This is a rock/electronic song I wrote a couple of years ago for a (failed) attempt at the RPM Challenge.  I did this over two evening sessions.   I like to use a lot of synths, but I also like mixing in a more organic sound.  I never really know which genre my music fits into.

All music and vox by me.

This is serious quality. Kind of reminds me of Talk Talk - and I mean that in a good way. This is a radio-ready, chart-busting song. Amazing vocals and faultless production. Wow!

I got that Talk Talk feel, too! Nice tune and I like your voice, too. The production is also stellar! What a way to introduce yourself! Welcome to the site!

Wow, what a vocal!

Your genre is good music! This has definitely got a lot of commercial potential. Nicely composed song, very well put together and arranged and overall it sounds great! Looking forward to hearing more from you.

Cheers,

Blimey...this is good...as good a song as I have heard on here recently.

Love the icy synths, lots of nice variations in the melody, which keep it very interesting.

As others have said, your vocal is stunning, and love the echoing backing vocals too.

This song should be huge..amazing quality in all respects!!

I enjoyed the first one so much that I sought out another - and  i'm not disapointed.

Great song and well produced.  Particularly like the slightly synchopated arpegiated/sequenced lines.  Great idea.
