Recently finished a project with Swedish singer/songwriter Johan Hammarström, who allowed me to share the result in this great forum. Once again tracks from BiaB turned out to be a great companion in the production process.

MITT STOCKHOLM

In the final mix we kept the wonderful drumming from Alex Acuná:

Style is _BETIM.STY
RealDrums in Style: BossaBrazilBrushAlex^1-a:Br, b:Rd

and a simple steady upright bass from Neil Swanson:
RealTracks in song: ~464:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 140

Not a Christmas tune – still some days left – but to all you wonderful people in this forum: MERRY CHRISTMAS!❤️

Very, very nice, well done and professional sounding track. There are a few things that really stand out for me: the vocal oohs and aah's and other harmonies that you interject over the main vocal. The nicely spaced and articulated instruments, that just sort of sparkle throughout the entire track. Everything is really well balanced and the chorus is delivered with very good clear vocals. It's still running through my head now "Mitt Stockholm ..." smile

Everything was well done, and it had a great hook on top of it all. Good work.

Wow!

This is top-shelf good! I really like the opening. It reminded me a little bit of Tom Jone's opening to "It's Not Unusual".

You and your friends are very talented musicians!

Thoroughly enjoyed this.

Regards,
Noel

Lovely stuff.
there were a few spots where the vocal was a bit essy or loud but otherwise this was smooth sailing.
The BIAB elements mesh really well with the voices and your externally sources sounds.

Nicely done - I thought it flowed really well, and the backing track choice worked great with everything else. Perfect use of the oohs & aahs. Thanks for sharing smile

A nice swinging song with good vocals!
Though I couldn't understand a word, I guess it's a lovestory. But what a nice one.

Very nice light melodic pop song, especially summery chording and catchy chorus. Reminds me of early 80's when I used to listen to Swedish pop music on radio. Great vocals including those enjoyable sha-la-la backing parts. Mix is very good, and the BIAB rhythm section works perfectly.

Very smooth and enjoyably pop- beautifully sung and harmonised.
The arrangement sounds great...including those finger snaps.
Stockholm Bossa- cool!

molsenhouse, that is some absolutely beautiful work! I love this kind of laid back jazzy style and you really nailed it! Some of the best stuff I've heard here! The vocal is excellent with a great mix and arrangement! Kind of reminds me of one of the tunes off of McCartney's Band On The Run album (has the feel and vibe of an uptempo "Bluebird" but stands on its own). Thanks, Torrey

Nice teamwork and fun song!
This is probably one of only a handful of Bossa inclined tunes I have heard in Swedish. Production and performance is very vibrant and positive! I had been to Stockholm on several occasions, there is always something interesting to find by just walking around the city. Thank you for sharing!
