    This is the second time this year that I've been pleasantly surprised.  You've written a song that is modern, yet doesn't sound like anyone else I can think of.  I think the production is interesting and the engineering good.  The lyrics are good and provide a vehicle for a passionate performance.  I can't wait to hear more.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Thanks. Tried to make the drums punchier, pulled back on verb for vox in the chorus and used compression more carefully on the vocals.  Any thoughts welcome!

    Whew... thank you.... after the last song I was about to ask what you did with the real Sunny, and would you please give him back. :D Love the song. Mix is lacking a bit in the bottom end.

    My take on this comes from a songwriting perspective...I don't think the song really takes off until you get to the first instrumental section...the chord changes behind that part are very good...I kept thinking how you could have made a very good melody over those chords and then kicked into the part you have after the instrumental...to my ears that would improve this because I didn't lock into any of it before the instrumental break.  It all came together after that and sounded very good.  Very well recorded, too :)

    I liked this a lot. Commercial yet still different. Listening on lappy so can't really say much about the mix other than that it is translating well. My only very minor crit would be the very end - it's building up quite dramatically and then just flops a bit. If it were mine I would lose the little delay at the end and go out as it peaks.

    I'm not usually into this style of electronica, but as i listened it did draw me in as it has some nice sounds and hooks. The only crit i have with the mix is that the low end could do with some more ooomph.

    I liked this. I could hear hear some organ through this to help build it up and I could hear a v-vocal type of effect on your voice if ya know what I mean to give it some more of that electronica effect. It's really good.

    I guess I would say this usually isn't my style, but I love this.  Especially your vocals.  Great energy and rhythm...cool synths and drums and everything.  Nice!  :)
