TO: CHORUS 2 ---------------------------------- pro Reviews good story with the decent hooks sung with feeling plenty of drama and tension in the arrangement which enhances the story - lost on foot Good vibe from the outset, and bringing the vocal forward (0:39) draws attention to the storytelling. the production is slick, with some useful emphasis from the backing vocals. I enjoyed listening; keep up the good work! - Greg Frain |
