Title: A new song by... me :-)
Post by: Scott Martin :) on December 22, 2008, 01:17:46 PM
Hi Guys, its just a rough mix, but this is a song Ive written.

Id love to hear your thoughts on the song. Feel free to be honest, if you like it, you like it, if not your cup of tea I understand too.

Please bear in mind, I recorded this at home, so its not going to sound like a million dollar record.  ;)

Just wanted to wish you and your Mum a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!



Also, here's a rough mix of 'Now I Can See' : http://www.sca-soundstudios.com/tracks/Now%20I%20Can%20See_RoughMix05.mp3



Peace,

Scott.

Who's the singer of this song?
Seriously, I LOOOOVEEEEEEE IT !!! especially the chorus..
it's a very nice pop/rock song that would fit Kelly Clarkson or Michelle Branch and it kinda reminds me of Driving One of Your Cars...
You must be an amazing songwriter,then..
Did you work on this song all by yourself alone?
I think you should send this song to Clive Davis or whoever he is,to be recorded by Kelly  :)

Thank you so much! The singer is a local girl I paid to sing the song, her name is Kasey McKenzie. The electric guitars were done by a friend of mine, Matt Williams.

I played the acoustic guitar, and programmed the bass and drums. (drums are Max's sample library from XLN Audio)

I wrote the song on my own, i always thought of Kelly Clarkson singing it, at every stage of the writing, so its nice to hear you say it would suit her.

Oh, and the background vocals are my wife, we recorded those last night.

Thanks again!

The song is very good and so is the singer. The structure of the song is prefect, the bridge is powerful. The only thing I could say is the chorus is a bit long. The end of the chorus lacks some catchiness. Maybe you could also add a hook , like a phrase that comes back all the time and that recalls the music pattern.
Anyways, that's very good, you're talented man!

Can't wait!
Who is the singer you're working with? Is she a pro singer?

Hi Sabine, the singer is Kasey Mckenzie, a local girl I found here and paid for her to sing the song.

She is 'pro' in the sense that she is performing gigs a few nights a week, but she is really just starting out in her career. She is only about 20 years old, and has had very little studio experience, but she shows great promise I think.

Ive already discussed the idea of writing some songs for her. She wants a Leona Lewis type vibe.  8)

Wow, impressive. She's lucky to have found a good songwriter to start with!

well done Scott, it's very professional sounding. To me it's the same quality I hear on the radio. Kasey has a really good voice, I way prefer her voice to say Vanessa Amarosi or Gabriella Cilmi etc and prefer this song to theirs! It's quite catchy to me, I'd love to hear more of your songs!
