(maybe vocals are a bit loud) Music content could be more interesting. Lyrics are not exciting at all from a "great song," perspective, IMveryHO. Take advantage of the fact you're not American and use some local German or Italian language phrases to get the vocals a little more unique. Unless you only writing for us fools in America!! (did I just say that out loud?) Assuming you're writing dance music, I think with a little more research & listening to who you think is already producing AWESOME dance music, you'll get lots of ideas. Especially for the drums and bass sounds. But I think this mix as is might work for film/tv listings, but I certainly, am NOT an authority. I'm sure you'll get more opinions soon!!

thanks a lot for your precise and honest feedbacks ! I'm planning to submit it to the recording artist categorie.In fact my main language is french sgs4u (about 30 % of Swiss people or citizen are speaking french I don't think american are fools at all hihihi, and if they like French I will maybe add some french speaking words at the intro,I composed/produced the music and arrangement for this song, I'm gonna record the voices parts again in 2 weeks (as my voice skills improved and I receive a new mic, it makes a huge difference).What I'm already surprised by the internet exposure for this song, is the volume of listeners for this song (more than 3500 plays in 6 days) Hoi Martin from Zurich (I'm near Bern) very nice site and some songs are very interesting, will send you a pm to discuss offline if you agree,Some other comments ? don't hesitate to be harsh

I'm a fussy old bastard who likes the Rolling Stones and Lou Reed. And consequently I pretty much criticise a lot of the music I hear here. Especially over produced dance type stuff. Even though my own music ( www.liamkellylive.com ) is pretty crap.But this is an excellent tune. Pitch it to the pop listings and the dance listings. If you're looking to sell it on to another artist.If you're looking for a deal yourself, you will have to work on your accent. It comes through and while that doesn't bother me, it will bother me it will bother A + R people.Tight production, sexy tune. As someone said earlier, the lead vocal is a bit hot in places. Have to watch that cutting a pasting!!!!! But there's potential there.LiamGood luck
