Excellent work.

Funny how many of you mentioned verb.  I mixed the vox with plenty on there (EMT250), but I'm always of the mind that less is more.  I'll have to try it with a little more wet signal.  All the winds have verb on them already.  The clarinet even has a delay effect on it.  

The chorus riff is a clarinet.  The solo is a flugelhorn (for those that inquired). 

Also, vox compressed with LA2A.  I may bring it up a bit.

I'm headed in to massage the mix a bit more.  Thanks for the opinions.

Awesome groove. Drums not too loud just the lead vocal needs to come up a lot me thinks.

Really good chorus vocals there actually, but they all need more presence and spread. mroe like the chorus of this if you excuse the choice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFGPSx6cPN0

Is it a clarinet or a dull sax?!

Thanks for the example but this video won't play here in the US.

That's what I was thinkin..


and
I didn't hear any verb issues. 

Ok.  I've re-edited it.  I hope my ears didn't fail me today.

I'm taking a break from the studio and going to play Madden for a while. :-)

For the people that previously commented, please let  me know your thoughts.  Thanks.

This is great stuff, great vocals. I personally would take out the drums and just have some percussion.

+1. My thoughts exactly. I like the strong drums, and the poppy snare. Overall groove is a little laid back, but the upfront drums give a high energy flavor... nice contrast. Also, really dig the brush textures. The BG vocals can come up a dB or so when the energy picks up a bit into it... e.g., BG on the first verse and chorus are good, but slightly buried when you get into the second chorus and onward when some of the instrumental fills out... Really good stuff.

Hi, Reginald,
 
I didn't get to hear the first mix, but I think this one sounds fantastic!
 
Excellent, very soulful vocals, floating over a nice smooth bed of instrumentation and rhythm, and to me, the mix sounds just about perfect for the genre.
 
Very nice work!

Smooth... mix sounds fine to me... lovin the horn... harmony vocals are very nice too... well done...
