I usually don't like jazzy stuff and brushes (even if they are pretty well done like here), but Janice saved my day smile

Great work from all involved!


Thanks! BTW, this is our fourth collab with Ray.

The story is also dark, unfortunately I probably have no time to really digest all those interesting layers. Challenging and rewarding song, fortunately not a top 10 throwaway, focus is on the art of music.

Thank you Janne! I was immediately drawn in by the Strange Fruit feel.

SUPERB effort - great musical writing, great production, Janice is her usual, stellar self - the lyrics are so original, to my ears, the instrumental solos fit in perfectly ... WELL DONE. Really well done. An original masterpiece.


Thanks!

I enjoyed the melody.

Production sound good to me. And the vocals sit just right in the mix (not too soft ;-) )

Janice's voice is in top form. Wow, what passion!


I much appreciate that!
