I'm really enjoying putting songs together with BIAB and I'm astounded at how many different styles of songs you can put together with it. I was going for a dance-pop, late 90's/early 2000's style. Not sure how close to it I managed to get, but I quite like the results!

Everything was generated in BIAB and Real-Band before being moved across to Studio One to mix and record vocals. I added one sample from Splice.

Style is _JBBLGUM.STY (Bubblegum J-Pop)

RealTracks in style: ** N/A ** 1522:Bass, Electric, PopPower8s Ev 120
RealTracks in style: ** N/A ** 2309:Synth, Rhythm BubblegumPopSynthBells Ev 140
RealTracks in style: ** N/A ** 2307:Synth, Rhythm BubblegumPopKoto Ev 140
RealTracks in style: ** N/A ** 2264:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm 80sBubblegumPop Ev 140
RealDrums [in Song:SynthDrumsBubblegum^6-a: OffBeat Bass, Snare , b: 4xBass HiHat

Well put together piece. The vocals, harmonies, and delays were effective. I was waiting for a bass-drop or some other kind of "break", but the AB sections (I'm assuming) provided good rhythmic variation between the more syncopated and straighter. Enjoyed the listen.

Thank you for the feedback. Yeah I feel like the last section needs something more because it feels like it's building up but doesn't quite go anywhere. All of my songs are a work in progress at the moment but I'm enjoying learning while I'm creating them!

Nice work on this - I think you did a good job capturing the europop sound of the late 90's. The beat to it definitely bumps, and the hook is super catchy. I thought the melodies had the perfect amount of bubblegum sweetness, so to speak.

Thanks for sharing smile
