Hi Janeray-
These are great. I am happy to help...
On Love Street: The beginning intro reminds me of that song 'Love Will Keep Us Together', but then goes in a totally different direction, which I kind of liked. The wedding bells in the background is a nice touch. The overall song performance and musical arrangement has elements of The Beatles, Electric Light Orchestra (ELO/Geoff Lynn), as well as reminds me a bit of Roy Orbison. It's very catchy tune. I could see this definitely on the radio or as something played during the opening credits of a romantic comedy film. I like this one a lot too.
Lady Gardenia: First, let me say that
I like the music quite a bit, but I am having a hard time with the vocal performance. It sound like either autotune was used too aggressively, with it's artificial vibrato turned up too much, or that the singer has trouble with his pitch confidence and the pitch of the vocal seems to warble a bit both above and below the 'intended' pitch. If the singer could perform it 'straight' without too much vocal effects and/or no vocal
affectations, I think the vocal would come across much better.
These are great demos. Regardless of my criticism, I'd still be interested to hear more songs in the future, and later buy a CD from this artist. There is a lot of songwriting talent here, as well as a very palatable and enjoyable vocal (at least in the 2 songs from last time and the first song here). This artist has lots of potential.
