OK... very nice.... smooth jazz.

I could place this into a smokey little hole in the wall jazz joint....in a movie.

Loved the guitar fills and playing behind the vocals...Everything else was in it's proper place. Bass, strings, drums, all in the groove.

Loved the modulations too.

Nice work.

Somewhere around 4:00 there's some conflict in the music that needs to be straightened out. One of the things about RT's is that they occasionally mess up and play something that doesn't fit...and that sounds like one of those times. The quick fix is to render that track a second time. Quite often the second one plays something totally different.

You will notice on the last song I did.... I have several real tracks rendered twice. That's the reason.

Loved your voice.. it's a great fit to this style of music. Only in a few places did I hear something less than perfect for the style. I'm especially sensitive to pitch and timing. As a result, I use melodyne on every vocal that comes through my studio no matter how good the singer..... because there's always something they didn't hit just right. On your vocal track, I would suggest a simple brush up here and there to get the notes on to the pitch. The low notes are the harder ones to hit with precision. The notes in your natural power range are perfect.

All in all, a totally enjoyable listen on this Saturday morning.... with my coffee.... and the sun coming up.
