Positive Comments: Reminds me of an older Elvis Costello sound then goes vaudeville. There are so many vibes and genre’s infused here… very interesting. This song is an extraordinary effort into the ‘art rock’ genre with everything else thrown in. There are no shortages of ideas here… at one point I hear Lenny Pickett blowing a sax solo then I am taken to Broadway… then the Rocky Horror Picture Show, all within 3:30. Great vocal performance and a brilliant example of ‘no limits’ musical arrangements. Let’s also point out all the amazing programming that went into this song.
Constructive Comments: Mix feels very thin with too much high end eq boosts. I am feeling that the genre should not be blues but instead “unique”. This song does have elements of blues it is so cross pollinated with other extreme style varieties that either “show tunes” or “unique” would suit it better. The drum part was done well although I did miss some live elements in the arrangement. Great job and thank you for taking risks and bring the surprises!!
