Neo soul ala Amy Winehouse, Mayer Hawthorne

[eeoo]

A publisher I work with is looking for new old school soul ala Amy Winehouse, Mayer Hawthorne so I came up with this one.

Any mix thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks all!

Hey thanks so much John, that means a lot to me! The drums and horns are from a sample collection called Soul School for Reason. I also recorded a higher horn harmony on a tenor sax I have lying around.

Thanks for taking the time!

Awesome!
"pretty claws inside the heart I wear on my sleeve" !!!!
Great line, sounds retro-evocative yet current.
Yeah, those horns are very convincing (and I used to be a horn guy!)
You the man -Rob
