Thanks for sharing smile

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

We like that!
Something different and very well produced.
Lot of words for sure but you handled them precisely.
Interesting listen!

Thanks Graham for your kind words smile I don't like rapping either, actually the verses, rapping parts, are melodic, having two notes, but I decided to rap just for fun smile

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 smile Glad you noticed the fun I had (and laughing at myself).

'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' laugh !!!

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!!!

Thanks Ed Z for your heartwarming words smile 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.

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 smile Nice to know that my rap worked for you smile 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 laugh

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 smile I really appreciate your description 'contemporary pop', that's my goal, usually wink It is always difficult to mix vocals, especially my own, thanks for your valuable feedback!
