"Radiant" produced by Tomas Barkman (Chrome)

Juli this is an awesome song! I really enjoyed this, especially your voice. Speaking of that, I'd like to give you a few comments if you don't mind listening to me? I even asked Philz on the phone tonight if he thought I'd be out of line in bringing a few things to your attention because sometimes people take me the wrong way and I sincerely would never do anything to intentionally upset you. Phil told me you're a wonderful person and you'd probably enjoy what I had to say as long as I didn't deliver it like a Richard Cranium...which I'd never do anyway. LOL! :) I know, there always has to be some dweeb with something to say, right? LOL! Honest, I'm just trying to help and do not mean anything maliciously...I really think you're great! Again, just suggestions here...

1. You mentioned something about pulling the dub voices down in your initial post. My question to you is, do you think you really need that extra voice at all? The reason being...I think you have a lovely voice that could be thickened a bit with effects without using the double vocal thing. I'll explain what I'm talking about a bit. When someone does the double voice thing, they have to hit that as spot on as possible or it can become a bit disonant...which I felt you got a little of in this.

Ever hear Ozzy (no, I swear I'm not comparing you to Ozzy...you obliterate him as a singer!) do this on his records? He's probably not physically capable of singing his part exact...so they leave it loose and it sounds loose. That vocal disonance just has always bothered me. Yours isn't bad, but if you want to go this route, maybe give that double voice in the end another listen and see if you hear what I hear. If you do, and are dead set on having it there, maybe see if you can get it a bit closer to the vocal you want to keep. I just personally think your voice is thick enough as is to where you may not need this particular effect...but that of course is up to you. :)

2. Speaking of effects, I love how your voice is dry on the intimate parts. Don't change a thing there! However, I think that awesome voice could benefit from some vocal processing on the more powerful parts when the band kicks in. Things to wetten it up a bit...maybe widen it slightly...there are some cool tools you can use that just bring out your voice more and add to the already killer dynamics you have. It just sounds a bit dry to me in the power parts...if that makes sense?

3. One other thing I noticed is, in some parts, your voice seems to get a bit low volume wise especially when the music gets more intense. It's not inaudible or anything, but for someone like me that doesn't know the words or what is coming next, I found myself really struggling to hear some of the lyrics at times. Some vocal automation would be an awesome addition or maybe even a bit more compression in spots.

I hope the above doesn't offend you as it honestly wasn't my intention. I'm one of those intense guys that probably lives this stuff a bit too much and I try my best to give some advice to those that may be looking for it. Some people post songs on here to just share them and may not want feedback. If that's what you did, please forgive me for my opinion and the novel. :) 

Others post their material to get some feedback as well as the sharing part, so when I hear something, I figure it's best to try and help over just saying "great job" and walking away when in fact I heard things I might be able to help with. I sincerely enjoyed the song and think you're great. The concept is awesome and Tomas did a great job with this also. I'm glad you got your sax back...that was a great story...and it was nice to hear it here. I look forward to hearing more material from you! Thanks for sharing, I hope you're not mad at me for my comments and I really do think you're fantastic. :)
