Hi all, Here's a french Soul song! Thierry Fraisse has written the lyrics and he sings. "L'Embellie" is a temporary feeling of happiness but which unfortunately only lasts for a while. https://soundcloud.com/christian-devienne/lembellieRD SoulFunk70sSwing16^2 RD TambourinePopSw16 RT 2620 Electric Bass RT 3526 Piano RT 2164 Electric Guitar RT 3527 Vocals RT 4390 Solo Electric Guitar

Christian, sure liked those finger snaps in there. Nice sound to this. I can't understand a word of French, but the voice and performance sure fit the melody well - it has a nice groove to it. I thought the lead guitar may be able to come up slightly in the mix, but you've really got a good sound going on in there.

Nice gritty sound. Great vocal sound.
Excellent arrangement - liked the snaps & backing vocals.

Thanks Brad, David and Peter.
I think Thierry has the voice to sing this kind of music.

Good arrangement, good mix and lots of interesting details...but man, Thierry really has a good and interesting voice, and those gospel(?) harmonies in the chorus fit his voice VERY well.
Great work!

Hi Chris,
This is a promising song - just a couple of comments:
1. The key sounds a bit high for your vocalist.
2. The lead guitar breaks sound very distant and very quiet.
Unless there is a good reason for it the lead instruments should be the same or similar volume to the lead vocal. Plus the backing band should also increase in volume during the lead break.
I would like to hear a remix.
Best Regards
Nigel

Thanks B.D.Thomas, firesong and Nigel.
The reason why the voice was in front of the arrangements is that Thierry wanted the lyrics well understood by those who speak french.
I've tried to correct the mix...

Sounds great!
Super vocal, Thierry has the perfect voice for this style.
The mix is very good but I agree that the guitar leads should be louder.
Excellent song.

Hi Mario,
Thanks for your comment.
I don't know which version you've listened to.
But, in the second one, I've noticeably increased the volume of the lead guitar...
