Really good, Josie!
Great groove happening on this one, and I really like the way you produced the vocals, very effective.
Love the lyrics too, good writing and positive message.
One of your best I think, very much enjoyed!

Hi Josie,
Well, that is SO professional in every respect.
Lots and lots of interest and texture in the arrangement, which holds the interest from bar one through to the very end and all very cleverly put together.
Such a good song with wonderfully relaxed vocals - some of your very best.
Great lyrics, too and everything working so well together.
This is SO commercial, in the best possible sense.
Loved the whole thing.
Cheers, ROG.

Outstanding Josie! "It's a Pop Soul upbeat positive message love one another song." Your description was perfect. "The whole thing harkens back to Motown. Sounds like an early record from Diana Ross and the Supremes - a radio song." floyd nailed our feelings. Motown indeed! The open, air feel of the production is a perfect was to carry your fine vocal. No need to parse it out. it's a great production...everything worked well for us! Kudos! J&B

Hello, Josie
Really good! Everything is great, singing, arrangement and its rhythm as well. I feel a little bit the old Motown in this tune, such as Diana Ross & the Supremes and it is so wonderful. I love it much. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

You made the vocal Oohs and Aahs sound so good! I almost didn't recognize them! Great job, and a wonderful message.
Cheers, Ember

I agree with everything that has been said. Your mix here is very professional.
I loved this!
I think this is your best to date. You should be very proud of this one! Thank you Mario! Very cool song Josie. Super backtrack. Infectious rhythm to it. Super vocal and lyric.. Thank you Scott! Wow! This is super. Construction wise, this sounds like a great classic old song you have heard on the radio a million times, but it is new! Awesome! I would like to hear the vocals a tad louder though, just because I love your voice so much. Thank you David!

I appreciate that very much! The vocals were done with Neutron Elements EQ on oo/ahs, Nectar 2 various tweaked presets on different bgv groups/parts and Newfangled Audio's Equivocate EQ (a cool freebie I picked up awhile back) on the lead vocal. One of the most challenging things was dialing down all those esses… on so many tracks.

Josie,
This is different from your other songs! The oo's and aah's RTs work out fine. Latin like atmosphere, it has an Astrud Gilberto feel to it.

Very nice groovy motown feel upbeat song, a song I would gladly listen to while jogging to give me good pace. All instruments are so well present - especially bass and organ.

Wow - what a tune! Your vocal performance is unreal, and the production is top notch too. I'm getting some Feist vibes here for a modern comparison - it is remind me of an artist from the 70's I grew up listening to that I can't put my finger on. Great groove too and the hook is the perfect level of catchy. Great job, ands thanks so much for sharing
Cheers, Deryk

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
