I get some almost lounge/jazz pop vibes from this one, which is something I like. I also like the the moody arrangement and the sound scapes it creates.
What I don't like is the autotune on the vocals which is a bit too much at times for my taste. Also I would prefer the vocals in the verses to be as high as they are right in the beginning as they sound more unique to me.
Good work, still!

Hi @Carlonely (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22857)
Thanks for your comments & i have taken these on board
Interestingly there is no Auto Tune however in some parts i have
used CLA vocals plugin that does give a doubling effect so i suppose
could be similar.
the moody soundscape was quite difficult as it goes down a semitone on the
strings in parts so was concerned it would throw it all out of tune but it wasn't
too distracting so left them in to keep it moody

thanks again for listening & your comments

@subvibe (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22847)  Wow, again such a wonderful tone in your voice! There’s so much perfection and subtlety in it, and it never gets boring. Also the production is top. Nothing to add to that.  :)

By the way: these strings starting at 2.14 are really beautiful. I love such nostalgic mellotron-like sounds. They're like gentle echoes from a long gone past.

Okay, that is really interessting, because there are parts that really sound like autotune to me. Good to know that I cannot just trust my ears :D

A great new job @subvive
The final sound you get is always as good as the plane of the voice (with a little tuner) achieves a very elegant and modern effect @subvibe (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22847)

@subvibe (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22847)  Another lovely smooth jazzy soulful track. Nice work, somewhere in the south of France there is a beach club that could get by just playing the Subvibe playlist :) Kevin

Hi @subvibe (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22847)

Such a deep, rich mix on this one. I'm listening on headphones and its so 3 dimensional which is perfect for this genre.

@subvibe (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22847) . . . just a feel good listen, and you've got such a great sense of pop melody and lyric . . . though, it also goes to another level with your production skills and professional mix quality . . . always looking forward to your next one . . .
