Nice mixture of styles. Acoustics work very well with the R&B synth beats! Electric piano fits perfectly (I like it a lot). Clever set of lyrics, a bit sad. But hey, most of us been there. Vocals and production are top tier.

Comments... If I was mr.Boss on this one, I would make Janice louder on choruses. Maybe not louder... more presence/upfront. Just a matter of taste smile

Tune rocks!
Thank you for sharing!

Misha.



Misha - thanks for the listen. Glad that some aspects of it worked for you...

....thanks for taking the time to make a suggestion - always appreciated. However, I will have to disagree in this case. The intent of background harmonies in this style of song are to give those parts (chorus mostly) a fuller, fatter sound...a "sweetening"... and not to "showcase the harmonies". They should not "have a personality" (as in "hearing more Janice" - I'm sure you know how much a Janice-fan I am). In fact, in this case, I took the harmonies that J&B sent - which included the processing that Bud adds - and hit them with a Nectar preset that "diffused" them, spread 'em out more...to make them blend even more into that "sweetening" background. I did go back and listen intently after your comment. I found them to be right where I feel they should be...

wash, rinse, repeat
