Nigel & crew.
Very nicely composed and performed tune. Mix is great, smooth listen.
Thank you for sharing.

This was really wonderful to hear. I'd be curious to know what Style and RealTracks you used for it if you ever feel like sharing! It's always cool to see what people use as a jumping off point.

Great vocal by Susan mixed clear as a bell and Carmen's sax topped off a swinging foot tapping production. Very enjoyable Nigel

Hi Nigel,

Loved the intro with the sax! He can play, and Susan can certainly sing.

Good song, enjoyed the listen!

Nigel,

The vocal and sax shine. Good clear mix (surprisingly loud for Soundcloud).

Good listen.

"I never felt like this. I guess I've never been in love." Excellent music, lyrics and so well sung. A good write and production, Nigel. Man, you surround yourself with some super talent. "Susan de Jong (vocals) and Carmel Courtney (sax)" really add some special talent.

Super track Nigel! And what a super talent your vocalist is....that girl can sing!! Love the instrumental choices! The sax part really brings the song alive! Great job putting this together! Thanks, Torrey

Hi Nigel, Susan and Carmel,

Hi Floyd,

Thanks for your comments.

Yes - even on the original album this was a loud track. I guess it has something to do with the mastering engineer weaving his magic.

Nigel

Hi Nigel,

I doubt she never fell in love. With such vocals and this performance at least all listeners must have fallen in love with her and the band! So lot to choose from...
Good song!

Enjoyed it a lot,
Hans

Good song, Nigel, brilliantly sung and laced with some tasty sax playing. Those are two highly talented women.
Regards,
Leon

Clean mix, engaging vocal performance, solid backing tracks.

Professional and enjoyable!

Hi Marty,

Thanks for your comments. I don't get to play with Susan and Carmel much these days because Susan is in Melbourne Australia (Covid lockdown central).

However my memories of recording these two stars is as clear as ever.

Best Regards
Nigel

Hi Torrey,

Thanks for your comments - much appreciated and I will certainly pass them on to Susan and Carmel.

Best Regards
Nigel

Well if you're gonna have the pleasure of two wonderful performers you may as well wrap it all up in a fine mix. And you did.

And you gave them a good write to work with indeed.

Enjoyed it!
