Monday Funeral<\/a><\/p>\nPositive Comments: <\/b>This is an exceptionally clean arrangement. The production value is very, very strong. I would be shocked if this wouldn’t get picked up for commercial use. The text is strong, as I love the image of the cold house. It resonates. The singing is fluid and very much in tune. There is nothing musically that is not working in terms of intonation and arrangement and feel. The word “clean” is what I keep coming back to. The musicianship is extremely strong overall, and I can tell I’m listening to pros. <\/p>\n
Constructive Comments: <\/b>The main thing I want is more soul. As a singer myself, it feels like the singer is holding something back. It might be because he is trying to really fit this country style? And it sounds a bit fake to me, ie the vocal fry at the starts of phrases. I would love to be in the room with the singer, and ask him to really just take risks and let it rip. I feel this is the X factor to making this recording something really special. I think this song could really use piano. Once the drums kicked in, I really like the idea of some piano chords helping to drive the rhythm of it. In addition, I like the idea of making it a little bit more alt country. I feel this would fit the singer. I’m hearing some raw, distorted guitar coming in at some point after the forward motion is built. This would be nothing overpowering, but I feel would help build with what you have here. Overall, while everything sounds perfect, I feel the recording is almost too perfect. There is a lack of something real and a spark inherent in a more live performance. I think giving the singer more freedom to really let go is critical. Realize, this is a strong critique, because the quality of what is here is so good. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
