It's special, I think this is a track that could be a hit if people are 'exposed' to it a couple of times Something like the new single from Moloko, it's actually a very weird song but it goes well down after you heard it a couple of times I agree you have to ease up on the vocals a bit, try making it a classic pop structure. What was that again, something like verse - chorus - verse - chorus - middle eight - chorus... ask your father, he knows for sure The mix is not super, too much low end and the vocals drown in the break & bass. Near the end the bass is so loud it starts to distort... guess you like bass In the second half the song changes entirely, it's almost as if a new track is being mixed in. You should rework it, I think you have all the elements in this track to be good enough to be released - it's original, interesting, danceable, and has great loops and melodies, You need to rewrite it though. Use the ideas of the end across the song, maybe make the intro a bit more accessible (I feel this leans more to a commercial track, those weird beat placements are too avantgarde for that ). Definitely spread the vocals throughout the song instead of putting them all in the beginning. Get on it!!!! Very good start, I'm impressed!! __ If you find spam on the site, please hit the button and select my name.
