumble in a few places.

Wow I wasn't expecting that. It's really modern sounding. The vocals are good but they need to be a little more even, they are a little inaudible at times, I would also add a little more sparkle or top end to them too. Pop vocals like need sparkle.
Nice Peace Ben

nice one daryk!!! the current Mrs. has a great voice - love it!
I would suggest that you back off of the processing on her vocals during the chorus. leave it "phasy" during the verse, but let her vocals shine during the chorus.
just my producer 2 cents. excellent work, my monkey friend.

Nice job on this... very impressive. Nice job writing and producing.
One thing I would do is "open" the top end of the girl's (TCMD1986) voice.... let it sizzle a bit and give it some air.... just a minor crit.... perhaps just my preference....
other than that minor nit, well done.

That's nice Daryl, the missus has a cool voice (even AT-d.. ))..she has cosmic hair too. Very good production, apart from the lead synth that comes in after every hook, didn't care for that sound, it was a bit 'Human League' if you kno wottamean.. Minor nit tho. Very well written song btw, you make it sound effortless.

In this day and age where so many singers have cookie cutter voices, this song stands out. I like the mix the way you did it, and if you change it, you don't really need too much polish. All that polish does is give it the same "gloss" that every other pop singer in the world shoots for. This is subtly different which is why it appeals to me.

Enjoyed this. I like the modern sound and though the vocals have the processing going on I can hear Mrs Daryl's vocal through it and think I would recognize her if I heard her again, unlike many modern sounding vocals.

Another solid sounding tune. The real star of this mix is the smooth vox delivery of MrsD1968. Everything is sounding killer on my end. KUDOS!

Really cool. I know she's tuned, but it sounds really good! Great harmonies too. So cool that you can share this with her. She's awesome.

I'm screwed trying to listen to all the Sound Cloud stuff because it won't play unless I update my Browser, and this is my wifes computer, and not my place to update it.
Sorry...

Great sounding mix here and a really nice job on the vocals- Is this you or your wife singing?;)
All I can listen on right now are headphones and I'm probably not getting the best picture of the mix. On my end here it seem a little brittle in the mid/ highs...I'll check and see if maybe there is an eq on this computer.
Since no one else mentioned it my guess is it's my audio here.
Even here on a less than stellar setup it sounds good!
