Sounds like Alison Moyet.

Perhaps roll back the reverb on the lead vox.

Thanks, I have been compared to Alyson and Chrissy Hynde over the years.
Big difference is, I write my own music and lyrics.

Re: A music track I wrote.....

I'll keep you in mind for "Lost Boys 2: London Calling"

unless we strike that deal to do "Lost Girls" and I cast even somehow more effiminate motherfuckers than Twilight.

Re: A music track I wrote.....
It's a damn good song, just needs to be mixed. I saw your comment about it being recorded live to a cassette, so under that consideration, I think this is really good. The vocals are a little flat in some areas, but it's honestly nothing that couldn't be fixed with a few more takes/comps. It's solid if you get recorded and mixed professionally imo.
It's just a bad day, not a bad life. If you run, I will run, until my last breath.

It’s good. Good enough. The video is a bit too slow for me. At four minutes, it’s a long song with that video.

Good, though.

Re: A music track I wrote.....
Sounds good, cool ideas.

Needs mixing and a little production help but it's a good tune.

I would try to make it sound fuller, even though it's a sparse arrangement.

I would try to capitalize on that bass line, add some ambient synth pads or something to fill it out... maybe try a different reverb on the vocals.

Oh this is an old tune you made in the 80's?

Nice.

If you have a decent .wav file you can upload I could see what mastering tricks I could use to make it sound a bit more polished.

You should upload whatever you exported from cubase to google drive, dropbox, or whatever file sharing service you prefer.

I'll see if I can master it, would be fun... if not, no worries.

Really cool either way.
