My Song Do listen and review

Post by moorishblue26 » Thu Jul 01, 2021 6:20 pm

Hi All,

This is a track, which is a mix of English and Hindi, has got Guitar, Piano, Dafli (Traditional Indian Bass Instrument), Manjira (Traditional Indian Percussion Instrument), and Drums.

I would request, you not to focus on recording nuances, that's a skill I am learning, and it will take a while for me to master, which I will do, but on the creative aspect and how does it sound. I bring a lot of variety, and my music does not belong to only one style. Does it ring a bell, does it sound melodious, that's all I wanna know at this stage.

I think the concept of the song is good. It would seem you didn't write this for a listing, which is fine. Your voice has a nice sound, but you will probably want to learn to tune it. I know some people have issue with that, but it seems to be pretty standard practice now.

Too many combined styles in the same track. If your goal is Film/TV (if it's not, let me know), that generally doesn't work. The Indian instruments and the piano/guitar are at odds with each other. In this world, you want a defined stye. I would make an instrumental cue that uses only Indian instruments. That type of world music tends to work. Instead of the vocal, I would use an Indian instrument as the melody lead. The vocal, being so out of tune, is very distracting.

If you don't know how to play enough Indian instruments, I'd seek out collaborators. Sometimes we have really good ideas but not the right skill set to fully execute them. I'm one of those folks as I write songs but can't sing for sh*t and don't do production.

Hope that helps!
:D Casey
