"Stay Hooked On Me"

Enough POP for awhile, this is more dance industrial. I used Sylenth, Massive, Predator synths, Reason for drums and bass and Amplitube with the Poulin cabinet sims on the guitars. Any critiques welcome, it's a work in progress.

Stay Hooked On Me
 
Re: "Stay Hooked On Me"

Very well produced. It sounds like 80's music which I still like more than today's popular stuff. However, it sounds very commercial. There's something kind of insincere about it. Maybe it's too perfectly produced. I can't put my finger on what it is exactly. Other than that you did a fantastic job. I can't think of anything else wrong with it. Well done.

Thanks for the listen and words. I'll have to think about the sincerity aspect, perhaps some wailing vocal ad libs in parts would add some color and spice. I need to massage the mix and vocals a bit to get them to "speak" a little more. Anyhow, thanks again!

+1 Yes definitely the 80's sound, with the vocals of maybe from "Phish".....good job!

If I get the BBQ mix approval I know I'm on the right track! Thanks man. I think I'm getting the vocal mix better today, just want to add some ad libs.

I think your ear is better than mine , it's just hard to mix your own creations

You ears seem fine to me :) it is very true it's hard to be objective when you're too close to something. Take some of the women I've been with! :banghead:

This is one of the better tunes that you've posted here. Sounds pretty damned good. This one and Nothing Without You are both really solid songs.

Thank you GuitarStv and Strangesound that makes me happy. I have definitely been trying to write stronger more commercial hooks, I'm glad you think it's working.
 
Re: "Stay Hooked On Me"

killer synths and production man, very 3D sounding
singing/songwriting is miles ahead of most, my friends that heard this song thought it was killer
