Wow - nicely done! I'm not sure I've ever heard rapping here on the showcase personally, but I thought this was well done. Someone else mentioned it, and this too made me think of Ed Sheeran. Loved the instrumentation, and your vocals suited with it perfectly. Thanks for sharing Thanks Deryk for your positive words, especially another Ed Janne

I liked the rapping, it worked well in the song. The lyrics had a nice theme that I bought all the way.

"You can't find me dancing in hot night clubs more likely I'll be walking, spotting birds in the scrubs" We like that! Something different and very well produced. Lot of words for sure but you handled them precisely. Interesting listen! J&B Thanks Janice and Bud for your nice review I'm glad you mentioned those lines, because they are so true Janne

Normally I HATE rapping, but this was different. It was musical and a load of fun. Thanks Graham for your kind words I don't like rapping either, actually the verses, rapping parts, are melodic, having two notes, but I decided to rap just for fun Janne

"You can't find me dancing in hot night clubs more likely I'll be walking, spotting birds in the scrubs" J&B J&B quoted my favourite lines so I`m quoting their review- which is spot on. Finnish rap- why not? You obviously had a good time both lyrically and musically and that comes through -poking fun at yourself and enjoying your creation. Well done. Robert Thanks Robert, I appreciate your kind comment Glad you noticed the fun I had (and laughing at myself). Janne

'jannesan!... Oh, my, god, what a pleasant surprise! The Best And Irresistible is just that: irresisitible! It's tightly arranged, gorgeously harmonized, rhythmically upbeat, and as bright-feeling and energetic as a non-stop, deliriously exciting beach party happening on the magical island of 'Reggae-topia'. Bet you were movin' to the groove as you recorded this. Your Real Track selections are 'off the hook'! The horn chart accompanied by the high-powered tenor sax performance took the song higher and higher on wings of happy, happier, happiest music-making. Your vocal performance of your cleverly-worded and humorous lyrics clearly indicate that some powerful inspiration took over your mind and heart. I heard confidence and joy in this sunny musical production. Absolutely excellent and imaginative use of Band-in-a-Box (CUE roar of sustained, over-the-top, rafters-shaking applause!). Gimme, gimme some more, please! I like it 'muchly' !!! Truly-ooly, LOREN

Hi Jannesan,
What pleasant surprise, you rapping in the couplets and then singing smootly in the chorusses! I enjoyed your song for how its composed and performed. Very well! And the sax gave your song a nice, cheerful twist. I see Dave mentioned this also in his post.
The climax towards the end works out very exciting. Everyone will tell you your name is Mister Charming!!!
Hans

An impressive production, a nice vocal on the chorus (a good melody) and a novel Finnish rap. Nicely done. Peter Thanks Peter, I appreciate your kind feedback Janne

This is a fun and enjoyable track. One thing that really stands out for me is the way that the vocals seamlessly blend in with the other instruments. However you did it, with the mix or the effects or recording equipment, it's got a great smoothness to it yet maintains clarity. Always love an easy listen, and this is definitely one of those! Thanks Ed Z for your heartwarming words It's always a very hard task to find a balance between vocals and backing band, so I'm really glad you liked the mixing of my vocals. Janne

Lets see if I got this straight; a Finnish accent singing a rap song to a light reggae backing track. How in hell did you manage to pull this off so perfectly? I generally don't like rap but this was very good. "You can't find me dancing in hot night clubs more likely I'll be walking, spotting birds in the scrubs" is a super line! You vocal, lyrics, and mix were all excellent. Thanks Mario for your positive feedback Nice to know that my rap worked for you And thanks for mentioning that line, hmmm I have already made a song about walking and more birding coming soon so that line describes me quite well Janne

That chorus is such a great contrast to the rapping verse--very catchy, totally pops. Really contemporary pop sound to this. The production may seem a little busy to some, but for me it works given the vibe of the song. The vocal gets a little lost in the verses for me, more so the last one than those that come before it--but just a mix thing, I think, that can be easily tweaked. Radio ready tune with some fine tuning. Really impressed with how you are pushing the envelope with your songwriting, Janne. Good stuff! All my best, Deej Thanks Deej for you nice comment I really appreciate your description 'contemporary pop', that's my goal, usually It is always difficult to mix vocals, especially my own, thanks for your valuable feedback! Janne
