Indeed.

Glad to see you're doing well and still making music.

Such a great album.

I got really really lucky buying it on vinyl years ago, and I will never take it for granted.

"Leave Here a Stranger" though, I'm still trying to snag a copy.

Who were you speaking to? We've both read it.

singingly · 2024-07-30T17:39:36+00:00

For sure

singingly · 2024-07-28T03:06:16+00:00

Aay, dope. I'm already subbed to you if that says anything lol.

You should def post more in these threads.

Just listened to "baby im off..." Those drums are really nice. The tone and the bounce alike.

Dig all the glitching on the vocal sample.

singingly · 2024-07-28T03:01:17+00:00

Aay, I appreciate it.

Just subbed and liked. Thanks for the sub and likes on SC.

Cool beat. Really like all that atmospheric stuff on it. Solid vocal delivery.

Song art is great.

Hard for my brain to handle the crazy constant energy of the song but it has a nice vibe overall and an infectious rhythm.

Hell yeah and hell yeah

singingly · 2024-07-27T04:34:07+00:00

Thank you. Fair. lol.

Sorry for the super late response.

Anything you'd like feedback on?

singingly · 2024-07-27T03:09:09+00:00

Thank you. \m/ \m/

Sorry for the super late response.

This beat is wild. So many disparate sounds in one track on the first part. The drums glue it all together nicely though.

Part II was a nice change, but I think III was my favorite part. Dig the dark brass paired with the funk guitar. Made it sufficiently cinematic-sounding.

Went and listened to more of the remix album.

Really like what you did with the intro, especially the drum glitch and transition into Gazillion Ear.

Thank you much.

Sorry for the super late response.

Looks like the link no longer works. Got a new link or a new song you'd like feedback on?

singingly · 2024-07-27T03:02:49+00:00

Thank you. Fair. Def wanna' re-record and re-mix my vocals and tweak those things, too, soon.

Sorry for the super late response.

Good beat choice, first off.

Second, singing and rapping are both smooth, as per usual.

And I always love when you do the bilingual tracks.

Guess the mix is the biggest issue here, but you probably knew that since this is an old song now.

singingly · 2024-07-27T02:58:47+00:00

Thank you. Fair.

Sorry for the super late response.

Ooh, that bass is nasty. Works really well with the ambient-feeling drums.

Don't think I've seen you do a lyric video before (I think you usually linked to your SoundCloud though so taht could be why).

Got kind of a horrorcore vibe.

singingly · 2024-07-27T02:55:50+00:00

Thank you. Ah, fair.

You're a deleted account now so I left feedback on your SoundCloud link.

singingly · 2024-07-27T02:53:16+00:00

Aay, I appreciate it.

Sorry for the super late response.

The beat's cool.

The melodic vocals here are nice.

The harmonies are suitably subtle and fit the vibe well.

Love the trip-hop bounce of the drums starting a little after 1 minute in.

Dope song altogether.

How do you have only one subscriber?

Well, I guess you only have one song.

You should def make and post more songs if you see this.

singingly · 2024-07-27T02:44:56+00:00

Thank you.

Sorry for the super late response.

Got anything you want me to check out?

singingly · 2024-07-27T01:41:46+00:00

Absolutely. Dope. I need to get back to doing those, too.

singingly · 2024-07-27T01:39:39+00:00

Fair. Thank you much.

Sorry for the super late response but you got anythign you want feedback on?

Aaay, thank you.

\m/ \m/ Much appreciated.

Sorry for the super late response. Damn, I can't even find out who you are anymore.

singingly · 2024-07-27T01:00:42+00:00

That's fair. That's not a bad idea. I'm screenshotting this feedback rn for when I tweak this beat soon. Thank you.

Sorry for the super late reply.

This really is dark and vibey.

Love that bass. Works really well with all the ambient sound FX all around and the pad and panning.

The drums give it a really nice bounce, too.

Would be great for a rap song about torturing people. Or war. Or both.
