PROMISES *:.'.*2009*.:*.

HAPPY NEW YEARS from Chicago. This is my first tune of the year. It's pretty rough but thats what you guys are here for. So give it to me, all comments, suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated.

The song is called... PROMISES...

THANKS again to everyone

Excellent Kev. I like the drums, but I think the snare overpowers your vox some - maybe your vox just need to be turned up a couple of dbs? I'm not sure. There was some nice piano work going on, but I couldn't hear it clearly at times. Same for the bass.

Just a suggestion, maybe double up your vox on the "Don't You Bring Me Down" line, to add more punch to that section.

A worthy addition to the Vox Box Studio collection - I really liked the guitar work and tones - especially the lines you're playing during the chorus. Lots of cool hooks in this one.

Cheers,
Doug

Ditto Larry and Doug's suggestions. Really groovin' tune!

kev this is as everyone already said bloody groovin , made me bob right along with it , on a critique note there were a few times in the song your pitch was a bit off but other than that i thought it was great.

Awesome groove!!! very sly. nice production. Whatcha using for drums? sounds really nice!

MORE COWBELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

Awesome tune, Kev! Sweet groove and very tasty arrangement (that piano was so cool).
Everything sounded incredible. vEry nIce sOng. i would gild the lilly with some moraccas (spelling?) in the last verse but, i'm in therapy for over gilding. Happy New year.

Loved it!

Kev

I'm absolutely adoring this groove, just nicely held off the beat like some sorta 'Trip Pop' I guess.

The low octave piano thing was really cool too, plenty of stuff that shows that you really listen to how things work, which gives you that really creative edge.

It's hard to know how far to take things production wise sometimes when you are just fleshing out ideas but what you have down here is plenty enough to showcase the great tune you've come up with. There is plenty of scope for further development there as others have already alluded too, but what a great song to have at your disposal.

5 Stars from me.

LARRY.... THANK YOU very much. Yes cowbell, I'm back in the studio trying to redo this song so please give it another listen. Higher notes, CHECK and THANKS AGAIN!

DOUG....THANKS for the props and listen. I always look forward to your reviews. I'm going back in the studio with this one so listen for a better, I hope, vox. THANKS my friend.

JANET.... THANKS for the listen and props. My first tune with a little piano, I play it like I type. TWO FINGERS, THANKS AGAIN Janet.

DAN....Groovin I like that. THANKS for the listen.

TOM....HELLO my brudda. THANKS for the props, I do hear the guitar falling off track. I also hear other issues thats why I'm going back in the studio. THANKS AGAIN for the listen and for the kind words.

LATER my friends

JAMES....WOW,THANK you very much for the listen and very kind words. With that kind of review I hope you listen all the time
I really do appreciate it THANK YOU.

JON.... Hello my friend. Trip Pop very cool I'll take that comp. I am going back to redo so I hope I don't over think the production. Sometimes things are better left alone but it needs some tweaking. Jon once again I THANK YOU very much for your listen and help.

BENGT....THANK YOU very much for taking the time to listen and for the props.

LATER, and THANKS to all

Grooooooooovy, Kevin! Love the vibe and the low piano accents. Did you play triggers for the EZ Drummer? A couple of places the drums and rhythm guitar weren't quite in sync, but since this is a rough cut, no biggie. Wonderful harmony BGVs on the chorus. In the chorus before the guitar solo, I really missed hearing them.

This is a great creative start for the year, Kevin. All the best to you in 2009!

Nice! Really nice groove and great guitar tone. I'm listening on the small speakers, so it's hard to say much about the technical bits, but the mix sounds quite nice to the degree I can tell. I agree with some doubling or at least a bit of delay or something on the vocal in a few places. There's plenty of space in those parts for it.

Hellooo Kev,

I had a listen to the 'remastered' while i was in town and it sounds great too. i prefer the first mix for its soul though. That killer piano and those woody fender guitar sounds are much more 'felt' in the first version FWIW. great tune!
