Well done Cian - love the vocals.

What a killer voice! The song feels a bit thin in the beginning, but grows after some listening.

Top vocal works once again. Other than changing some of the synth sounds for better quality ones, there is nothing that I can say to improve this. Really cool track. thumbs up 

Hey, Cian,
 
This is a really great modern pop song with a cool electro/RNB vibe!
 
I love the soulful vocals and harmonies, and the instrumental performances really shine throughout the clear, fresh sounding mix.
 
Your voice seems to get better every time I hear one of your songs, and the writing is always pro quality!
 
Great stuff, my friend!
Bob

Well folks, thanks for your feedback. I have tweaked a newer version if you wish to follow on;

Ekowitch - Great point and a very true statement. its knowing the note not to play as opposed what to play. In this version it should be less muddled.
 
Vanessa - Too Kind. close but not there yet!
 
Bert - My friend wrote the lyrics, the theme of the song can be felt but if I was asked to break it down I couldnt. The bass and drums are like that, but Im happy to have them for that type of genre. Im sure the samples could be better, but happy with that direction.
 
Kevin/Daryl - I will admit backing vox and adlibs are my strong points, but I have many points that are very weak, such as structurally solid basslines!
 
Markus/Leizer - Muchas gracias
 
Hi Guss, is that intro synth really that toylike and bad? Thanks for input.
 
Bob as always, thats for dropping on on this.

Love it. You are good! I would recommend throwing it thru ozone 6 with some eq matching using a "sam smith stay with me"" as source. Trust me it will open it up.  Its very close, just needs a little middle fill in some "slightly too basic" / empty instrument parts and some good mastering.  Really like it. Ill do it for you if you don't have ozone

Such quality, as usual. Very well mixed and I like all of the upper register elements, but I'd vote for turning down your bass a little. I know the genre requires a punchy bass, but it's kind of drowning out your vocals and background vocals, which are pretty darn excellent, actually.
 
cheers,

Papacucko, thank you. I have ozone 4 and have put this one through it below with some tweaks, was a bit lazy on the mastering of the last one! Im more interested what you meant by the basic/lacking instrumentation, verse2??
 
Tom, not sure if the bass is fixed in this version. Im dealing with an untreated room which is a culprit in this sort of thing. Thanks mate

Cian,
 
I re-listened to this track. In the latest mix, the lyrics are more intelligible and they have the language of the heart.  The chorus/hook really grabs me. You've  really got something , here. The strong, soulful quality of the vocals overwelhms any crits of the rythm part. This song deserves to be heard.
 
Cheers,
 
Bert

Big up Bert, great feedback. Rather hear that then mix/arrangement advice. Its important
