I really got the 80's vibe out of this one! Since you been gone, and the vocals reminded me a bit of the singer from GTR. I think it's well produced. Maybe a little faster in the tempo wouldn't hurt.

Hey Terry,This song has a GREAT CATCHY HOOK. I LOVE that about it. The rest of the melody is good too and the production sounds good to me. Hard to review lyrics unless you post them.I get a retro vibe .. maybe 70's/80's.Dean

Thanks for the compliments - I really think this song is catchy and has a chance as a hit. Of course i want it to sound modern and NOT 1980s - luckily I am a fan of GTR so thats nice!What does the song need to be more modern for the Young Pop Teen market ?
