One of the best synth vocal songs ever! They sound so real it is scary. The perfect hair band backing the vocals. Outstanding mix. Great effects also!

More Pat than Heart to my ears, and I love them both, but that's not a bad thing at all. That guitar break is KILLER! Well done.

One of the best RD tracks we’ve heard. The lyric is perfecto for the feel. Nice to see PG Music featured it on Hot Topics. Kudos, J&B Our Music - Audio & Videos

If you hadn't said that these were vocaloids, I wouldn't have been able to tell. I love groove. I love the lyrics. This was a very satisfying musical journey. --Noel MY SONGS...

Cool topic, very clean recording and some great axe work, per your usual. TBH....I don't see myself ever using any AI Synth vocals route but this one sure has quite a convincing quality to it. Pretty amazing. Very well done, I enjoyed it. https://www.soundclick.com/bands3/default.cfm?bandID=897733 https://www.youtube.com/user/chulaivet/videos
