I am working with an outside producer to create a contemporary version of "Too Ghoul For School". I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for listening.

Not my wheelhouse, this genre - so with that disclaimer:
I've liked this song from the first time you posted it.
However - taking 48 seconds for the HIT to HIT... just seems way too long.
How would it spoil the lyric/storyline/build - to splice that in much sooner, and hit even harder?
It's such a great hook... gotta get there sooner, IMHO.

HTH - let's see what the pros offer.
Your mileage may vary.

Thanks, Peter. I'm glad that you like the song. We're trying to get the production as contemporary as possible.

I like what you have, but I have a few thoughts you might care to consider...
- I agree the run up to the first chorus is too long (about 1/3rd of the whole song).
- I'd also suggest bringing the vocal closer (and drier), especially in the verses.
- perhaps make successive choruses sound/feel a little 'bigger' than previous ones.
Nice song though, so I wish you well with it Lamar.

Great job on working with feedback! I like this much better with shorter intro. I think it would be nice to make a more noticeable switch in the chorus, maybe bring up the synth pad or something like that to make it pop more. Nice work.

The Final Version - Really

Good luck for its success.
Cheers.
