Music Review

I really like how the instrumental starts. As im listening to lyrics of the music I like how you address all people and say love gods love. I can attest that the only true and unconditional love is really God's love. If we as a people really took the time to appreciate people and value them. Then we can truly start to begin to understand what real love is. I want to say thank you for being a creator of great music. Keep spreading the positivity and I hope to hear more very soon.

motivation

Maybe you didn’t exactly make a conscious resolution, however you probably have some areas of your playing that you want to improve in the new year. Are you on track to achieve these goals or has your progress and ambition slowly come to a standstill? Not to worry, if you haven’t stuck with those resolutions you’re definitely not alone. In fact you’re completely normal. Most resolutions and goals start out with excitement and determination, then slowly wither away after a few weeks. Chances are you’re reading this article because you’re genuinely interested in improving your musical skill set, whether it’s ear training, improvising, music theory, or instrumental technique. That’s great, we want you to improve these skills and we want the information on this site to make a difference in your playing. However, it’s going to take more than just reading an article to make this happen. The reality is that many people are going to read these articles and then…you guessed it, do nothing. I often did the same with the information I received from my lesson teachers, I would study my notes, make some goals in my mind, imagine getting better, and then never implement it into my daily routine. With any type of large or life altering goals there seems to be a similar pattern in the way that resolutions are approached: You want to improve or notice a problem with your playing and decide to make a change You take the first step to research and find information on improving this skill You read these articles and study the information surrounding these techniques You get excited about improving themselves and start making goals You draw up a practice plan and envision change and success And when the time comes to actually do the work you find yourself hitting a wall, getting discouraged, and even giving up This cycle continues over and over again, each year. It’s no different with music as it is with exercising or learning a new language. It’s much easier and fun to plan out your goals and write out your practice schedule than it is to do the actual work. It’s a reality that I’ve often noticed in my own attempts in the past to get better. Goals and resolutions are made each year and look great on paper, yet the bleak reality is that few are often completed. If you truly want to improve, you have to take this information and apply it to the real world in a serious way. You have to find a way to stop this cycle of mediocrity. CREATING MOTIVATION By now it’s probably safe to assume that you’ve found music a meaningful, enjoyable, and challenging pursuit and that you’ve made some goals to become a better musician. Now what’s going to push you to achieve these goals? Looking back at my own experience, I’ve found that there are two main sources of motivation that will push you to achieve your goals: Inspiration and Pain. I) INSPIRATION Inspiration is defined as “the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.” Inspiration is the force that first propelled you on your musical journey. It’s your very own musical ‘big bang.’ So think back, what drew you to music in the first place? What was it that inspired you to listen to jazz (or any type of music for that matter)? Why did you feel compelled to improvise a solo? What was it about the sound coming from your favorite records or performers that stimulated your mind and spurred on the creative spirit within you? You may not be able to put these feelings into words, but every musician has a reason for playing buried somewhere within themselves. These intangible sources of inspiration awaken the artist inside of us and push us to improve each day. Staying connected with this source is crucial to remaining motivated as a creative individual. You want to feel like the kid that just picked out their first instrument or the music aficionado that just discovered the record that will change their life. Full of excitement and energy and striving to improve and find answers — it’s not a job or a chore, but a passion. Musical inspiration comes from hearing great live performances, meeting your musical heroes, breaking new ground in the practice room, feeling the rush of performing in front of an audience, creating music with other musicians, and having an insightful lesson with a great teacher. “Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel…”~Hunter S. Thompson For any musician, especially creative improvisers, New York is a vital source of inspiration. In this city I’ve met my musical heroes, I saw what was possible technically on my instrument, and what was possible musically as an improviser. The live music that surrounds you inspires and energizes you to get serious about the music and to work harder for your musical goals in the practice room. Every other player is incessantly pushing you, both directly and indirectly, to get better . Stay on it, or get left behind! I’ve sat inches away from Clark Terry as he taught me the melody to a tune, I talked with Tom Harrell about composing behind the Village Vanguard after one of his sets, and I’ve played with Mulgrew Miller as he directed ensembles over standard tunes. These were all events that elevated my commitment to music and motivated me to work even harder. These experiences reconnected me with my original passion for music and gave me the inspiration to expand my limits in the practice room.

Feel the love

I see a lot of potential for this song! The production and arrangements music wise is current for the 2020's. Invest and find a professional singer and prepare to compromise on the melody just a little to allow the singer to fully express the energy that I am hearing. The lyrics are fair and work well for Talkin' Bout Love. It's good, so take a listen y'all!

