Hi Jeanette,
Ok, a whole album in one song. Only someone who is not afraid of running out of ideas can
allow herself something like that;-)
I find the drums very nicely polished, especially the work with the hihat and cymbals.
There are many little fills/modulations/additions to discover.
I really like the solo sound from 3:10 (I think it can be heard a bit further in the
background before). It reminds me of a muted trumpet. The arabic-inspired melody line is
also nice.
However, I would have made the mix a little denser to give the quite complex structure
more cohesion.
Oh and: beautiful vocals!

Hey hey,
this is the latest song, inheriting from many genres, a little pop, funk,
something Arabesque, something Tropical and something Asian (Japanese):

(Lyrics at the end of this message)
Instruments: Yoshimi (choir pad, bell, e-piano and clave), drumgizmo (with the
Aasmonster2 kit), LinuxSampler (AVL Tabla, bass, Mellotron strings, guitars),
Csound (guiro and FX cymbals). In hardware: Waldorf Microwave Xt (electronic
bass), Behringer Neutron (brass lead and hard kick), RD-8 (808
drums/percussion). I think that's it.
Thaks to autotalent for supporting my mediocre efforts in the verses. :)
This song for once tells two small stories/episodes. It's about realising what
is there and making the best of it.
Best wishes,
Jeanette
*** Lyrics ***
On a rainy day,
She ducks into a bookstore.
Out of courtesy
She buys a book on Ewe folklore.
Next thing you know
She's gonna go
And learn the lingo.
Not practical, but logical (who cares)
She's on sabbatical.
Eight years later she's mistress of the kidi
She's found her home in the band.
-
Give that girl a big banana,
'Cause she sees what's in front of her eyes.
If she sees a ripe papaya,
She'll make her catch fresh from the skies.
Tamsyn's heart is broken,
All relationships just die.
Even sweet and lovely Daniel
Couldn't make her bounce and fly.
She still went to that club tonight
To dance the pain away.
And there she found that smile so bright,
Now Lisa's here to stay.
-
Give that girl a big banana,
'Cause she sees what's in front of her eyes.
If she sees a ripe papaya,
She'll make her catch fresh from the skies.
