Review - My Addiction

Sat Oct 09, 2004 12:02 am

Hey guys ^_^ Check out my first attempt at a recorded song. http://music.download.com/kym

It's called My Addiction and it was written and recorded in 4 hours.

I've put it on the net for you guys to download free. Reviews are much appreciated :) If you don't like something or think something could be improved, don't be afraid to tell me about it. I prefer honesty over watered-down any day.

I've sent the song to most of my friends who've all given me good feedback, but I can't help but think maybe they're biased to some degree? Therefore hey, it'd be great if I could get feedback from people I don't know as well.

Please don't be too general i.e. it's good. The more specific, the better :)

Thanks!

Ok, firstly, I must say, the first time I listened to it, I had no idea it was you. I even popped onto Yahoo Search and tried to figure out who it was. So in that sense, I really did think it was someone professional. But when I couldn't find anything, I started wondering if maybe it was you, which is why I asked. I love it. Not my favourite genre, I prefer rock, but all that aside. It is great. And oh yea, my brother agrees. I kept saying, "I can't believe that's my boss." - Sapphire Faerie

Ok... I was going to come here and quote that myself... but as you've already beaten me to it. I'll just verify that I did say that. =P

And oh yea... I am now madly in love with you...

Sorry about that. The link is now fixed.

I pretty much thought the same as Chass there, I thought it was a new group I hadn't heard of :P. Glad I wasn't the only one, cause I already feel bad enough I thought it was like a group of people :oops: . I can't really say what needs to be fixed, I like the tune, it's the type of songs I'd listen to. I thought it was catchy and different, and still fresh, it wasn't a type of rhythm that reminds me of any particular song. I liked it and I can't believe you did that in only four hours. I will request that I get bragging rights when you make it big, and you must send me an autographed something :D


oh and thanks for thinking all this about me SL, I never knew <3 :roflol:

I told you what I thought over IM and I'm still listening to it! ^_^

Mat sent it me over IM.

It sounds very professional, and it's quite catchy, but I probably won't be listening to it again because it's not a genre I like at all. Good voice, too.

Allthough it isnt a genre I generally enjoy I have listened to it three or four times and I agree it is pretty catchy and professional.

As I said to you over IM Sl, damn good job =;0)

that's you??!!!?? Wow! That sounds very professional!! Amazing JOb SL! You're gonna be a famous singer soon! :P

Sat Oct 09, 2004 5:42 pm

I couldn't understand some of the lyrics, but that could be due to my bad hearing..

Anyway, its not really my style of music, but good job anyway. :)

My goodness, SL, you have got to send a demo to a record label in your area. Hm...what do they have in Australia, Atlantic/Warner? :P Anyways, are you going under a band/group, or did you do all the harmonies by yourself (cause they're awesome!)?

It's really great, sounds amazingly professional. The only things I notice are the occasional "flat" notes (I think I heard just two that were slightly below, but I'm not sure if they were on purpose or not), and that the extra "vocal touches and flairs" (I don't know what they're called, but you know, those "Whoaaaaaaa..." or "Yeaaahhhh..." parts that dominate the song) could have a bit of extra strength. But then again, R&B isn't a genre I commonly listen to, so I can't give much critique without knowing the standards.

The song is extremely catchy. Some of the lyrics could be a bit more sophisticated, but overall it's a really good song. The music and the beat seems to fit it perfectly. The background "echo" is great as well.

wow that's really good. i'm not such a fan of the beginning, but it gets better.

I know I'm not the first to say, but I love it even though it's not my favorite genre.

I'm putting this on my mp3 playing and forcing all my friends to listen to it, I don't believe that's you! It sounds so profesional!

I think you already know what I think of it. And no, I'm not biased - a lot of my friends said the same.

Good luck with the producers you sent it to, I'm going to speak to my friend about getting you on the student radio ASAP.
