Loved both of them! Smooth, sexy, and funky...right up my alley. The only suggestion I could give is to tweek the vocals on Loving U a bit. At times, they came over rather harsh. Maybe EQ the high end and/or lower the vocals and add a little more reverb. Either way, they're both still great songs! Message me when you have more. thumbs up!

These are good demos. I like your vocal harmonies a lot. 'Loving U' has a really good melody. I would perhaps insert a breakdown a little earlier, don't make us wait so long for it. And some non-synth based instrumentation (guitars, real drums, etc.) would add interest and make the track stronger.

Keep up the good work. Post some more when you have 'em.

I just listened to "Dream World" because it sounded appealing to me.. The beat is so fantastic..love the snare rolls. Sometimes I think that vocals can completely ruin some songs but your voice just makes it sound serene.

What is your main problem?

I enjoyed some of them , you sound like Prince at times. I think with the right producer etc... you can have a successful career in the music biz. You obviously have some talent, keep doing your thing!

The best songs I think were:

loving u

gotta go

pretty girls

I would like to hear the final product when your done.

Time to Pay is good too...sounds kind of like a mix between justin timberlake and....someone else. I don't know. I love the high backing tones at the beginning though, complements the rest of it very nicely.

It's cool, a little fuzzy around tthe edges on both voice & music quality. But that'll be fixed with a real professional studio, ya know? So it's cool from me. Not really anything memorable so far.

But keep up the good work!

Yes, at 19, I finally saw the Revolution, a legendary band. And I talked to Wendy!!! biggrin In addition to seeing Prince, I have now lived life. Thank you Purple People!!

There's a lot of good stuff in this music, but there are some negatives. As a musician myself I know that people saying "it's good" is really not helpful beyond being encouraging. So it's good, but...

It seems a bit too soft, both the track and the vox. Lacking a bit of energy. Sort of like Prince's first album, his vox were hard to hear & understand even though they were good musically. You maybe need to loosen up slightly. Are you singing in a bedroom where you can't totally let loose?

I especially think the tracks sounds a bit generic and at the same time uses some cliche sounds that might make the music sound dated. Like it's all done with one keyboard. The good news is with a good producer this can be fixed. Or hook up with some musicians to liven it up.

The songs themselves are okay, not really my cup of tea. They are a bit familiar for better and for worse. Pop, catchy, probably some folks would dig 'em but to me they are too plastic for my tastes. With some real musicians I could see it taking on a more organic and neo-soul tone, which would suit me. If you keep the synth sound, it needs more energy. Just my oninion of course!

I gave a bunch of criticism but I would not have done so if there was not potential for you and your music. I have heard some terrible stuff, and I usually don't bother to critique it.

You obviously have talent, but it does need work. There are so many good musicians out there, and we're all trying to get noticed. We have to really do something to separate ourselves. I don't know how to do it myself yet, even, so don't take what I say as superior preaching.

But you have done the first part--making good music. Now you have to make it great!

I like it!

I like how you go all funky and smooth with the vocals (they sound great on headphones!). The production could use some work because it has kind of like a "bedroom production" quality to it (even though it's a really good one wink). Maybe put some more musicians in the mix and maybe increase the tempo a bit and add some 'punchyness' on some of them.

But all in all, I'm impressed and I really dig the vibe.

I've listened to 10 demos - not bad ! Kinda like your voice but as someone said above maybe you can "let yourself go" a bit more ? And the addition of "real" instruments would give the songs more life. But I know, these are demos and (good) musicians want money for their effort.

My favorite is pretty girls !

Good luck and inspiration for your further projects !
