It's yours... I've played with this for a couple of days and my lyrics just ain't up to par. Once again, I give up.

I'm gonna tell you soundclick is really f*%^% up - their always down lately. I got to listen to Ooohh and Psycoticsoul ? Very good as usual. I had to pause psycoticsoul cause I'm putting a bass line down today to a song I'm working on that sounds very similar. Came back like 30 seconds later and everything is down.

You have a a very good feel for the pocket and a ton of groove. I'll go back when the f-ing site comes back up.

Is that you singing on ooooh?

That's me and the soul children
Thanks for listening ToyStein. I'm still digesting "Race Cars"... I'm still amazed at how much you sound like Lewis Taylor.

hook up with a lyricist. your grooves are 2 hot 2 go butt naked.

now i know that's right...

2 in the works now. I was sittin in the park thankin....feedin the squirrles, writing lyrics...and thankin...

Hey Psy, I really dig "The Junkie Chase" and "Psykoticsoul". You are one of the best independent funkers in the world, man, and don't ever let anyone tell you different!

Peace,
JD

Thanks JD! Junkie Chase is gonna be another collabo between me and Izak'teaz aka Paisleypark4 aka The Experimentalist Extraordinaire. I'm gonna give "Truine" a listen today with hopes that soundclick isn't on crack today

Either I officially suck now ... or it's dead as hell in here...


I hope it's the latter

Psy your really pissing me off man!!!!

You are th most talented funk composer I know who doesn't finish his tracks, and make them songs!!!
What the hell are you waiting for dude! This shit is Hot!!!!

This is exactly what music needs today. Original compositions. Man you put some madd rap flows and soulful singing on this stuff and your in the house! Your stuff sounds fresh not just copycat funk!

But please Im begging you get wit some rappers and singers and get this shit out to some agents and labels!!!

I like the breakdown on Cool, at 2 minutes. Funk it up, yo!

"Cool" indeed is cool, love the vibe of this jam! Maybe try working on the sound of the drums and the bass (not the actual patterns, these are cool). I think you need them to sound more "fresh" or something. But that's easy enough said, I never get my tracks to really sound like I had intended.

"...outtake #18..." is really beautiful, very good! I love stuff like this!

"F*ck You - featuring Nutjobnosoul" I don't know what to say about this, I just don't hope it's you singing there, lol! All in good fun, Psyko. The backing track is cool as always, but I enjoyed the other two tracks more.

BTW, I hear great vocal lines in my head when listening to some of your tracks. Soon I hope to have my recording equipment fit for recording vocals, if it's OK with you, I'd really like to try to sing to some of your tracks.

Sometimes Soundclick do be on dat stuff u right

funkaholic1972 said:

Thanks, man. I've been told my some that my recordings were almost too clean. I actually intented to murk it up a bit... maybe I overdid it. I'm still trying to find that happy medium.



Gracias!!! Let's just say that one was another incarnate of a collaboration with Paisleypark4. I swear that song is gonna be the death of me.



That's why I put "joke" beside that one. Just know that Nutjobnosoul is definitely not me.



I'd be happy to turn something loose. Lemme know which one.

VinaBlue said:

Thanks Vina

Littlewing said:

I agree with littlewing on this, man your stuff is fresh, I love it! Weve all been over the singer stuff and it probably just pisses you off. I've offered my quirky talents, just send me a track.

Like I said before, I don't really care, I like listening as is.

Littlewing said:

Lately I really have tried to finish stuff... I just get sidetracked, then I usually get pissed myself because my lyrics sound stupid to me or too pretentious... I've just got more confidence in the music rather than the lyrics. I guess I should let you guys be the judge of that huh?

ToyStein said:

Check your orgnotes.

I've missed this?!!? WTF???
Can't listen now but I will tonight when I have better sound and edit this post.

psykosoul said:

hey ur vocals are better than mine i cant sing worth a damn. Even the chorus of "oooh" shows me that u got skills man. I could never get that sound if tried. My voice is way light and momotone....but i dont care, no one else is gonna sing 4 me, so i have 2 do it myself.

Man, we need 2 bring u out!

Littlewing said:

I've been down this road before, Low self esteem, sorry. psykosoul's doin' what suits him, and he surely has a great collection of tracks that funk the boat out to sea (? i think i'm losing it! ) What's this; "I'm gonna be rich & Famous" trip anyhow? Takes the 'SOUL' outa a lot of Muso's .

Ha...well I just found U Psykosoul. And as many tracks as you have that could lend itself to vocals I found myself going thru the entire collection just groovin'. Great instrumental to chill with. SexySmooth...nicely produced. Keep going.

FLUX said:

Thanks FLUX... I'm definitely doing what suits me. In all honesty, I'll probably never do this professionally because it's like therapy to me. I do it when the feeling hits. If music became my full time job, it'd probably wouldn't be as much fun to me anymore. I just like sharing with you guys especially, that's all.

For the record, I take all comments as compliments. I appreciate anyone who is giving 15 seconds or more of their time to listen

Red said:

Thanks for listening, Red.

Hey man did you ever get my orgnote. I don't think mine are working. Either that or everyone just ignores me.

Don't see any orgnote from U Toy. Try again.

Better late than never and bumping this up for those who need to see is just a good thing.
Make it by - great tune, it has a happy/positive vibe which is what I want to hear more from you. My only suggestion would be to turn some of those drum machine effects/beats down a little, it's just a little abrasive and taking away from the groove.

Oooh - Wow, is this smooth and fine. Like a woman with great curves and stops in all the right places. I need more of that chorus or maybe a whole song with it, that's my favorite part. Why don't you sing on these tunes? I mean you don't even need words (that chorus) to get your vibe across.

Swamp thing - Dripping with funk, this tune. Is that a Clavinet or a distorted keyboard? It sounds good whatever it is. I keep waiting to hear the words on this one because I hear a low vocal making sweet love with the listener (maybe that's just me). I like the change at the end, maybe a good chorus? Just wanting it to go somewhere else but whatever.

Blow Up Your Speakers - O.K. is this you singing or is that a guitar? If it's a guitar, just sing already, you've got it all going on. These vocals remind me of Sly (from the Fresh LP) but it feels like you're holding back here. Let it out man!

I see you have additional music too, ya bastid! I don't have time to listen or work on my own stuff and you're posting 15 songs!!! Sound like jelousy coming out here? Good, because it is but I'll get over it.

Overall I love your stuff and the groove seems to be getting more solid and that's what it's all about, IMO. I'm no expert by far, I just go with how it feels, which is also how I make music.

When I get some more of my own stuff done, it would be great to work together even if it's me working on some vocals or something. That's what listening to all of this has made me want to do, let me know!
