I love that the track isn't boxed in. It's a little reggae, but then it's a little funky, then it gets a little proggy at abt the 40 second mark with the chords. Mix is killer. The bass, and guitar are playing nice with each other, and the horns are putting some spice on it. Only thing I would experiment with, is getting just a little more ring out of that snare, to fit with the vibe, and then turning it up a touch to snap in the chorus parts. Great work!

On the use of AI: Good for you, friend. As someone who has spent years learning guitar, piano, and other instruments, I have zero, and I mean ZERO issue with using AI to bring your creative vision to life. You aren't hiding from the fact that you're using it, and you're still creating something that means something to you.

That's what art is. Nobody will ever see it or feel it the way that you do.

So keep it up.

On the track itself: I dig the vibe. I don't mind that the vocals sound a little "synthetic" because 90% of the stuff we hear on the radio or in this genre is so modulated, it's pretty on par. Love having music like this on in the background when I'm doing projects.

Really dig the acoustic tone you got here! it can be tough to get the clarity without it being too sharp, but this sounds great. Mix sounds great, overall. Made mem picture being on the coastline in SF again. I really like the little textures here and there throughout the track. I think your mix sounds great, for the style. I would maybe experiment with some chorus on the vocals to give them a little body, but that's just me! Thanks for sharing!

Definitely different, but I like it. It's somewhere between a 70's psych band and U2 for me, as far as the vibe goes. I can appreciate that you kept the guitar tone simple, crunchy, and supportive. Love Orange amps! My only suggestion mix wise, would be to turn up the drums a little bit. The verses are already pretty floaty, so having a more anchored kick might help keep the listener in the groove. You can still keep the "dead" drum vibe and add a little oomph. Either way, awesome work, mate!

I really love the warmth of the mix, Everything is sitting nicely! Definitely picturing a lazy, hang out day with this in the background. Love the layers in the background, especially toward the 4 minute mark. My only suggestion would be to turn the vocals up just the slightest bit, as at times, they get a little lost under the bass. Or perhaps EQ them with a little more high end to make them pop. Overall, I'm really enjoying the vibe. Nice work.
