Hi all,

Wrote this song over the weekend and I would appreciate feedback.

Also, I would like feedback on what genre this is - I can't figure that out myself!

COLD HARD SOUL
(Words by Jonathan Linton, Music by Jonathan Linton)

Dreamy synth-acoustic ballad off a new recording project. Vocals by Courtney Ballardo. Appreciate some fresh ears on this. Thanks for any feedback.

"Wild and Alive" (SoundCloud link)

I'm not the only writer in the group. This piece was written and sung by our bass player. Oddly, it's started as a rock tune, but I put on my producer's cap ... slowed it down ... immensely ... and turned it into a reflective conversation piece.

Any/all comments warmly appreciated.

Kev-

This one current features me singing ... and we will have our lead vocalist eventually track the piece.

Seeking overall comments on the underlying music bed mix.

This one, curiously, was played "almost" live. I overdubbed the keys, but we did the rest of it (Drums/Bass/Elec/Acoustic) all together in two takes.

Been working on this for a bit - It's an early 80's rock meets modern pop hybrid with some big drops and some strong vocal and instrumental hooks - really hoping to do something with this. .

New lead vocalist ... who happens to be my drummer's brother in law - and they're both neighbors of mine ... also laid this vocal down the other night - at the same time he did "Brown Haired Girl".

I'm still growing as a musician and I will gladly welcome advice on this song and how to master it.

Here's a new song. Lyrically this has a "recovery" theme. I may add a little more guitar if necessary but my objectivity is starting to shift a bit so this is a good start for some criticism and mix direction. As always - thanks to anyone who takes the time to listen and feel free to offer any feedback be it opinion or expertise - I'll take it all. Regards. Rob.

Another one of mine that I've got our new lead vocalist (our drummer - his brother in law -- does background harmony) singing. I think his voice is just made for this style of material.
