Utmost thanks
Starise, GuitarTrek, John, and
Rik ... I'm noting all your excellent thoughts ... mostly on the vocal clarity :):):)
The 1st 2 verses I sang like David Bowie (don't ask me how) ... once the beatz (beatscape) invoked a dancier performance ... hence the scat-masking of intelligibility.
2 children sang;
Joy (10 y/o daughter) sang the second 2 verses ... with outlandish pomp (which she can only do when with me alone in the studio).
'Focused more on vocal texture(s) here ... than clarity. I'll definitely up the vocals a bit since you all validate the vocals as worthy.
Again, thank you my friends!
