New Pop/Rock Tune Featuring Nashville's Palmer Lee on Vocals
I think I may have posted this song before with me singing, but it has since undergone a major overhaul. The new version has moved up tempo quite a bit, and the instrumentation is totally different. And of course I have a talented vocalist replacing me. Check it out and see what you think. Special thanks to Bapu and Danny Danzi for input and feedback while I was working on this. All comments welcome, of course. Note added- Thanks to Tom (DeeringAmps) I have replaced the WAV file. https://soundcloud.com/phil-doyle-292979186/i-am-what-i-am-poprock-version

Philz - this is awesome! Love the sound, the keys, the guitars! vocals are excellent! the Pop sounding bass and drums aren't my favorite, but it makes this sound like a radio ready tune! the master compressor/limiter is a little harder than I like hearing, but again, for the pop genre, it fits, so I'm not really suggesting a change.
great stuff!

Very nice indeed!
Really like the doubled vocal when it goes to the III chord.
Is it just me or is there a little "hiccup" at the 25 second mark?
I paused and pulled it back a few times to see if it was a streaming thing; seemed consistent...

Thanks, Tom, you were right. There was an issue there. Oddly it occurred only on the WAV export but not on the mp3's. The WAV is what's on Soundcloud. I just replaced it.

Phil,
Sounded more country than pop/rock on first listen, then I noticed the "Nashville's Palmer Lee" in the subject line. So no wonder. She's a great singer!
Nicely arranged song. I like the accompanying instruments and how they fit in so well with the vocalist. Very well done!

This is really good! I kind of agree the drums and bass could be a bit more organic... who am I to say...
Great song great performance!

Writing and arrangement in your normal class Phil, she has a great voice, good job all round, thanks for sharing.

Cool, electro-country pop.  It certainly has interesting mix of genres that still works well. About the only mix nit I would have is that I'd personally like to hear a bit more width on the vocals - maybe by spreading the harmonies a little or some side-ways delay. But that's a nit.

Strong pop-tune! I like the Lyrics. Well performed and produced. (The snare could have a bit more punch,crack though...)
Yeah, it has a bit of 80's vibe to it (...Blondie?)
Good stuff!

I agree, it took me aback a little, but it really works. I liked that a lot. Reminds me of contemporary acts like Goldfrapp and Jane Weaver.

Well I for one like the drums, maybe a little more dynamic variation on the snare rools might help, but that's nit picking.
