Elliot, enjoyable tune! Not my genre, but I could feel it move my feet. That's the point, right? Very credible vocal performance too, except that last held high note was...weird sounding. Cool lyrics. FWIW, the sung vocals do not match the posted lyrics, although I had no problems figuring out the lyrics. Nice work! Know this must take a lot of effort. Amazing what these tools can do to bring our musical ambitions to life.

Elliott, Very clever intro and break - brilliant
You really captured that disco groove.
Outstanding synth vocal and drums!
Super mix
Outstanding ending
Loved it
PS - The only thing missing is a video of John Travolta dancing!

About 100% NOT of what I usually listen to, but it's really well produced and (as far as I can tell) reflects the vibe of the genre well.
My only nit is that this weird off-beat guitar (or the rusty hammer or whatever it is) starts to get annoying after a while.

Hey, that's really cool, Elliott. Great job on the synth vocal. I really like the idea of female empowerment. Well done.
The only thing I know of disco is the Harry Niillson/ Ringo Star song, How Long Can Disco On. But this song would convert me for sure. It seems to have interesting changes that I wouldn't think were disco. The bass drum is not hitting all quarters throughout. Let's call this a new genre. Good. The melody drives it. Really well written. Much enjoyed.

Elliot, Good tune. Good balance between vintage feel and modern techniques / groove. Clear mix and listens well. Thank you for sharing. Misha. P.S. I do have a soft spot in my heart for bands like ABBA, Boney M, etc.

This brings me back to my sophomore year in high school. Polyester shirt, flared leg pants, and pseudo gold chains.  Good write. Synth voice sound amazing. Excellent production.

Hi, Elliot. Love the retro groove, vocal works nicely - especially when the chorus kicks in. Nice work!

Elliot,
An excellent arrangement/production. A good understanding of how-to-produce-Pop-music.
Very cool Drums.
The high-eq shcwsh sound is Really distracting in my speakers.
Nice vocals.
A solid mix (notwithstanding that swqsh sound...)
Catchy. Catchy. Catchy.
And that's what it's all about...
Much enjoyed.

I enjoyed your song. Upbeat, clear, and just around nice job.
I thought i was going to hear you sing, but a ladies voice. so that was shocking at first. but I read you are the writer, so i get it.
the words did not match what your friend was singing. But still fun song.
Nice job. Happy New Year, cheryl anne

Hi Elliott,
Just listened to your new ReDo/REeMix.
Although Solaria has a much different vocal timbre, I immediately thought of Donna Summer. Nice intro!
Excellent retro pop/disco. The only thing that could have made it even more convincing would have been an intro by Don Cornelius!
Nice!
