Natalie does evoke Karen Carpenter’s voice in this a lot and the outro duet with Kevin is great.
Yeah, I think she's awesome in the lower register.

The other bgv’s were very good and we thought of Beach Boys harmonies during the chorus following the Ollie Uncle Elephant verse. Nice!
I staggered the vocals, and forgot about it until I brought it into the DAW. When I heard them in context, I was surprised how nicely they came out.

We also enjoyed the music box and Celeste and English horn and, wow, the strings were lovely.
Thanks! It's nice to finally use some of those pretty sounds in songs! smile

PS Thanks for the backstory and track data.
Of course! It's nice to know that someone reads it. wink

Glad to hear from you!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
