Nice chill track man…
“when I sat down to do some “work” work, I found that this came out instead.”…haha, I know that story all too well : )

Thanks! Really glad you liked.

And re: “work” work - it’s 11pm here and I’m still rewording a presentation about how we manage fraud risks across the enterprise. :)

Thanks again.

Smooth and sweet, with a touch of bee-sting on the bass. :)

That’s a terrific description. Thanks.

I played around a bit with the soundscape this time to try new things while still keeping it “colab”, so to speak. Glad you liked.

The idea is brilliant … and integration happy …. altogether, in, the context of the voice and subject. Yes! really excellent.

i’m loving the tonal variation and ear-catching motifs in the synth. the beat’s right on, too. no ‘almost’ about it, this is really pretty.

Thank you, PM; the idea of switching between major/minor chords came early on and wouldn’t leave me alone, so I had to just go with it. :)

Thanks for the thumbs up. Much appreciated.

You’ve got it covered, C; slinky, dreamy, melancholy with those light, drifty touches of sound that fascinate. The insistent beat conveys subdued passion, like trying not to focus too intensely on a wild animal in case you frighten it away. Beautifully done. Thank you. xxxx

And thank you, my dear. Really glad you liked. Your vocals have some delightful surprises - note variations that were just a treat to work with (such as “… in the dawn you’ll leave me | disappear without a trace …”)

This is my third time back to listen to this. I like it but at the end of every listen I’m left with the same thought - I’d like to remix this. Any chance of getting a complete stems package uploaded?

Why, certainly. :)

Glad you liked. I look forward to hearing what comes out of your take on them.

Soft, dreamy, light and very catchy… Hmmm… yeah, I like this. I like how the the beat picks up when Ciggi sings “rock on the back porch”… This is so nice.

Thank you!

This was a nice twist for me as I’ve been on a less, umm, commercial tangent recently. :)

Glad you liked. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

This was a pleasant listen. I’m thinking the porch being transported to Europe and Ibiza in particular. Perfect sunset or sunrise chill. Not that I’ve been to Ibiza but I’ve heard the compilations.

Me neither, but I will happily take that. This was exactly that type of track - doesn’t have a particular message and not meant to change the world. But if it can evoke the feeling you describe I’m a happy guy. :)
