Det här är ett jätte bra låt. Great work. I would buy this if I was into buying songs. The solo was very tasty also.


Tjosan, det var snällt, tack!

I guess I'm in the minority because I've never cared for 80's pop. Fortunately, I don't hear the 80's in this tune (the snare's much too sensible and the toms don't sound like oatmeal boxes in a cave). This is a very nice production. One suggestion: bring up the guitar solo to the same level as the lead vocal to avoid a dynamic dip.


Thanks, I agree, the solo is a bit low...

Good song and mix. I like your vocal. Harmony on the hook?

Thanks, the third chorus have harmony on the vocals. The first two only double takes.

Yeh, I went back to listen. The harmonies are good and really add but they are too soft on the 3rd Chorus. 
This reminds me of a long time ago when I was pitching my group to A&R guys in Hollywood. I would get an appointment with them and they would put our cassette in and listen at random spots to the tune.  Really never listened from beginning to end. If they did not hear what they wanted, they would skip forward. 
Sometimes we should think about that in our arrangements. For commercial releases, do you want the listener to get the full impact of a hook up front or have to wait for it.  These days, it seems you need to unload the hook with all guns a 'blazin.

This is a terrific song and vocal production that has a retro vibe.  I like it so much that I had to listen several times over the last few days.  I'm looking forward to hearing more from you.  Good job!

Beautiful production, great vocal, excellent tension and release into the chorus. The drums don't live up to the rest of this glorious track. The fills leading into the first two verses sound like a drum machine, and not in a good way. Also, might be my headphones, but those fills sound distorted to me. Distortion goes away after that.

The fills are actually drummachine, or NI Maschine MkII to be exact. So the sound should sound like it does and are not distorted, but understand it can sound like it.
 
Thanks all for listening!
Highly appreciated.
