I don't think I can dislike any of your tracks, they are so well-produced and so musical! :D How did you obtain that guitar sound?

I'm not a guitarrist, so I play guitar on my keyboards, but the sound is only one aspect of the issue: I use the sampled layered guitar sounds on my keyboards, effets as well (for the guitar effects like distortion, chorus, etc I use effects from the keyboard..., I don't use any plugin in the DAW, I use them only to glue the sound in the mix) for this...and I attempt to play paying attention to the overall result as guitar and not to the keyboard performance, using mod weel, pitch weel and pots to obtain variations, details, etc.. So, in few words, assuming you have good samples, it is more important to articulate it to obtain the most credible sound.

Hi @kamiluni , this has a very pronounced 80s vibe, though your production sounds better than almost any 80s pop track.
You have a very good arrangement, lots of nice sounds, good complementary rhythms and ear candy. The sounds fit together well. I suppose you used your Yamaha workstation?
The vocals are spot on! Not only your perofrmance but the processing and they are where they belong: right at the front! I think the whole song has a very good balance and everything is transparent.

@jeanette_c Many thanks Jeanette...I don't use only my Yamaha workstation, in this case for drums, bass line and one of the guitar I used my Korg workstation. Anyway, I generally tend to use all the tools I have :). This grant in my opinion, much variety and richness to the song.

I love it!!! That kick and the bass is heavy and sweet at the same time.

That second voice "behind" the main vocals is a great idea!

The only thing I can think of as critique is to work with more dynamics between verse and chorus. I myself to get into that wall of sound mood for the chorus, and deleting a lot of tracks on the verse.

But all your sounds are so sweet to listen to, so don't take my comment to serious! :D

Thanks a lot for this! A great SONG!
