Oh yeah, the singer.

Is this a one taker or comped?

His tone is really good for the genre. That's a big deal.

His pitch isn't great. If this is a one taker you can probably work with him and make it fit. I'm sure you'll be whipping out the autotune.


How much have you worked with arrangement and songwriting with these guys? The chorus sounds like a pre-chorus to me. A big part of it is the way the drummer is coming out of the pre-chorus. He's not making it brutally obvious that THIS is the chorus now. That's the drummers #2 job behind timekeeping. (I'm listening on just one side...these damn 1/8" jacks!!! If anything is hard panned, I maybe missing it).

Anyway, I would do some critical listening to the way this chorus is working. The melody seams alright. But there is something really bothering me about this choruses lack of chorusness.

Timing and groove are important, but I think it's the arranging that really makes a song work. I wouldn't let this chorus out as is, but that's just my personal opinion.
