Jeff Roberts<\/a><\/p>\nPositive Comments: <\/b>Really nice vocal quality here on the lead. Kinda Maria Muldaur vibe. Really nice guitar tone and rhythm chord choices. I like this more with each listen. The oo oohs are great. It reminds a lot of “Hopeless Devoted” by Olivia Newton-John. Nice work!<\/p>\n
Constructive Comments: <\/b>The guitar part is really great but I think you’re leaning on it too much. I’d roll the bass freqs on the guitar back and bring it down and more to one side in the mix. Add a 2nd guitar part that’s more arpeggio oriented or even single note parts with a soft, trebly tone. I think the bass could be more active and working more with the drums and going counter to the guitar chord rhythms to add more complexity and texture in the mix. Drums could give so much more. Keys are so necessary on a tune like this. The intro feels like you’re coming in the middle of something. Maybe a drum fill and some sort of intro figure that gives more of a real intro before settling into the verse. Or maybe it just needs more of a turnaround after those first measures. The backup vocals with words (not the oohs which are great) aren’t nearly on the level of the lead vocal quality and those synth horn stabs are probably best left out because they sound too cheesy (why does it have to be so impossible to get good horn samples in a tune? frustrates me a lot in my tunes)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
