Title: Please critique this song for me...
Post by: Gregjazz on Mon 04/07/2005 04:24:50
So I've made this song that I'm going to submit to a monthly contest. I just wanna make sure this song is the best it can be. Here it is:

All I Want To Do Is Dance (http://herculeaneffort.adventuredevelopers.com/all%20I%20want%20to%20do%20is%20dance.mp3) (is the song title okay?)

Right now I would really appreciate any comments/feedback on the mixing especially.

If I get top 3rd I win a whole bunch of music software loot, so any suggestions you can give me would be extremely welcome.

Really good job, Geoffkhan! Sounds very professional. I was curious to hear your voice, and I must say it was over my expectations.
The style isn't really in my field of expertise, but I'd say the mixing sounds all right to me.

Reminds me of a 70's movie about pimps or something.  I suppose I'd have to know more about the contest before I could say if it fits, but if the contest is 70's pimp music yours WILL win.  Cool, daddio!

The rules were: music to dance to

Which is great because it's pretty general, so you could make a classical waltz or something.

There's a 2 minute time limit on the song, so I had to make it short, but I think I want to make an extended version with a solo between the verses and a long vamp on the last chorus. That way it'll stick in people's heads without having to listen to the song several times.

There are 5 "yeah"s in the song, and one "hey" to break it up. :P

It already got stuck in my head. (Might be because I've been listening to it all day long). :=

I simply love it! Great job Geoffkhan! :D

Dance dance dance...!

Sounds like a slowed down Jamiroquai song.
Or, in other words, I think it's too slow for a dance number.

Yeah, you're probably right. It's more like a groove song. It's kinda too late to speed it up figuring most of the tracks are audio (bass, guitar, vocals).
