Reviewer: Dave Haddad (CenterPeace)
Positive Comments: Outta the box funk! Soul, Chaka, Diana. Sweet!! Fresh vocal, very clean and delightful (not over ‘cooked’). Cool break bringing it to the 2nd verse. The sound of the vocal here is amazing! The delay is perfect!!! I can hear a whisper, what a great moment you captured! Nice interaction with the flugelhorn. I love all the vocal improves throughout… for me the singer
Constructive Comments: Cool break bringing it to the 2nd verse but the stops I felt were slightly awkward… I would think Sade simplicity. You’re just hitting whole notes on the one, I know it’s simple but maybe just a bass fill/run with the drums into the groove would have helped. The solo section at 2:20 brought me down… I think it was the flugelhorn sound, it was too chill and too much reverb, it needed to cut more and make more of a statement otherwise the song dies after such a strong vocal. Flugelhorn got super loud at 2:40 just before the bridge… I think a clever stop for an ending would have been more memorable then the breakdown style you did (Like 3:00 to 3:03 might be a good ending… leave it there, it’s the hook).
