My First Stab At Pop/Rock

 So, this is the first Pop/Rock-ish song I've ever done. And, it's actually a remix of an earlier Dance/ Pop song I wrote. But, I got a wild hair up my ass and decided to try and add some Rock elements to it. The hook isn't as strong as I'd like and I may rewrite that part of it. But, I'm proud of the mix. Although, it could be a lot better, its waaaaaaaaaay better than my previous mixes. I feel I'm getting better at that with practice. Give it a listen and let me know what you think. Here's the link. http://snd.sc/QjURyq Thanks

    Okay, so I fixed the Soundcloud link. Anyone trying to hear the song with a PC should not have any issues now.

    Thanks guys.

    Pop/rock how could I not click on this!

    I would be very proud of this, the production is bang on the buck for me and overall a well written tune.

    In fact, if you have any more similar to this, I would collab, specially if ya need vox, just pm me. Im trying to more of this genre.

    Like "Ride My Lap" too, good vibe off it.

    Best of luck with the website too.

     Reminds me of a Madonna tune...a  bouncy,tight and happening thing. The vocalist really delivers well here. Great job!

    I believe you accomplished your goal quite well.  Like Cian and Starise said, it's clean and bouncy.  I like it when people expand their horizons.  Keep up the good work.

    All the best,

    Hey guys,

    Thanks for the feed back. I really appreciate it. I'm still experimenting with this genre. I'm usually a R&B and Dance/Pop kind of guy.

    Cian, I'll definitely be in touch.