Your review

I like the lyrics and the meaning behind it but I think the production and the beat should be changed to enhance vocals and to make the lyrics stand out more but besides that the message is meaningful

A few comments and suggestions

The effects sound good overall. However, I think the vocals need more work; a little more emotion in the vocals would help the song move along. There are some good moments and emotion though. The flanger/phase effects are pretty good. A little pitch correction would also help in some areas of vocals. The overall mix needs some "glue" in order to make it sound more cohesive. I think it's the small details in these areas that can make the mix sound better. Overall pretty good. Sincerely and Respectfully, José René

A Song Full of Inspiration

Overall i like the idea of this song. I like that the words are very inspirational and encouraging to the listener. The musical track could use more development especially before the bridge of the song. The vocals in the beginning verses seem a little low for the song and for the singer. When the singer began to sing in his upper register later on in the tune and began to add some ad libs with the melody, it elevated the song nicely. It was great hearing some background vocals eventually. I suggest putting some background vocals in the beginning verses as well. All in all, nice job.

I love the beat and the message

I love the beat and the message. The vocals on the track are not as strong as they could be. That could have something to do with the mixing and mastering. Sounds like you are a great songwriter. Maybe writing for other artists would also be an avenue to look at. Keep spreading love... We need it right now.

Vocals

Ok this is a great beat! And great lyrics! But your vocals are in the wrong key, sounds like song is C and your singing G.. I think. Robert you have to make your voice match melody, like C and C! Chris Brown was out thru Vocal lessons I even took them and learned how to do alot of cool stuff. Send me a text if I didn't explain it well. BUT DON'T STOP..

In My Opinion

Greetings, Thank you for choosing me to review your work, I count it an honor to be included in such a task. My hat is off to you and anyone willing to step out and share their gift, talent and love of music to the public. Be it a musician, singer, song writer, actor and so-on. I myself, via 40 some years of experience in the fields, on the road, in the studio, radio, TV, video, and management, consider myself to be a seasoned musician, singer, song writer, studio-sound tech/engineer/ owner/operator, stage manager, find it sometimes hard/difficult and perhaps not even fair to sit in a seat, voicing My Opinion concerning another's creative efforts. Especially in certain genres of music I am not all that familiar with concerning very important elements that make up and meet the required standards to justify the various levels of ratings and grades. So, in saying ALL that, I will limit myself to MY Opinion concerning the quality of the work according to My ears, and the standards I have been familiarized with thru-out the years. I hold to the old - saying " Beauty Is In The EAR of The Beholder ... LOL. The sound quality of the recording over-all is very crisp and bright and clear, Consider adding a little processing on your vocals, a little , not singing in a tunnel, more natural sound, but, not dry and flat either. It would add sustain and smooth-out your voice so it not drop off. I really enjoyed the message in this song.Think about a music solo break to step away from vocals for a short period in future works. Vocals are smooth and natural, sort of - down to earth as they say, and extremely peaceful. The mix levels let me know who was still in charge of this song. Very easy to sit back and listen to. I mean no offense in any part, I myself take all feedback and use it as a tool toward my next project. I pray you feel the same way. Either way, I say to you, keep doing what you do, keep kicking and enjoying what you do. I tell folks all the time for many years. When it stops being FUN, then it's time to stop, and stand back and think about what we are doing, why we are doing it, how we are doing it, what we and others are getting out it. Is it what we want, and how we want it. IF NOT. what are willing to do from there? Thank you again for asking MY OPINION. Johnny

yep you did it again

Ok Robert, it's me again thanks for the " helpful " hit .... let's hope i can be as useful this time..... i was very reluctant to review someone i already did , but well after listening to five other songs , again this is a song.....yay.... no the cold hard facts..lol.... another fab demo... .Produce this on with a live band , that will smoke that groove , and literally set this song on fire. For Real .. it reminds me of a modernize version of early madonna having a super hit from this song...yeah it is that good..why ...nice , and interesting chord progression , great vocal arrangement, excellent pacing in the song and most important viciously danceable. that's why i'd say a madonna superhit..... NOw I also recommend a really hope female vocalist or a cool debbie harry from blondie type......do you play instruments , i ask cause i can't see you not because of your obvious musicality in writing .....now the not so good... you are a super writer and arranger , and producer ...but only a decent singer ....not to downgrade you at all, but your songs are much better than you performance-wise. Which is one reason i call these demos......that actually can taken as a compliment...these two songs I heard from you could both easily be hits with the proper high class production , and front person.....which what I said in the first review.....
