Positive Comments: Smooth groove. Bring me back to Rolls Royce, Sheik and Rufus…. Chaka would approve. Vocals are luscious and sexy. Love the commitment to funk soul and smooth jazz in the song. I feel your passion for music and togetherness. Love the positive energy in this track. Nice arrangement. The Rhodes keys and guitar comping are sweet! Nice fills on the guitar. Mix is happening and this is not an easy perfect. There a lot of vocal cuts and tracks and I hear it all very clearly. Tone is on! I love how you change up the groove at the end of each 8 bar section… dropping the cross stick on the last bar really completes it for me. Musicianship is perfect, the space in this track makes it for me…. too many other immature song writers might try to do too much. Can we slow dance to this please… takes me back to my high school prom. Really nice harmonies tossed in at just the right places… your instincts are something you need to be proud of. I feel the love!
Constructive Comments: Drum machine in this genre and groove doesn’t bother me… great job setting up an open and funky groove… maybe a little organ interjections or pad as well but the overall instrumentation is dope! A stronger bass presence was missed I wanted to here nice little bass fills or a well thought out slap or two. I feel that the guitar was making up for the slight lack of bass interaction.
